We get the help; God gets the glory. That arrangement keeps us humble and happy, and keeps him supreme and glorious.
Times of suffering and deliverance are both God’s stages of care for you. He has not left you or forsaken you.
Jesus will take care of you when you take care of others. That’s why there were leftovers after Jesus fed the multitudes.
Jesus provides an ever-present, ever-living witness to the removal of the Father’s wrath from us.
When Jesus says, “I will grant him to sit with me on my throne,” he promises us a share in the rule of all things.
Jesus anchored the happiness of suffering saints in the reward of heaven. And he anchored the happiness of successful saints in the same.
1If we don’t call to mind what God has said about himself and about us, we will languish. Never forget that our God is the God of the impossible.
Every little thing you do that is good is seen and valued and rewarded by the Lord. And he will pay you back for it.
Yield to the sovereignty of God in all the details of life, and rest in his infallible promises to show himself mighty on your behalf.
Receive Christ, welcome Christ, embrace Christ — not just as your fire insurance policy, but as your eagerly awaited Treasure and Friend and Lord.

What act could be more one-sidedly free and non-negotiated than one person raising another from the dead? This is the meaning of grace.
Our emotions are governed in large measure by what we consider — what we dwell on with our minds.
When the command of God comes with the creating, converting power of the Holy Spirit, it gives life. And we believe and rejoice and obey.
Freedom from greed comes from the deeply satisfying faith in God’s future grace.
If God exists, then he is the measure of all things, and what he thinks about all things is the measure of what we should think.
When God judges believers in the end, he will forgive us all our sins and grant us life everlasting.
God is not the God of some grace. He is the God of all grace — including the infinite, inexhaustible stores of future grace that we need to endure to the end.
Christ promises to work for us, and to be for us so much that, when our missionary life is over, we will not be able to say we’ve sacrificed anything.
God gives both the sustaining grace we need in times of trouble, and the suffering which makes us depend on his grace.
