God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.

Elisabeth Elliot

Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.

Complain Gratitude Habit Life Possible Satisfaction Thankful
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived – not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.

Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.

The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.
