Worry ends when faith begins.

From 1 Peter 5:6-7:  “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”

Charles Swindoll Quote

Discouraged people don’t need critics.  They hurt enough already.  They need encouragement.  They need a refuge–a willing, caring, available someone.

From Proverbs 25:11:  “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver.”

A scheduled morning time with God brings His peace into one’s presence.  He quiets the noise and welcomes each visit.

Always at Work

From Job 12:13:  “With God are wisdom and strength; He has counsel and understanding.”

Creator’s morning scene

Always at work, His hands

Shaping, each masterpiece

All following, God’s command

 

Tranquility breathing

Always at work, God’s plan

Designing, each journey

All inviting, with each scan

 

God’s wisdom shadows truth

Always at work, strength speaks

Teaching, with every breath

All scaling, each mountain peak

 

Tomorrow’s story waits

Always at work, God’s script

Sketching, every new page

All leading, faith’s fresh transcript

 

Creator’s morning scene

Always at work, His light

Witnessing, darkness fades

All praising, Savior’s birthright

From the words of American pastor and Christian author, Charles Swindoll:  “Mark it down in permanent ink:  God is always at work.”

Stanley Grenz Quote

Sovereignty means that ultimately God alone has the right to declare what creation should be.

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.”

Stanley Grenz (1950-2005) was an American theologian and Christian writer.
