I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lords. 2Tim1:12.Rom8:38,39.Rom14:8

But woe be to me if I refuse the light. ..-Chambers, My Utmost.John3:19 And the judgment is based on this fact: Gods light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil.

Gideon had just come back from a decisive victory over the Midianites. Instead of running through the logical reasons why he had not chosen them to fight, Gideon made them feel important and appealed to their hearts.

A more effective approach is to get the facts straight and then look for a way to deliver them that appeals to the heart. How do you make people feel?...Seybert, LeadersJudges8:2-3 Gideon replied What have I accomplished compared to you? . . . When the men of Ephraim heard Gideons answer, their anger subsided

#0000957

It is the process not the end, which is glorifying to God. What we call the process, God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and on His power now, not presently. If we can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. Gods end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present: if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious-Chambers, My utmost..Mark6:45-52 Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him. . .
