God's greatest blessings often come costumed as disasters. Any doubters need to do nothing more than ascend the hill of Calvary.

After a hard day scrambling to find your way around in the world, it's assuring to come home to a place you know. God can be equally familiar to you. With time you can learn where to go for nourishment, where to hide for protection , where to turn for guidance. Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God's house is a place of peace.

It's okay to rest. Jesus fights when you cannot.

How we handle our tough times stays with us for a long time.

Anger is the noise of the soul; the unseen irritant of the heart; the relentless invader of silence.

The greater your cares, the more genuine your prayers

The Scripture says, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" [Psalm 118:24].Glory days are days that can happen right now. The key is understanding some basic principles that don't just apply to any one season of life but transcend all seasons of life - not allowing our circumstances to define our outlook on life, but allowing what God's Word says about life to define that outlook.
