A Worthy Quote

Your sense of failure  may be the catalyst
God wants to use to bring you to a new
understanding of the meaning of the Christian life.

We all need retreats in our lives, not only because of the overwhelming nature of life, but because of our dependence on the resources of the Master. In our fast-paced days, it is essential to find a place of solitude, “a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God.” Where’s yours?

Jesus is the end product of evangelism---His Life indwelling you is exactly what God had in mind when He sent His Son to redeem you and to reconcile you to a holy God. He sent us His Son not just to get you and me out of hell and into heaven, but to get the God of heaven into you and me, so that Christ living in our hearts might be our hope of bringing God again out into the open where He can be seen, to His glory! Galatians 2:20

There are many things that can trouble our lives, but none that can shake us loose from the grip of God's grace if our hearts remain pointed at Jesus as our Lord and our hope remains focused on the Lord's return. If Jesus is our Lord and Life, then all of life's greatest blessings lie ahead of us and he will let nothing rob us of this coming glory!

Hold the world at bay. Live in many moments of rest. May the peace of God go before you, leading you into each day. For whenever we look up into the face of our Father, whenever we quiet our spirit to hear His voice, we have found divine peace this crazy world can never take away.

Lord Jesus, my indwelling Savior,
please express Your life in and through me.
May there be no area of my life
 that is just me doing my best or me fulfilling my will.
 Also, Lord, be my strength,
 enabling me to share these great realities with others,
 in Your mighty name, Amen

Dear Lord Jesus, You came to give us life abundant. Please fill my life to overflowing with the empowering work of Your Spirit. Lord, I am not seeking personal benefits. I am asking to become a more effective witness. I need the Holy Spirit's power that I might reflect the reality of the risen Christ, in Your mighty name, Amen.

Dear faithful Lord, I long to live by faith more and more as each day dawns. I see that this is the only way I can access Your glorious grace. Lord, I need Your grace constantly. No other resource will suffice. Too often I am striving by my best performance. What weariness and failure always results. Show me the areas of my life where I am not trusting in You, that I might look to You anew. In Your gracious name I pray, Amen.

"There are many dangerous trends pulling folks away
 from true Bible Christianity.
 Many of the newer philosophies of
 ministry employ methods that are wholly carnal.
 Some have adopted objectives that have not
 one line of Scripture to support them,
 and some employ conduct that differs little from the world. "

----Tozer

If you are a Christian,
you are not a citizen of this
 world trying to get to heaven;
 you are a citizen of heaven making
your way through this world.
 
- Vance Havner

We have so much to be thankful for every day.
God has given us reconciliation,
we now have a new life, His life,
and He will continually  provide for all our needs.
So let’s make Thanksgiving a  year-long celebration.

O Holy Father, I humbly admit that I have frequently been so foolish as to think that I could produce more godliness in me through my own best efforts. Lord, I see that I need Your Spirit as much for spiritual growth as I did previously for spiritual birth. As I seek You through prayer and Your word, please take me on with You in growth and sanctification by the work of Your Holy Spirit, through Christ, I pray, Amen.

The sooner we get over the illusion that
more stuff means more peace,
happiness, and self-fulfillment,
the better off we will be.
And then the more able we will be to find
the longed-for peace and happiness—the
true “good life”—that only Jesus can provide.

Lord help us this day to take the time to thank you and to appreciate what you mean to us and all that you do for us each moment of the day. With your hand you have made us a new creation in Christ, with your blood you have cleansed us. Thank you for leading us, protecting us and abiding in us.  Oh how precious it is to know you and have fellowship with you today. Yes, once again, I lift my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. You are my God and there is none other.

Amen

Dear God of faithfulness, how delightful to realize that my persistence of faith in You hinges on Your faithfulness toward me. I see that I can continue to depend upon You, because you are fully faithful to me. What expectation this gives me as I consider Your great promises! You will be faithful to fulfill every one of them, as I place my trust in You!  AMEN
