Every compliment that graces our ears should ultimately rebound to our Heavenly Father.
From Proverbs 27:21: “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.”

We realize that the Lord is our strength and shield. Our hearts can fully trust Him.
From Psalm 28:7: “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.”

Are you carrying a heavy load? God wants to hold it–and you–in His hand.
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.”
William Law Quote
Receive every day as a resurrection from death, as a new enjoyment of life, meet every rising sun with such sentiments of God’s goodness, as if you had seen it, and all things new–created upon your account.
From Ezekiel 36:24-27: “I will take you from the nations, and gather you from all the countries, and bring you into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances.”

When we have something to share, we naturally want undivided attention. Guess what–God is the same way. He speaks with a purpose and expects our complete focus and attention.
From 1 Samuel 3:8-10: “The Lord called Samuel again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am, for you called me.’ Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, ‘Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place. Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ And Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.'”
William Tyndale Quote
Let every man of whatsoever craft or occupation he be of . . . serve his brethren.
From Joshua 24:14-15: “Now therefore revere the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods that your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Instead of seeing our difficulties as loss, we need to view them as a means God uses to build endurance.
From James 1:2-4: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.”
D. L. Moody Quote
A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all we have to do is to enter into it.
From John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
His Great Love
From Deuteronomy 8:3: “He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”
Life’s darkening journey
Never exempt from pain
Evil always prowling
Adversity’s campaign
Seeking life’s foundation
Holy Word, God alone
Heavenly love provides
Troubles no longer groan
Praise our Great Comforter
Treasures open, His love
Understanding God’s law
Commandments from above
Freed from harsh wilderness
Rejoice with faithful trust
Delighting in God’s love
Filled with hope, life adjusts
Depend upon the Lord
Manna nourishing needs
Trials teach bold lessons
His great love always leads
From Romans 8:28: “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.”
Oswald Chambers Quote
The Cross is the point where God and sinful man merge with a crash and the way of life is opened–but the crash is on the heart of God.
From 1 Peter 2:24: “He himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.”
