Believe That God Has Heard You.

If Jesus Gives Us A Task Or Assigns Us To A Difficult Season, Every Ounce Of Our Experience Is Meant For Our Instruction And Completion If Only We'll Let Him Finish The Work. I Fear, However, That We Are So Attention-deficit That We Settle For Bearable When Beauty Is Just Around The Corner.

If We Belong To Christ, Satan Has No Right To Exercise Authority Over Us, But He Hopes We're Too Ignorant Regarding Scripture To Know It.

I Don't Know A Single Person Who Truly Seems To Bear The Mark Of God's Presence And Power In His Or Her Life Who Hasn't Been Asked By God To Be Obedient In A Way That Was Dramatically Painful.

When The Stakes Are High, Bow Down Low.

The Next Time You Feel Rejection's Sting, Remember God's Words To Samuel: "it Is Not You They Have Rejected, But They Have Rejected Me." (1 Sam. 8:7)
