- I strongly believe that the way we live is a consequence of the size of our God. The problem many of us have is that our God is too small. We are not convinced that we are absolutely safe in the hands of a fully competent, all-knowing, ever-present God.
- When human beings shrink God, they offer prayer without faith, work without passion, service without joy, suffering without hope. It results in fea...

- "Waiting is the hardest work of hope." - Lewis Smedes
- For good reasons, God does not always move at our frantic pace. We are too often double espresso followers of a decaf Sovereign.
- What God does in us while we wait is as important as what it is we are waiting for.
- "Delaying gratification is a process of scheduling the pain and pleasure of life in such a way as to enhance the pleasure by meeting and...

- When we become more focused on the overwhelming nature of the storm than the overwhelming presence of God, we are in trouble.
- Whenever Jesus calls someone to get out of the boat, he gives the power to walk on water.
- Hope does not just motivate positive action. It actually has healing power.

- The cave (of failure) is where God does some of his best work in molding and shaping human lives.
- God wants His power to flow through your weakness.

- I think God says "fear not" so often because fear is the number one reason human beings are tempted to avoid doing what God asks them to do.
- Lloyd Ogilvie notes there are 366 "fear not" verses in the Bible--one for every day of the year, including one leap year!
- ... fear will sink us faster than anything else. Fear disrupts faith and becomes the biggest obstacle to trusting and obeying God.
- Trust and...

- Your heart is revealed and your character is forged when life does not turn out the way you planned.
- It is the act of facing the storm that you discover what lies inside you and decide what lies before you.

- God generally helps people's faith grow by asking them to take the first step.
- It usually begins by my acting in faith--trusting God enough to take a step of obedience. Simply acknowledging information about his power is not enough. I have to get my feet wet.
- Never try to have more faith--just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know about Him, the more you will trust...

- There is a big difference between faith and foolishness.
- Peter does not immediately jump out of the boat. He begins by requesting Jesus to give him permission first.
- It is possible for us to make courageous, high-risk decisions that are stupid.
- Water-walking requires not only the courage to take a risk, but also the wisdom to discern a call.
- Peter is not in charge of water-walking--Jesus is.

- There is no tragedy like the tragedy of the unopened gift. ("It's as if I've lived half my life waiting for life to begin, thinking it's somewhere off in the future.")
- Comparison will lead to pride and a false sense of superiority if I'm ahead of someone, and misery if I'm behind. Or worse, I will discount and bury the irreplaceable treasure that the Lord of the Gift has given to me alone.

- Failure does not shape you; the way you respond to failure shapes you.
