The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life; it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.

To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in?
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.
