99% of the time we can find God's will for our specific situation directly in scripture. But since we desire our own will so much, we deceive ourselves and say 'God's will is so hard to know, and scripture is so hard to understand.' Our problem is not understanding God's word, our problem is obeying it.
Preaching, Holy Spirit
If you read history you will find out that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next.
Perspective
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Love
If you find yourself so anxious to do something that it can't wait, it's probably not of God
Romans 6:11
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Thoughts on This Verse....
In baptism, we are united with Christ in his death (see Romans 6:1-14 for the background of this devotional meditation). Our old sinful selves are crucified with Christ. We are no longer slaves to sin. We are alive in Christ — the one whom sin could not master and death could not conquer. His life is now our life. His victory is our victory. His future is our future. Let's set our hearts to live based upon this certainty!
Spiritual Quotes
"Listen less to your own thoughts and more to God's thoughts."
"Knowledge of the Bible is essential to a rich and meaningful life."
God is impartial
"God has cast our confessed sins into the depths of the sea, and He's even put a "No Fishing" sign over the spot."
"If God were not willing to forgive sin, heaven would be empty."
