Obedience is the daily practice of trusting God.

The more we really believe the truths God calls us to believe, the more we will take chances with God.

Look for Me. Long for Me. Experience unbroken companionship with Me.

Just that morning I'd been praying and asking God to show Himself to me. I asked the God of the universe to intersect my life with His revelation, then got up from my prayers and forgot to look. Forgot to seek Him. Forgot to keep my heart in tune with His voice and His invitation. All because of the chaotic rush of my day.

God seems far away and French fries are right around the corner at the drive-thru.

It takes courage to seek God, and courage to wait for His reply.

Oswald Chambers, a man who wrote profoundly and elegantly on prayer, made a radical statement when he said, "The idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God." Good heavens—it's not? What then is the purpose? "Prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God." A mighty truth is being uncovered here.

Whatever isn't born out of deep confidence in God is sin. That includes our personality and our approach to life.

That's exactly what we do to find more of God—we practice belief. We exercise it.

Fuzzy and unspecific prayers see fuzzy and unspecific results.

God seems to be of the opinion that no one should sustain the rigors of the Christian life without very robust and concrete hopes of brazen reward.

The amount of risk you're willing to take in your life is a direct reflection of what you believe about God.
