The applause of the audience is short-lived. When calls resound for an encore, we are called to direct our attention to our Master.

Much of life appears mundane at the time. Yet in God's providence every moment includes significant details arranged by His divine hand.

The end of the rope stops in the palm of God.

Don't settle for helping those who will help you in return or doing a good deed for others to see. Help others without expecting anything back. Even if nobody else cares, God will notice.

Christianity is anything but safe. Jesus made clear that trouble and persecution stood in the future for His followers.

Even if God never did another good thing in our lives, we could spend the rest of this life praising Him for what He has already done.

The response to stress is not less time in God's Word, but more.
