God not only loves his people but delights in each one of us. He takes great pleasure in us. He's actually blessed in keeping and delivering us. I see this kind of parental pleasure in my wife, Gwen, whenever one of our grandchildren calls. Gwen lights up like a Christmas tree when she has one of our dear little ones on the line. Nothing can get her off the phone. Even if I told her the President was at our door, she'd shoo me away and keep talking. How could I ever accuse my heavenly Father of delighting in me less than I do in my own offspring?
David WilkersonThere is a spiritual Israel and a natural Israel. God is committed to both. Neither replaces the other.
David WilkersonYou see, growing in grace doesn't mean doing more or greater things for God. True growth comes in doing the same things over and over, with more heart assurance that we're doing everything for Him.
David WilkersonHow can you know when you are trusting in man rather than in God? If you fall apart when someone else lets you down, or if the actions of others affect your walk with God, then you know you are leaning on the arm of flesh!
David WilkersonThe Word says, โLove not the world, neither the things that are in the worldโ (1 John 2:15). Jesus warned, โBeware of covetousness: for a manโs life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possessesโ (Luke 12:15). Thingsโour possessionsโcan tie us down to this world. While heaven and hell prepare for war, we go shopping. Eternal values are at stake! The end of all we know is nearโand we are busy playing with our toys!
