God doesn't author hardship but uses it to strengthen us for greater conquests. He never leads us into a storm that He doesn't give us the power to overcome.

We all have life-defining moments. They are like open-book tests, but we don't know we have been examined until it is over.

Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.

There is no other way to know good from evil, right from wrong, unless we have His Word dwelling richly in our heart. It's good for us to spend time in His Word.

What we say in private we must be willing to say with a heart burning with love and honor before the face of our leaders. If not, we will poison our spirits and it will manifest in the presence of our leaders.

God is waiting to satisfy us, yet His goodness will not satisfy us if we are already full of other things.

We must always keep in mind all legitimate authority is from God, and is given for protection, provision, and peace.
