proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
James I (J. I.) Packer
Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty... acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours.
Seth Dahl
Solomon began his personal walk with God by asking for wisdom, but in the end, did not walk in it. In other words, wisdom is not meant to be a one-time request.

When facing life's troubles, Paul lists three instructions: 1) Be joyful in hope. 2) Be patient in affliction. 3) Be faithful in prayer. While counter-intuitive to the natural man, this reaction is natural for the believer. It comes by the incredible privilege of having a daily relationship with Christ. No matter what we are facing, when He is our treasure, we find the grace that is needed bubbling up in our souls. Instead of passive hopelessness, we find ourselves active and secured by an enduring, steadfast, unshakeable, supernatural, blood-bought strength. Instead of retreating, we're able to pray and release God's love, power, and answers for ourselves and for those around us.

Jesus Christ - the one with blazing eyes of fire, the one with many crowns, the one whose robe is dipped in blood and whose title is Word of God and "Faithful and True" is the only One we crown.

This year, let us ask God to dissolve all our hopes into a single hope: to know Christ and to be found in Him. May this be a year of desire radically transformed, a deeper, truer, knowing of Christ as our All-Sufficient One.

At this very moment, as you read these words, all things are being made new. How you choose to be a steward of this moment is up to you. Never take this precious gift of newness for granted. Choose to cherish the potential of 'all things new', through the power that His resurrection gives you. Relationships strained, mistakes made, sins you commit, bring them to the cross. Treasure the gift of newness he grants you every day.

‘Created’ is the first verb in the Bible, and the primary thing we know about God is that he creates. To be made in God’s image is therefore to be creative. To be filled with his Spirit is to overflow with his imagination and celebration. To be a Christian is to live positively and not destructively, to make ugly things beautiful, and to make chaos meaningful.
Howard Hendricks
Discouragement is the anesthetic the devil uses on a person just before he reaches in and carves out his heart.

Think about what you are thinking about today. Our thoughts are like a train, they always take us somewhere. Don’t just jump on board the first train that pulls into the platform of your mind. Check the destination board first. Where will this thought take you?
