From Our Limited Vantage Point, Our Lives Are Marked By An Endless Series Of Contingencies. We Frequently Find Ourselves, Instead Of Acting As We Planned, Reacting To An Unexpected Turn Of Events. We Make Plans But Are Often Forced To Change Those Plans. But There Are No Contingencies With God. Our Unexpected, Forced Change Of Plans Is A Part Of His Plan. God Is Never Surprised; Never Caught Off Guard; Never Frustrated By Unexpected Developments. God Does As He Pleases And That Which Pleases Him Is Always For His Glory And Our Good.

Our Worst Days Are Never So Bad That You Are Beyond The Reach Of God's Grace. And Your Best Days Are Never So Good That You Are Beyond The Need Of God's Grace.

Modern Christians, Especially Those In The Western World, Have Generally Been Found Wanting In The Area Of Holiness Of Body. Gluttony And Laziness, For Example, Were Regarded By Earlier Christians As Sin. Today We May Look On These As Weaknesses Of The Will But Certainly Not Sin. We Even Joke About Our Overeating And Other Indulgences Instead Of Crying Out To God In Confession And Repentance.

Every Day Is Important For Us Because It Is A Day Ordained By God.

Trials Always Change Our Relationship With God. Either They Drive Us To Him, Or They Drive Us Away From Him. The Extent Of Our Fear Of Him And Our Awareness Of His Love For Us Determine In Which Direction We Will Move.
