What the majority calls blessing may actually be a judgment from God.
Warren W. Wiersbe
We must never mistake the process for the result...there is suffering but this is only the process. God isn't going to stop with the process He wants to produce the final result. Suffering leads to glory shame leads to honor weakness leads to power. This is God's way of doing things.
Warren W. Wiersbe
You do not move ahead by constantly looking in a rear view mirror. The past is a rudder to guide you, not an anchor to drag you. We must learn from the past but not live in the past.
Warren W. Wiersbe
The bumps are what you climb on.
Warren W. Wiersbe
It is easy to make excuses when we ought to be making opportunities.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Hypocrisy means deliberately pretending. None of us lives up to his ideals none of us is all that he would like to be or all that he could be in Christ. But that is not hypocrisy. Falling short of our ideals is not hypocrisy. Pretending we have reached our ideals when we have not - that is hypocrisy.
Warren W. Wiersbe
When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again
Warren W. Wiersbe
God doesn't always change the circumstances, but He can change us to meet the circumstances. That's what it means to live by faith.
Warren W. Wiersbe
God will open up places of service for you as He sees you are ready. Meanwhile, study the Bible and give yourself a chance to grow.
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
The past can be a rudder that guides you or an anchor tha hinders you. Leave your mistakes with God and look to the future by faith.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Real contentment must come from within. You and I can not change or control the world around us, but we can change and control the world within us.
Warren W. Wiersbe
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
Let God enlarge you when you are going through distress. He can do it. You can't do it, and others can't do it for you.
Warren W. Wiersbe
No matter how much you may change or how life may change, God never changes, and His promises never fail.
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
The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy. Our thoughts become shackled, our emotions are chained, the will is almost paralyzed. But when we show mercy, all of these bonds are broken, and we enter into a joyful liberty that frees us to share God's love with others.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Opportunities energize the faithful and paralyze the fearful.
Warren W. Wiersbe
The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy.
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.
