Unless we can touch and feel God in the commonplaces, He is going to be a very infrequent and unfamiliar guest.  For life is made up of very ordinary experiences.  Now and again a novelty leaps into the way, but the customary tenor is seldom broken.  The ordinary stars shine upon us night after night; only occasionally does a comet come our way.  Look at some of the daily commonplaces: health, sleep, bread and butter, work, friendship, a few flowers by the wayside, the laughter of children, the ministry of song, the bright day, the cool night.  If I do not perceive God in these things, I have a very unhallowed and insignificant world.

John Henry Jowett

“I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and have been saved from my enemies.”

2 Samuel 22:4
The New International Version

God always answers our prayer.  Either he changes the circumstances, or he supplies sufficient power to overcome them.

God’s love never ceases.  Never.  Our faith does not earn it anymore than our stupidity jeopardizes it.  God doesn’t love us less if we fail or more if we succeed.  God’s love never ceases.

Max Lucado

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.

Psalm 34:10
The King James Version

We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss a chance to see a rainbow on the way.

Christ’s work of making new men…is not mere improvement, but transformation.

C. S. Lewis

The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

Romans 8:16-17
The English Standard Version

Be united with other Christians.  A wall with loose bricks is not good.  The bricks must be cemented together.

The grace of God is infinite and eternal.  As it had no beginning, so it can have no end, and being an attribute of God, it is as boundless as infinitude.

A. W. Tozer

When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”  And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him.  And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”  They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”  Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”  And their eyes were opened.  And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”

Matthew 9:27-30
The New King James Version

Stewardship is the ordering of one’s life so that time, ability, possessions, and all of one’s personality are administered as belonging to God.

Those who have failed miserably are often the first to see God’s formula for success.

Erwin W. Lutzer

Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

Job 10:12
The King James Version

THE VOICE

The silent beauty of the stars,
The cold blue magic of the sea,
The glistening dewdrops on a lawn,
Become the voice
Of God to me.

The murmuring waves upon the beach,
The stately silhouetted tree,
The captive loveliness of dawn,
Become the voice
Of God to me.

Sight is not faith, and hearing is not faith, neither is feeling faith; but believing when we neither see, hear, nor feel is faith; and everywhere the Bible tells us our salvation is to be by faith.  Therefore we must believe before we feel, and often against our feelings, if we would honor God by our faith.

Hannah Whitall Smith

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

John 13:14-15
The Revised Standard Version

The Bible is the second best gift God has ever given us.

Our business is to present the Christian faith clothed in modern terms, not to propagate modern thought clothed in Christian terms…Confusion here is fatal.

J. I. Packer

Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.  I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.”  And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

Psalm 32:5
The New International Version

Our heart oft times wakes when we sleep, and God can speak to that, either by words, by proverbs, by signs and similitudes, as well as if one was awake.

Each of us will one day be judged by our standard of life, not by our standard of living; by our measure of giving, not by our measure of wealth; by our simple goodness, not by our seeming greatness.

William Arthur Ward

Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears my word and believes him who sent me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

John 5:24
The Revised Standard Version

While I was visiting a friend, her three-year-old daughter was frequently interrupting her housework by insisting that her mother “come outside and see.”  She would then excitedly show her mother a flower, a butterfly, a broken bird’s egg, or a crawling ant.  After the umpteenth interruption, I commented, “You’re awfully patient with her, but all these little trips must nearly wreck your daily routine.  Don’t you ever just want to scream?”  “Well,” the mother replied cheerfully, “I brought her into the world.  The least I can do is let her show it to me.”

Prayer helps to form the “steel of spirituality” within the soul.
Prayer imparts a peace within “as high as the mountain, as deep as the sea”—creating a Christlike serenity of soul.
Prayer generates courage within, and I stand erect, taller of soul, in converse with God, listening to the whisperings of His will, and learn the great lesson of life, that this world is merely a place to grow souls in, and that this life is only the introduction to life eternal.
Prayer and faith, inseparable companions, plant a garden in the soul, and in this wondrous garden roses bloom not only in December but all the year round.
Prayer is the time-exposure of the soul to the highest that we know.
Prayer sinks a shaft deep into our lives where the real and lasting values of life abide.
Prayer lights a candle in the soul, by whose radiant light we discover the God-shaped space in our heart, reserved for Him in our creation.
Prayer is a battlefield on which the issues of life are determined.
Prayer takes away dimness from the soul and clarifies our vision.
Prayer is a spiritual gymnasium in which we exercise and practice for godliness.
Prayer is essential to a full-flowing of the spiritual life.  The soul deprived of the experience and inspirations of prayer is like a plant that comes to the point of blossoming but never blooms.
Prayer is being “in the secret place with Jesus”—a place of spiritual retreat and of soul-refreshment.
Prayer imparts what we may call a tang to spiritual life.  We are admonished to be the salt of the earth, and prayer furnishes the salt.
Prayer is a trellis, supporting the vines and flowers of the spirit as they climb heavenward, considering of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, faith, meekness, temperance.
Prayer helps us in building a “Cathedral of Character” in the soul, building it of things spiritual, which have survival value, and which we can carry into the eternal life with us.
Prayer is a cleansing process, waking our thoughts, feelings, motives, and will, purifying the entire being including the heart, thus enabling us to see God, for without purity no one can see God.
Prayer is the greatest spiritual asset in the world.

V. L. Crawford

Seek the Lord while you can find him.  Call on him now while he is near.  Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong.  Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.  Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

Isaiah 55:6-7
The New Living Translation

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shapes of pains, losses, and disappointments; but let us have patience, and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.

The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.

Vance Havner

“O death, where is your victory?  O death, where is your sting?”  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:55-57
The English Standard Version

Words can be icicles, chilling to hear
Or coarse, stinging nettles, drawing a tear.
Words can be rose thorns, to give you a start,
Or swiftly flung daggers that plunge to the heart.
Ghosts of some sorrow that should be long past,
Dragons of anger, that resist to the last,
Locks on a door, without any key—
These are the sad things words can be.

But words can be droplets of freshening rain,
Or invisible fingers to brush away pain.
Words can form shelters for someone afraid,
Or trumpets of hope or a soldier’s swift blade.
Medals of honor for bravery done,
Kisses of thanks as warm as the sun,
Doors that were shut, swinging open and free—
These are the glad things words can be.
