Four Lessons on Life 1. Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up. 2. If you get too far ahead of the army, your soldiers may mistake you for the enemy. 3. Don't complain about the bottom rungs of the ladder they helped to get you higher. 4. If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.

Warren W. Wiersbe
Daniel gave all the glory to God he took none of it for himself. There is no limit to what God will do for the believer who will let God have all the glory.
Warren W. Wiersbe

Warren W. Wiersbe
The greatest judgment God can send on His people is letting them have their own way.
Warren W. Wiersbe
He knows when we go into the storm, He watches over us in the storm, and He can bring us out of the storm when His purposes have been fulfilled.
Warren W. Wiersbe
If you are going to live by faith, then expect your faith to be tested. A faith that can't be tested can't be trusted.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Life's trials are not easy. But in God's will, each has a purpose. Often He uses them to enlarge you.
Warren W. Wiersbe
If we see only the problems, we will be defeated but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.
Warren W. Wiersbe
God has ordained that His people live by promises and not by explanations.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Nothing paralyzes our lives like the attitude that things can never change. We need to remind ourselves that God can change things. Outlook determines outcome. If we see only the problems, we will be defeated but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.
Warren W. Wiersbe
It is easy to make excuses when we ought to be making opportunities.
Warren W. Wiersbe
People who walk by faith don't see obstacles, they see opportunities.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Do you need help today? Lift up your hands to the Lord in supplication and in expectation, and soon you will lift up your hands in jubilation and celebration.
