Your mind was made to know and love God.

O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.

The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but the well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe - the glorification of the grace and power of his Son - the grace and power that bore Him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done.

God is at work in the worst of times. He is at work doing a thousand things no one can see but him.

All the different ways God has chosen to display his glory in creation and redemption seem to reach their culmination in the praises of his redeemed people. God governs the world with glory precisely that he might be admired, marvelled at, exalted and praised. The climax of his happiness is the delight he takes in the echoes of his excellence in the praises of the saints.

Lavish giving and open homes are close to the center of life in Christ.

Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
