Daily Reflections

These collections of quotes are good principles that are rooted in the wisdom of the Bible. They also mostly point us to the Person of Christ. Meditate one quote a day and ask " How does this speaks to my life."

1 What we have at the center of our attention is what has us. King David is both a positive and negative example of this principle. Whatever he gave his attention to would either "make him" or "break him."

2 God loves us enough to accept us as we are, but' He loves us too much to leave us that way. Could anything be better? (Philippians 1:6).

3 Nothing is so relevant as the eternal. A Jewish man named Asaph learned this thousand of years ago while struggling with feelings of envy, disappointment/ and doubt (Psalm 73).

4 We see things not only as they are, but as we are. (Titus 1:15).

5 To change we must want something else more than what we now have. Maybe this is why the Scriptures say we will find the Lord (and the heart-changing help of His Spirit) only when we look for Him with all of our heart (Jeremiah 29:13).

6 Live for what you will not regret when you die. What profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? (Matthew 16:26).

7 The secret of abundance is found not in what we have, but in what we enjoy (or are thankful for). Paul expressed this in his letter to the Philippians (Ch. 4). Nothing produces wealth more quickly or certainly than a heart of gratefulness.

8 The poorest of all are those who don’t know who to thank for the sunshine—or who to trust in the dark. Isaiah said it with an edge. Even the ox knows his master, and the donkey knows where to find his food (Isaiah 1:3). Those who don't know their God are poorer than both of them.

9 You can learn more from your critics than from your admirers. One group likes us the way we are. But in the end, it doesn't matter why the other group is telling us what we don't want to hear (Proverbs 27:6; Psalm 141:5).

10 When I am in the presence of God, it seems profoundly unbecoming to demand anything. Francis Schaeffer. No one understood this better than our Lord, who said, “Nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” (Luke 22:42)

11 Attack problems, not people. We can get the two so confused until I remember the words and spirit of Christ (Matthew 5:43-44).

12 For some troubles. God has not given us answers—He's given us His Son. That was His gift to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:43) and to us.

13 What God thinks of us is more important than what we think of ourselves. Paul seemed to have this down pretty well. He showed that. be not only took the opinions of others with a grain of salt, but his own as well (1 Corinthians 4:3-4; Romans

14 Fear God—not to run from Him, but to Him.
This might be even more basic than loving Him (Proverbs 1:7; 9:10)

15 Get knowledge—but don't depend on your knowledge. Seek to be wise—but don't rely on your wisdom. Work hard—but don't trust in your hard work. Work smart—but don't stake everything on your own cleverness and efficiency. Be ethical—but don't lean on your morality. Make plans—but don't hope in your plans. Save money—but don't trust your savings. Add up your numbers—but don't count on them. Value people—but don't depend on people. I'm intrigued with that lengthy New Testament letter that doesn't ever mention the subject of idols by name—yet abruptly ends with the words, "Little children, keep yourselves from idols" (1 John 5:21).

16 We are saved by God's mercy, not our merit; but by Christ dying, not our doing; by trusting, not by trying. If it comes down to having one or the other, we’d do well to trade all of our assets and education for this one thought (Ephesians 2:8-9).

17 Worse than blindness is sight without vision. — Helen Keller Reminds me of Jesus, who said, "Take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness" (Luke 11:34-35).

18 Wise are those who look at others with the same generosity they offer themselves, and who look at themselves with the same critical eye they have for others. Yet look what we do! We blame others –to get the attention of ourselves (Matthew 7:3)

19 I found that the desire to have is soon replaced by the fear of losing. Solomon wrote a whole essay about this (Ecclesiastes)20 Use things and love people. Don’t use people and love things. Why after so many complex and profound things are considered, do the most important things in life seem so simple
