“It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart” (Ecclesiastes 7:2). In other words, though there is a lot of stuff we like to do in life, we must keep it all in perspective. When we are partying and feasting, it is easy to place too much importance on these things. But death changes our perception of what really matters most in life.”

“As Dr. Evans always said, faith should operate in spite of our feelings. Our faith should be the thermostat and keep our emotions from raging out of control. It all comes down to what we believe and who we trust. “Faith,” says Dr. Evans, “is simply acting like God is telling the truth.” That is, in my opinion, the best definition of faith I have ever heard.”

“I’m still in Your hands.” We don’t have to be in control of everything. We can leave everything in His hands. We can rest in His presence and His promises. We can cling to Him as He does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. Gratitude has a powerful way of bringing healing to your soul. I could have sulked over what I had lost, but being thankful gave me the peace I needed and the reasons to keep on the path of faith and faithfulness.”
