Two wings are necessary to lift our souls toward God: prayer and praise. Prayer asks. Praise accepts the answer.
We are safer with Him in the dark than without Him in the sunshine.

Be assiduous [diligent] in reading the Holy Scriptures. This is the fountain whence all knowledge in divinity must be derived. Therefore, let not this treasure lie by you neglected.
From Matthew 4:4: “But He [Jesus] answered, ‘It is written, One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'”

You can’t light another’s path without casting light on your own.
From John 12:36: “(Jesus is speaking) While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.”

Jesus did not come to explain away suffering or remove it. He came to fill it with His presence.
Speak about Christ only when you are asked. But live so that people ask about Christ!
Behold Our Creator

From John 1.1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Before earth ever existed, God was here
There is only one God, He has no peers
Out of nothing— absolute darkness, vacant, and cold
God reaches out with His Word, astounding and bold
Remaining distinct from His eternal creation
God’s handiwork brings proud, lasting elation
God constructs with a purpose, the Heavens declare
His glory reveals absolute knowledge, nothing spared
Our sovereign, Holy God creates it all
Later, man will take a backwards fall
Creation arrives through God’s Holy prose
“Let there be”—He continues to propose
The Holy Trinity, God declares as Three in One
Faithful spirit sits beside God’s redeeming Son
Designing visible and invisible, God reigns here
The heavens and earth watch as God stays near
Working for six days, all appears good, very good
God feels proud of what He’s done, and He should
Following His purpose, His knowledge leads the way
The Glory of God creates with a Holy plan each day
God stands as author, at the center of reality
Without God, chaotic darkness makes a place
God’s people enjoy a bursting, creative taste
Worshipping God’s creation for all of eternity
From pastor John Piper: “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.”

Horizontal relationships–relationships between people–are crippled at the outset unless the vertical relationship–the relationship between each person and God–is in place.
From 1 Thessalonians 4:9: “Now concerning love of the brothers and sisters, you do not need to have anyone write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.”

We cannot experience the fullness of Christ if we do all the expressing. We must allow God to express His love, will, and truth to us.
From Isaiah 41:1: “Listen to me in silence, O coastlands; let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak; let us together draw near for judgment.”

Our Lord is the Bread of Life. His proportions are perfect. There never was too much or two little of anything about Him. Feed on Him for a well-balanced ration. All the vitamins and calories are there.
From John 6:35: “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

The Lord is our God. He does bow to our hurried pace, but in silence He waits for us to meet His demands.
From Psalm 113:3: “From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised.”
