We have no right to decide where we should be placed, or to have preconceived ideas as to what God is preparing us to do. God engineers everything; and wherever He places us, our one supreme goal should be to pour out our lives in wholehearted devotion to Him in that particular work. "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might . . ." (Ecclesiastes 9:10).

when we have the right relationship with God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy.

When we choose deliberately to obey Him, then, with all His almighty power, He will tax the remotest star and the last grain of sand to assist us.

We must continually maintain an adventurous attitude toward Him, despite any potential personal risk.

Just because I have listened carefully and intently to one thing from God does not mean that I will listen to everything He says.

Why doesn't God reveal Himself to you? He cannot. It is not that He will not, but He cannot, because you are in the way as long as you won't abandon yourself to Him in total surrender.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on our difficulties

Wait for the fruit to manifest itself and do not be guided by your own fancy.

Have you been bolstering up that stupid soul of yours with the idea that your circumstances are too much for God? Put all "supposing" on one side and dwell in the shadow of the Almighty. Deliberately tell God that you will not fret about that thing. All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.

Faith, however, is not intellectual understanding; faith is a deliberate commitment to the Person of Jesus Christ, even when I can't see the way ahead.

These three things always work together— moral intelligence, the spontaneous originality of the Holy Spirit, and the setting of a life lived in communion with God.

When God gives you a vision and darkness follows, wait. God will bring the vision He has given you to reality in your life if you will wait on His timing. Never try to help God fulfill His word.
