Experiencing God Day By Day

by Henry T. Blackaby

If you become bitter over your hardships, you close some parts of your life from God. If you do this, you will never be complete. Some places in your soul can be reached only by suffering. The Spirit of God has important things to teach you, but you can only learn these lessons in the midst of your trials.

Don’t resent the suffering God allows in your life.

Every event He allows into your life is designed to make you more like Christ.

It is significant that there are two occurrences of stoning mentioned in the New Testament—Stephen's and Paul's.

If you feel inadequate for a task God has given you, search the Scriptures, for within them you will find the wisdom you need to carry out His assignment. Allow the Word of God to permeate, guide, and enrich your life.

it is of no benefit to inherit everything necessary to become like Christ if you do not claim it.
