Do not lean on your own understanding. That means don't bring in the crutches and lean on them, those crutches that you have designed and made to handle such situations. Stay away from them. Don't lean on them lean on God.

More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
Focusing intently on Christ naturally results in a lifestyle of increasingly greater selflessness. And it has another benefit. Gazing on Christ gives us greater ability to look past life's trials and remain calm in the midst of what others would call chaos.

Intimacy offers a full tank of fuel that can only be found by pulling up closer to God, which requires taking necessary time and going to the effort to make that happen.
Charles R. Swindoll
If I had my life to live over, I'd have spent more hours in worship.

The Promised Land was a tangible representation of God's ultimate desire for His people, but they failed to comprehend His gift for at least three reasons: It was unconditionally promised, it was outrageously generous, and it was absolutely free. None of those make sense in the world as we know it.
Charles R. Swindoll
There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.
Charles R. Swindoll
I have no interest in returning to yesteryear. I love the conveniences and delights of today's time. I wouldn't go back if I could.

Prayer is an investment. The time you dedicate to prayer isn't lost it will return dividends far greater than what a few moments spent on a task ever could. If we fail to cultivate this discipline, prayer winds up being our last resort rather than our first response.
Charles R. Swindoll
For there to be true maturity, people must be given room to grow, which includes room to fail.
Charles R. Swindoll
The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.
Charles R. Swindoll
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
