- "We as Christians are to walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7)
- God's view of our lives is an eternal view; it encompasses our past and our future as well as our present.
- God wants to be Number One in our lives, the priority above all priorities. Everyday counts when we are devoted to God.
- "In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:6)
- Our part is to stop and acknowledge God along the way, and His part is to direct our paths. This means we are to consult with God regarding our decisions, thoughts, words spoken, or responses. Before we move ahead or merely react, we need to stop and pray first, "God, what would You have me do--or think or say--here?
- Our challenge is to choose God and His ways so as to deepen our devotion to Him.
- "Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." (Proverbs 31:30)
- "Daily I live with
fear--a healthy fear if there is such a thing. [It is] that I will miss something God has for me in this life. And it is mind-expanding to contemplate all that He wants me to have. I don't want to be robbed of even one of God's riches by not taking time to let Him invade my life. By not listening to what He is telling me. By allowing the routine, pressing matters of my minutes to bankrupt me of time for the most exciting, most fulfilling relationship in life." -- Carole Mayhall (The Navigators)
