We count on God’s mercy for our past mistakes; we count on God’s love for our present needs; but we count on God’s sovereignty for the future.

The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, “O God, forgive me,” or “Help me.”
From Joshua 1:9: “I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

A disciple is a follower of Christ. That means you take on His priorities as your own. His agenda becomes your agenda. His mission becomes your mission.
From John 12:25-26: “Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves Me must follow Me, and where I am, there will My servant be also. Whoever serves Me, the Father will honor.”

From Psalm 94:19: “When doubts filled my mind, Your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.”

Nothing sets a person so much out of the devil’s reach as humility.
From Philippians 2:3: “Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves.”

There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.
