I will be posting so writings regarding … following Jesus… that’s a great summary.

Soon…

Morning and afternoon
We will shout for joy when you are victorious and will lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the LORD grant all your requests. [Psalm 20:5]

7 p.m.
Praise is not only speaking to the Lord on our own account, but it is praising Him for what He has done for others. [D.L. Moody]

Morning and afternoon
Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him. [2 Corinthians 3:18, The Message]

7 p.m.
If I invited you to take a walk, you’d think I was crazy if I became angry after the first few steps because we hadn’t yet arrived at our destination. We can understand ordinary things like this, yet we have a difficult time understanding that God expects it to take some time for us to grow spiritually. [Joyce Meyer]

Morning and afternoon
God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing. [Ephesians 2:10, New Century Version]

7 p.m.
Ah! dear friend, you little know the possibilities which are in you. [Charles Spurgeon]

Morning and afternoon
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to bring you faultless and joyful before his glorious presence – to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority, from all ages past, and now, and forever and ever! Amen. [Jude 1:24, Good News Translation]

7 p.m.
There is a season of establishing, settling and testing, during which we must “stay put” until the new relationship gets so fixed as to become a permanent habit. It is just the same as when the surgeon sets the broken arm. He puts it in splints to keep it from vibration. So God has His spiritual splints that He wants to put upon His children and keep them quiet and unmoved until they pass the first stage of faith. It is not always easy work for us, “but the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ, after that ye have suffered awhile, stablish, strengthen, settle you. [A.B. Simpson]

Morning and afternoon
Just as damaging as a madman shooting a deadly weapon is someone who lies to a friend and then says, “I was only joking.” [Proverbs 26:18-19, New Living Translation]

7 p.m.
The greatest thing a man can do for his Heavenly Father is to be kind to some of His other children. [Henry Drummond]

Morning and afternoon
“You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don’t hide a light under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven. [Matthew 5:14-17, New Century Version]

7 p.m.
How do you convince a world that God is alive? By His aliveness in your life, by His work in producing reality in your experience. [Howard G. Hendricks]

Morning and afternoon
For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land–a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the LORD your God for the good land he has given you. Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. [Deuteronomy 8: 6-11]

7 p.m.
Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. [Jerry Bridges]

Morning and afternoon
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. [John 15:12-15]

7 p.m.
The air which our body requires envelops us on every hand. The air itself seeks to enter our bodies and, for this reason, exerts pressure upon us. It is well known that it is more difficult to hold one’s breath than it is to breathe. We need but exercise our organs of respiration, and air will enter forthwith into our lungs and perform its life-giving function to the entire body. The air which our souls need also envelops all of us at all times and on all sides. God is round about us in Christ on every hand, with his many sided and all-sufficient grace. All we need to do is to open our hearts. [Ole Kristian O. Hallesby]

Morning and afternoon
The Lord says, “”Come, everyone who is thirsty – here is water! Come, you that have no money – buy grain and eat! Come! Buy wine and milk – it will cost you nothing! Why spend money on what does not satisfy? Why spend your wages and still be hungry? Listen to me and do what I say, and you will enjoy the best food of all. “”Listen now, my people, and come to me; come to me, and you will have life! [Isaiah 55:1-3, Good News Translation]”

7 p.m.
The primary business I must attend to every day is to fellowship with the Lord. The first concern is not how much I might serve the Lord, but how my inner man might be nourished. I may share the truth with the unconverted; I may try to encourage believers; I may relieve the distressed; or I may, in other ways, seek to behave as a child of God; yet, not being happy in the Lord and not being nourished and strengthened in my inner man day by day, may result in this work being done in a wrong spirit. [George Muller]
