There is nothing worse than a life filled with adversity from which nothing good ever comes.
Charles StanleyGod is responsible for the consequences of our obedience, WE are responsible for the consequences of our disobedience
Charles StanleyGod's arrows of affliction are sharp and painful so He can get our attention. He won't let His beloved children get away with sin because He knows it robs us of blessings, opportunities, and even character refinement.
Charles StanleyThe dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us.
Charles StanleyGod allows us to dace difficulties so that our faith will be stretched and refined. The trials we face provide an excellent opportunity for us to declare our dependence on God and not on ourselves. The way we win the battle with discouragement is by humbling ourselves before God and telling Him that we need Him. There is only one way to do this, and it is through prayer.
