You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes..."

"When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.- Thou art my hiding place; Thou shalt preserve me from trouble.- Thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall."...-Psa6l2.-Psa32:7.- Isa25:4...

#0001665

In The Art Of Peace we never attack. An attack is proof that one is out of control. Never run away from any kind of challenge, but do not try to suppress or control an opponent unnaturally. Let attackers come any way they like and then blend with them. Never chase after opponents. Redirect each attack and get firmly behind it...- Morihei Ueshiba, The Art Of Peace Isa26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee."

#0001666

There are times when seemingly insignificant events radically change your life. How do you view those hinges in your life--chance happenings, or the unseen hand of God directing your path? If you believe God is sovereign, then you see His hand instead of luck or coincidence...-Sala, Refuge And StrengthDan6:26-27 "He is the living God . . . He rescues and He saves; He performs signs and wonders in the heavens and on the earth."

#0001667

"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.- Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.- My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation: He is my defence; I shall not be moved."...-Jerl7:7.-Isa26:3,4.-Psa62:5,6...

#0001668

"If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part He is evil spoken of, but on your part He is glorified.- Let us go forth unto Him outside he camp, bearing His reproach. For here we do not have an enduring city; instead, we seek the one to come. Therefore, through Him let us continually offer up to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of our lips that confess His Name."...-IPet4:14.-Hebl3:13-15

#0001669

Quite often we fail to receive the blessing He has ready for us because we are not moving forward with Him. While it is true we miss many blessings by not waiting for God, we also lose numerous blessings by overwaiting. There are times when it takes strength simply to sit still, but there are also times when we are to move forward with a confident step...-Cowman-Reimann, Streams In The Desert……….Deut2:31 "I have begun to deliver. . . Now begin to conquer and possess."

#0001670

We are destined to fight certain battles, and we think we can never be victorious and conquer our enemies. Yet as we enter the conflict, One comes who fights by our side. If we had waited in fear and trembling for our Helper to come before we would enter the battle, we would have waited in vain. This would have been the overwaiting of unbelief God is waiting to pour out His richest blessings on you. Go forward with bold confidence and take what is yours...-J.R.Miller, Streams...........Rom8:37 "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us."

#0001671

We must make our choice, commit to it, and take our rightful place as confidently as a tree is planted in the ground. Even the shadow of a doubt will destroy our confidence. Having seen the light, we must advace...-AB Simpson, Streams...........1Pet5:10 "The God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."

#0001672

When God is the center of a soul, although disasters may crowd in on all sides and roar like the waves of the sea, there is a constant calm within. What is it that causes people to shake like leaves today at the first hint of danger? It is simply the lack of God living in their soul, and having the world in their hearts instead...-R. Leighton, Streams Psal25:1 "Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever."

#0001673

"Thus said the Lord of hosts; let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets.- Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not.- The Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might."...-Zec8:9.-Isa35:3,4.-Jude6:14...

#0001674

"I am the vine, ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without) Me ye can do nothing.- I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.- Strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.- The joy of the Lord is your strength."...-John15:5.-Phi4:13.-Eph6:10.-Neh8:10...

#0001675

Until a person finds God, he begins at no beginning and works to no end. Life will never make sense without God--full of sound and fury but signifying nothing. Until you include God in your life, yours will be a world without rhyme or reason. He's the one who gives meaning, definition and understanding to life...-Sala, Refuge And Strength.....................Dan4:34 "At the end of that time, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven, and my sanity was restored. Then I praised the Most High; I honored and glorified Him who lives forever."

#0001676

Please remember there is never a time when we cannot hope in God, whatever our need or however great our difficulty may be. Even when our situation appears to be impossible, our work is to `hope in God 1. Oh the hundreds, even the thousands of times I have found this to be true, when it seemed impossible for help to come, it did come, for God has His own unlimited resources...-George MuellerPsa43:5 "Why art thou cast down, 0 my soul? And why art

thou disquieted within me? Hope in God: for I shall yet praise Him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."

#0001677

"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this I will be confident- Thou bast given a banner to them that fear Thee. — If God' be for us, who can be against us?- The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?"...- Psa27:1,3.-Psa60:4.-Rom8:31.-Psal18:6...

#0001678

Healing is any sign of God's kingdom in a person's life—not necessarily an answer to every medical or physical need. Healing in Scripture, does not refer to becoming as you were; it is becoming what you should be...-Charles Fan, An Eternal Touch For Earthly Pain

Psa103:1-2 "Bless the ILord, 0 my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, 0 my soul, and forget not all His benefits."

#0001679

Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou bast defied.- God is my strength and power:... He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.- Our sufficiency of God."...- lSaml7:45.- 2Sam22:33,35.-2Cor3:5

#0001680

Fight the good fight of faith.- Strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.- The time would fail me to tell of those who through faith subdued kingdoms,... Out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens."...- 1Tim6:12.-2Kings6:16. — Heb l l ;32134...

#0001681

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith wavering; for He is faithful that promised- Our God is in the heavens; He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.- With God nothing shall be impossible. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."-Hebl O:23.-Psal 15:3.-Lukel:37,45

#0001682

He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all...-RR.......2Tim1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind.”

#0001683

Coaching is about improving the individual's capacity to focus, learn, and innovate. You cannot teach a person anything; you can only help him find it within himself. Galileo Gallilei........Isa44:3 “I will pour water upon him that is thirsty.”

#0001684

"We don't know who we are until we see what we can do."

~Martha Grimes.......Mat5:6 “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”

#0001685

To have a good friend is one of the greatest delights of life...-

Ralph Waldo Emerson.......Mat28:20 “Lo, I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

#0001686

The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as heck we should never teach...-Maya Angelou.......John6:63a “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The Words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are life.”

#0001687

"ATTITUDE is More Important Than: Appearance, Talent, Skill, The Past, The Future, Money, Circmstances, Failures, or Successes, What Other People Think Or Say About You Or Do To You. The awesome thing about Attitude is, YOU are always in charge of it...-John Maxwell.......Gal6:7 “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

#0001688

When I was crossing the Irish Channel one dark, starless night, I stood on the deck by the captain and asked him,“How do you know Holyhead Harbor on so dark a night as this?” He said, “You see those three lights? Those three must line up behind each other as one, and when we see them so united we know the exact position of the harbor’s mouth.” When we want to know God’s will there are three things which always concur: the inward impulse, the Word of God, and the trend of circumstances! God in the heart, impelling you forward; God in His book corroborating whatever He says in the heart; and God in circumstances, which are always indicative of His will. Never start until these three things agree...-F. B. Meyer....Micah7:8 “When I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.”

#0001689

It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end...-Ursula LeGuin........Prov3:6 “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.”

#0001690

Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because it is the quality which guarantees all others...-Winston Churchill.......Mat19:26 “With God all things are possible.”

#0001691

A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality...-Winston Churchill.......Psalm23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Thy rod and Thy staff - they comfort me.”

#0001692

“That on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the Word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.- As ye have . . . received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him: rooted and built up in Him, and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.- By faith ye stand.”...-Luke8:15.-Col2:7.-2Cor1:24...

#0001693

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built...-Eleanor Roosevelt......Mat24:13“He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.”

#0001694

It seemed impossible for Asa and his men to hold out against the vast army of Zerah the Cushite who marched against them. Asa, realizing his lack of strength, saw God as standing between the might of Zerah and himself. And he was not mistaken. The Cushites ‘were crushed before the Lord and His forces’(2Chr14:13)...-FB Meyer, Streams......2Chr14:11“Then Asa said . . . ‘ Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty’.”
