You can drift into sin, but not into righteousness.
From Romans 5:18: “Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all.”

You can drift into sin, but not into righteousness.
From Romans 5:18: “Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all.”

I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
From John 14:1: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me.”

Our trials are not superficial or irrelevant. They are vehicles of grace that God uses to bring us growth.
From Jeremiah 33:3: “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”

Humor is a social lubricant that helps us get over some of the bad spots.
One of the nice things about problems is that a good many do not exist except in our imaginations.

Joy is the great note all throughout the Bible.
From Romans 15:11: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him.”

Struggling with God over the issues of life doesn’t show a lack of faith–it is faith.
From Matthew 8:24-26: “A windstorm arose on the sea, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but He [Jesus] was asleep. And they went and woke Him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ And He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith?’ Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a dead calm.”

The bold enterprises are the successful ones. Take counsel of hopes rather than of fears.
Few men in our history have ever obtained the Presidency by planning to obtain it.

In the middle of all the uncertainty that surrounds us, it is difficult for us to think of a better thing to do than to pray.
From 2 Chronicles 20:9: “If disaster comes upon us, the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this house, and before you, for your name is in this house, and cry to you in our distress, and you will hear and save.”

We are either the masters or the victims of our attitudes. It is a matter of personal choice. Who we are today is the result of choices we made yesterday. Tomorrow, we will become what we choose today.
From James 3:17-18: “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.”

Seeing that a Pilot steers the ship in which we sail, who will never allow us to perish even in the midst of shipwrecks, there is no reason why our minds should be overwhelmed with fear and overcome with weariness.
From Psalm 55:22: “Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
