Waiting on the Lord is a confident, disciplined, expectant, active, sometimes painful clinging to God.

Make your life about something bigger than your life.

The entire life of Jesus isn't the story of somebody climbing up a ladder; it's a picture of someone coming down-a series of demotions. The problem with spending our lives climbing up the ladder is that we will go right past Jesus, for He's coming down.

Over and over in the Bible, it is fear that threatens to keep people from trusting and obeying God.

The character of the faith that allows us to be transformed by suffering and darkness is not doubt-free certainty; rather, it is tenacious obedience.

Every day you and I walk through God's shop. Every day we brush up against objects of incalculable worth to Him. People. Every one of them carries a price tag, if only we could see it.

In reality, each thought we have carries with it a little spiritual power, a tug toward or away from God. No thought is purely neutral.
