It is not a lack of spiritual experience that leads to failure, but a lack of working to keep our eyes focused and on the right goal. At least once a week examine yourself before God to see if your life is measuring up to the standard He has for you. Paul was like a musician who gives no thought to audience approval, if he can only catch a look of approval from his Conductor.

God's "nothings" are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.

The love of God is not created- it is His nature.

There comes the baffling call of God in our lives also. The call of God can never be stated explicitly; it is implicit. The call of God is like the call of the sea, no one hears it but the one who has the nature of the sea in him. It cannot be stated definitely what the call of God is to, because his call is to be in comradeship with himself, for his own purposes, and the test is to believe that God knows what he is after.

Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.

One life totally devoted to God is of more value to Him than one hundred lives which have been simply awakened by His Spirit.

If I obey Jesus Christ in the seemingly random circumstances of life, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God.
