NIV, Once-A-Day Quotes

“Sometimes it seems that God has set us aside, when in reality he is undoing our self-efforts, equipping us with character and building our faith. Most, if not all, spiritual heroes have spent time in a “desert.”
― Zondervan, NIV, Once-A-Day: Bible: Chronological Edition

“Hurry and get out of this place, because the LORD is about to destroy the city!” But his sons-in-law thought he was joking. 15With the coming of dawn, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Hurry! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away when the city is punished.” 16When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them. 17As soon as they had brought them out, one of them said, “Flee for your lives! Don’t look back, and don’t stop anywhere in the plain! Flee to the mountains or you will be swept away!”

“Reflection on Romans 12:1–2 It is increasingly difficult for us to remain unaffected by the values of our society. In an age of unprecedented communication, we receive an extraordinary number of messages reinforcing the world’s value system. But the solution is not to remove ourselves from the world. We are to go into it with a firm understanding of the values of God’s kingdom, refusing to be intimidated or swayed by contrary opinions and prepared for God to use us. In fact, when we’re filled with his Spirit and listening for his voice, we can shape our environment more than it shapes us. Our transformed minds can make an impact. Instead of being conformed to the world, we can become transformers of it.”

“Wisdom and understanding come from fearing God and shunning evil.”
― Anonymous, NIV, Once-A-Day: Bible: Chronological Edition

“God wants us to trust him enough that we, like a child standing at the end of a diving board for the first time, can jump into his arms without fear. Only children who trust a father’s ability to catch and protect them can make that leap. That’s God’s prescription for stress in our lives—to make the leap into his arms. Only then can we enjoy life as an adventure rather than fear the consequences of all our decisions and mistakes. When we feel surrounded by stressful circumstances or people, we can choose to put our trust in him and then rest confidently in the fact that he is holding us.”
