God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there.  There is no such thing.

From Psalm 23:5-6:  “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

A schedule defends from chaos and whim.  It is a net for catching days.  It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.

Spend the afternoon.  You can’t take it with you.

James Dobson Quote

Prescription for a happier and healthier life:  resolve to slow down your pace; learn to say no gracefully; resist the temptation to chase after more pleasure, more hobbies, and more social entanglements.

From Psalm 62:1-2:  “For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation.  He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall never be shaken.”

God would love to piece together the shattered fragments of your life.  But He is waiting . . . graciously waiting until the time is right.  Until you recognize your need for Him . . . He’s waiting.

From Proverbs 15:23:  “To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone, and a word in season, how good it is!”

Matthew Henry Quote

It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship Him.

From John 4:23-24:  “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him.  God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

Billy Graham Quote

Think of the blessings we so easily take for granted:  Life itself; preservation from danger; every bit of healthy we enjoy; every hour of liberty; the ability to see, to hear, to speak, to think, and to imagine all this comes from the hand of God.

From 2 Corinthians 9:7:  “Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Comfort and peace never come from anything we know about ourselves, but only and always from what we know about Him.

From Isaiah 40:8:  “The grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever.”

You have to learn to go out of convictions, out of creeds, out of experiences, until, so far as your faith is concerned, there is nothing between yourself and God.

From Hebrews 11:8-9:  “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance; and he set out, not knowing where he was going.  By faith he stayed for a time in the land he had been promised, as in a foreign land, living in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
