The closer we are to the Shepherd, the safer we are from the wolves.
From Isaiah 43:2-3: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened.

There is nothing more important to a democracy than an active and engaged press.

There is nothing more important in any life than the constantly enjoyed presence of the Lord. For without it we shall make mistakes, and without it we shall be defeated.
From Psalm 139:7-10: “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.

Horace Mann (1796-1859) was committed to educational reform in the United States. One of his most passionate causes was for the establishment of universal public education for America’s children.

God gives you peace before you go to pieces.
From 2 Corinthians 13:11: “Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”

To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust Him in the dark–that is faith.
From Romans 13:12: “The night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.”

Our part. Trust God wholeheartedly, in every corner of life, recognizing that He is the One in charge.
From Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.”
