The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God ... Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it.

It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.

One of the greatest snares is the number of good things we might do. Jesus Christ never did the good things He might have done, He did everything He ought to do because He had His eye fixed on His Father's will and He sacrificed Himself for His Father.

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

Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.

Tell God you are ready to be offered, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.

We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.
