Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. (1 Corinthians 15:58)There is no need for us to chase after miracles, but if we need a miracle, God specializes in miracles. The greatest miracle God can do in our lives is to give us peace, whatever the circumstances may be. A Chinese proverb says, "A crisis reveals our character." How do we react in terms of crisis?

The roots go searching through the soil, but we cannot see them suck out the various gases or transmute the mineral into the vegetable; this work is done down in the dark. Our root is Christ Jesus, and our life is hidden in Him; this is the secret of th

Tozer 1 Samuel 12:22 (NIV) For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own.Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons, and you will find that it is to the soul what the water-bath is to the body. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Life is relationships; the rest is just details.”Gary Smalley Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
