“Voices of the glorified urge us onward. They who have passed from the semblances of time to the realities of eternity call upon us to advance. The rest that awaits us invites us forward. We do not pine for our rest before God wills it. We long for no inglorious rest. We are thankful rather for the invaluable training of difficulty, the loving discipline of danger and strife. Yet in the midst of it all the prospect of rest invites us heavenward. Through all, and above all, God cries, "Go forward!" "Come up higher!” LongRealitySpiritualityVoiceCryDangerHigherDisciplineTrainingEternityDifficultyCome UpGods WillUrgesMidstInvitesStrifeInvaluableSemblance Author:William James
“Through the years, I have discovered some essential principles in discerning God's will: First, by God's grace, we must be firmly committed to seeking first the Kingdom of God and His glory. Secondly, we must establish a life discipline of renewing our minds in the Word of God. Thirdly, we must seek godly counsel from mature believers. Fourthly, we must watch for signs of God's providence opening doors and closing them. Finally, we should consider the desires of our heart.” ShouldYearsMindFirstsHeartDesirePrinciplesWatchesGraceDoorsDisciplineEssentialsGloryCommittedSeekingBelieverGods WillKingdomsOpeningMatureWord Of GodProvidenceGodlyClosingKingdom Of GodGod's GraceThrough The YearsDiscerningOpening Doors Author:Paul Washer
“At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God's hand until we learn to hear Him...Watch where God puts you into darkness, and when you are there keep your mouth shut. Are you in the dark just now in your circumstances, or in your life with God? Then remain quiet...When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message for someone else when you get into the light.” GivingHandsLightSongDarkWatchesTeachDarknessTaughtDisciplineCircumstancesQuietMessagesBirdMouthsShadowGods WillHeed Author:Oswald Chambers
“God will never disappoint us… If deep in our hearts we suspect that God does not love us and cannot manage our affairs as well as we can, we certainly will not submit to His discipline. …To the unbeliever the fact of suffering only convinces him that God is not to be trusted, does not love us. To the believer, the opposite is true.” IfsWellsHeartDoeFactsSufferingDisciplineOppositesAffairBelieverGods WillManageConvinceSuspectsSubmitTrustedDisappointUnbelievers Author:Elisabeth Elliot
