“Our movement was a great success; I think the most successful military movement of my life. But I expect to receive more credit for it than I deserve. Most men will think I planned it all from the first; but it was not so. I simply took advantage of circumstances as they were presented to me in the providence of God. I feel that His hand led me - let us give Him the glory.” ThinkingMenGivingFeelsFirstsWarHandsSuccessfulMilitaryMovementCircumstancesGloryDeserveAdvantageCreditCivil WarProvidenceGreat Success Author:Stonewall Jackson

“The Bible is full of God's promises to provide for us spiritually and materially, to never forsake us, to give us peace in times of difficult circumstances, to cause all circumstances to work together for our good, and finally to bring us safely home to glory. Not one of those promises is dependent upon our performance. They are all dependent on the grace of God given to us through Jesus Christ.” GivingHomeTogetherJesusGivenCausesDifficultChristGraceCircumstancesPromiseGloryJesus ChristPerformancesDependentWorking TogetherGrace Of GodForsakeDifficult Circumstances Author:Jerry Bridges
“The Scripture says, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it" [Psalm 118:24].Glory days are days that can happen right now. The key is understanding some basic principles that don't just apply to any one season of life but transcend all seasons of life - not allowing our circumstances to define our outlook on life, but allowing what God's Word says about life to define that outlook.” MadeHappensUnderstandingLordPrinciplesKeysCircumstancesRight NowGlorySeasonsScriptureGladAllowingRejoiceOutlookPsalmsBasic PrinciplesSeasons Of LifeOutlook On LifeGlory Days Author:Max Lucado

“The gospel of Jesus Christ has the divine power to lift you to great heights from what appears at times to be an unbearable burden or weakness. The Lord knows your circumstances and your challenges. He said to Paul and to all of us, 'My grace is sufficient for thee.' And like Paul we can answer: 'My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me'(2 Corinthinans 12:9)".” KnowsMayMadeSaidJesusChristChallengesAnswersPerfectLordGraceDivineCircumstancesGloryWeaknessJesus ChristBurdenTheeLiftsHeightSufficientUnbearableInfirmityDivine PowerGreat Heights Author:Dieter F.

“...to the glory of His name let me witness that in far away lands, in loneliness (deepest sometimes when it seems least so), in times of downheartedness and tiredness and sadness, always always He is near.
