God Has A Way

God can and will bring very good things out of very bad things. ~ God Works For Good. Quotes

Yesterday, I watched Caleb Flynn's sentencing. It was amazing to hear Ashley's family forgive Caleb and say, over and over, that God would bring good out of this tragedy.

These people showed what it's like to be a Christian. They made it clear that just because you're a Christian doesn't mean nothing bad will happen. But when it does, God will bring something good out of it.

Our Bible verse says. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 NIV

These people knew that in all things God works for good for those who love Him. These people loved God, and they knew God would bring good out of their daughter's death. To me, just giving this testimony in court was evidence of God working good.

God can and will bring very good things out of very bad things.

Pray Bold Prayers

By Kay Heitsch

God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God. ~ Pray Bold Prayers Quotes

God is honored when we pray seemingly impossible things as well as seemingly small things. When these impossible things happen, everyone will know they can only be attributed to God.

I've seen this over and over in my own life. My one bold prayer was to ask God to use me. I had no idea how He could or would do that, since I had no qualifications. But He has, and in so doing He has gotten all of the glory as far as I'm concerned.

I had no qualifications, but I started to write inspirational things and put them in a blog for storage. These posts all point people to God. The next thing I knew, people from around the world were reading them. I've posted 3,971 posts, and last month 98,254 people read them. I don't know how they find them. I don't advertise. It is all because of a bold prayer, and God gets the glory for it all.

Our Bible verse says. Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request. 1 Chronicles 4:10 NIV

Jabez prayed a bold prayer, and we can do the same.

God honors bold prayers because bold prayers honor God.

Step By Step

By Kay Heitsch

God has a perfect plan for us. He does not do it all at once, just step by step, because He wants to teach us to walk by faith, not by sight. ~ Walk By Faith Quotes ~

When we live one day at a time, it's easier to walk by faith and not by sight. We can remind ourselves that God has a perfect plan and take it one step at a time.

Our Bible verse says. For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV

When we live by faith and not by what we see, we can live step by step, one day at a time.

God has a perfect plan for us. He does not do it all at once, just step by step, because He wants to teach us to walk by faith, not by sight.

Something Good

By Kay Heitsch

Always believe something good is about to happen. ~ Always Believe Quotes ~

How often does our hope in the LORD keep us from despair? We've all been through times when, if we had not believed we would see something good, we would have been depressed.

Sometimes I have to purposely think back and remember how the LORD has helped me. When I do, I believe something good may happen for me again today.

Our Bible verse says. Yet I am confident I will see the LORD’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13 NIV

Always believe something good is about to happen.

Take Control

By Kay Heitsch

Control your emotions. Don't let them control you. ~ Emotions Quotes ~

Self-control is strength. Don't allow your emotions to overpower your intelligence. Hold your peace because without it, you have no power.

Our Bible verse says. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14: 27 NIV

Jesus left us the gift of peace. It's up to us not to allow ourselves to be troubled or afraid. We have a part to play.

Control your emotions. Don't let them control you.

Help My Unbelief

By Kay Heitsch

Oh God, help me in my unbelief. ~ Ask God to Help You Quotes ~

Sometimes things happen, and it's hard to keep believing the best. We do believe, but part of us may doubt. That's when we can ask God to help our unbelief.

Our Bible verse says. Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

This verse is spoken by a father who half-believes Jesus can heal his son. He wanted to fully believe and asked for help. We can do the same.

Oh God, help me in my unbelief.
