God tends to do his best work when the odds appear stacked against him.

Scripture is profitable for training in righteousness. No one succeeds at the highest level in sports without working out. No one makes it in music without lots of practice. No one excels in scholarship without years of study. And no one makes it far in the school of holiness without hours and days and years in the word. You and I simply will not mature as quickly, minister as effectively, or live as gloriously without immersing ourselves in the Scriptures. We need the Bible if we are to be competent Christians.

Seek first the kingdom of God, and then trust that He will take care of our needs, even before we know what they are and where we're going.

You'll never be a mature Christian until you understand that God remembers his promises and forgets your sins.

You will fear something or someone. The Bible says the wisest way to go about your life is to fear God.

You will not find what you want in the world, only in the Father.

The reason for your entire salvation, the design behind your deliverance, the purpose for which God chose you in the first place is holiness.
