Quotes/Scripture

I am doing this bible study on scriptures and the book is mixed with quotes by authors, and biblical scriptures.  There were a few that jumped out to me where I had to highlight a bunch of times and even put little stars by. J

            -You are either becoming more like Christ every day or you’re becoming less like him.  There is no neutral position in the Lord.   (Stormie Omartian)

             We make daily excuses of why we do things or don’t do things so we feel better about ourselves.  When you look at this quote you see you are or you aren’t.  It is that simple.  I love how spelled out this quote is because it sums it up where I feel everyone can relate.

            -We are either the masters or the victims of our attitudes.  It is a matter of personal choice.  Who we are today is the result of the choices we made yesterday. Tomorrow, we will become what we choose today.  To change means to choose to change. (John Maxwell)

            We tend to think others are responsible for what they did to us or how they treated us, when truth is WE make the choice to become the victim or the master of our attitude.  Every day is an opportunity to learn from our mistakes and trials and grow in God and learn and keep moving forward.  We always have a choice, so we choose what we think, feel, do, or don’t do.

            -Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength. (Corrie ten Boom)

            As humans we tend to worry and try to figure out EVERY situation and we can grow tired and weary.  We think that when we worry we are in the process of fixing or finding a solution.  The truth is we are putting ourselves before God and telling him he can’t handle it, we can. 

            -And he said to me, My grace is sufficient enough for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. (2 corinthians 12:9)

            We are weak and grow tired, so at our worst, he is our best!!!
