God cannot change. He cannot be anything other than who He is. Out of His love and His promises, you were selected as His treasure. God's faithfulness has been the bedrock of His dealings with humanity throughout time.
Graham CookeWhen youโre not fully trusting in the Lord youโre concerned mostly about rescue. โIโm a Christian, get me out of here!โ And the Lord is saying, โYouโre kidding, right? I want to teach you who you are in this situation!โ In some of our situations, He gives us power and authority to move. In other situations He gives us patience because that works just as powerfully, itโs just going to take a few extra weeks.
Graham CookeYour primary calling is to worship ... to pursue celebration and rejoicing as a way of life.

Graham CookeYour identity is being formed whether you understand it or not, whether you are cooperating or not. Something is being formed all the time, either through your response or your non-response. All your circumstances are to establish something. If you don't respond to them properly, then you establish something that you don't really want to be known for.
