It is sometimes easier to trust God in a life-threatening battle than in the small challenges of daily life.

While catastrophes do enter the lives of godly people, they attach themselves far more to people who reject Him.

God delights to see His people rejoice in what He has provided.

Our lives will last as long as God has something for us to do.

Although God's people find many successes in the world, they must not fall prey to a spirit of pride. We succeed not because of our moral superiority but because of the faithfulness of our divine intercessor and because of the great mercy of God.

Since all wealth ultimately comes from God, His people ought to acknowledge His primacy by offering Him the best of their wealth, time, and abilities.

Chastening is a mark of affection, not a sign of rejection.
