God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.

Some decisions are obviously much more inconsequential than others. For example, let's say you choose the blue shirt over the red one; not much is likely to change. Red meat over white meat once a week won't likely make a huge difference in your health. But if you believe that grilled chicken is healthier than a cheeseburger, your lunch choice might cause you to pause; especially if you know that the cheeseburger also comes with fries and a large chocolate shake.

Never let the presence of a storm cause you to doubt the presence of God.

The fact is, you can't marry the best when you're dating the runner-up. While you're searching for Mr. Right, don't settle for Mr. Right Now.

It's not easy to trust in a God you can't see. That's why so many want God to prove himself so we can trust him. In reality, God wants us to trust him so he can prove himself.

Don't build your ministry on what you're against. Build your ministry on what you're for.

The clearer your vision becomes, the easier it is to guard what God calls you to do.
