God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance.

The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould

To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.

Are you debating whether you should take a step of faith in Jesus, or whether you should wait until you can clearly see how to do what He has asked? Simply obey Him with unrestrained joy. When He tells you something and you begin to debate, it is because you have a misunderstanding of what honors Him and what doesn't. Are you faithful to Jesus, or faithful to your ideas about Him?

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.
