Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Circumstances and situations do color life but you have been given the mind to choose what the color shall be.
--John Homer Miller

The joy of the Lord is the strength for life's trials,
And lifts the crushed heart above sorrow and care.
Like the nightingale's notes, it can sing in the darkness,
And rejoice when the fig tree is fruitless and bare.
--A. B. Simpson

The person who looks for quick results in the seed planting of well-doing will be disappointed. If I want potatoes for dinner tomorrow, it will do me little good to plant them in my garden tonight. There are long stretches of darkness and invisibility and silence that separate planting and reaping.

When we hear any promise in the Word of God, let us turn it into a prayer. God's promises are his bond. He loves it when we wrestle with him by his promises.

I cannot flee His presence. Go where I will, he leads me, and watches me, and cares for me. The same Being who is now at work in the remotest domains of nature and of providence is also at my hand to make more full every moment of my being.

God has a course mapped out for your life, and all the inadequacies in the world will not change His mind. He will be with you every step of the way. And though it may take time, He has a celebration planned for when you cross over the "Red Seas" of your life.
--Charles Stanley

--Rosalind Rinker

Often, in the midst of great problems, we stop short of the real blessing
God has for us, which is a fresh vision of who He is.
