God doesn't always change the circumstances, but He can change us to meet the circumstances. That's what it means to live by faith.

The bumps are what you climb on.

Worship is the believer's response of all that they are - mind, emotions, will, body - to what God is and says and does.

A prophet weeps while others are laughing.

We must never mistake the process for the result...there is suffering; but this is only the process. God isn't going to stop with the process; He wants to produce the final result. Suffering leads to glory; shame leads to honor; weakness leads to power. This is God's way of doing things.

After all, a crisis doesn't make a person; it reveals what a person is made of.

The devil tempts us to bring out the worst in us, but the Father tests us to bring out the best in us.
