Never Give In

“This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” ~ Winston Churchill

Affairs of the Heart

'People may be right in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their heart.' Proverbs 21:2

People can find an excuse for doing almost anything, but God looks behind the excuses to the motives of the heart. We often have to make choices in areas where the right action is difficult to discern. We can help ourselves make such decisions by trying to identify our motives first and then asking, "Would God be pleased with my real reasons for doing this?" God is not pleased when we do good deeds only to receive something in return.

My Big Mighty Strange God

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” - Isaiah 55:8-9

Only a special being can endure the relationship with human beings and still remain faithful. Jehovah has unfathomable understanding and extraordinary sensibilities, most of all though is his undying love. In His seemingly strange ways He always means the very best for you.  Start Today to follow His ways outlined in the exemplary life of Jesus. 

”I have felt His hand upon me in great trials and submitted to His guidance, and I trust that as He shall further open the way, I will be ready to walk therein, relying on His help and trusting in His goodness and wisdom.” - Abraham Lincoln
