Journey Day by Day Quotes

“Many of us spend years asking God for something, and we don’t always receive the happy answer we hope for. Sometimes God tells us no or calls us to wait on Him. When we feel He doesn’t hear us, we need to return to the truth of Scripture. He does care about each of His children, and He always works for our good and for His glory. Even when we don’t understand God’s answers, we are called to keep trusting Him and believing that He has a purpose and a plan. He is always at work, making us more like His Son.”

“No one emerges from the ending of a marriage without scars. Divorce is never God’s perfect choice.

Programs offered in many churches provide small-group encouragement and an accompanying program for children.”

“Jesus said in John 6:27, “Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life.” Yet many of us continue to labor to the point of exhaustion for that which does not satisfy. Are you so focused on your work that you are neglecting relationships? Have accomplishments, money, or position become an idol to you? Are you sacrificing health and spiritual growth for success? Are you seeking God and His kingdom first, or do promotions, pay raises, and accolades top your list? Ask God to help you honestly evaluate your work ethic today.”

“Parents have a responsibility to invest their time and energy into helping their children grow physically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially, helping them develop healthy patterns that will carry over into adulthood. But there is no ironclad guarantee a child, teenager, or adult will not rebel. Many prodigals will come to their senses and return to the roots of their upbringing. A few will not, using their God-given freedom to continue making poor choices. Parents of prodigals need to maintain hope, give unconditional love, and be ready with open arms to welcome their prodigal home.”

“The Bible teaches that we are all sinners (Rom. 3:23), and our marriages are affected by sin as well. Yet we must remember that no marriage is beyond the saving grace of God. If He can save us from our sins and spiritual death and give us eternal life through His Son, He can bring restoration, healing, and peace to our lives and relationships here on earth. If you are facing trials in your marriage or you know someone who is, encourage them to visit a godly counselor who will honestly and lovingly point out the truth of God’s Word and try to preserve their marriage in keeping with His will.”

“God loves us and wants to spend time with us, but sometimes we fill the time we should be spending with Him with other activities. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with most of these things, we can’t allow them to take such a big chunk of our time that we don’t spend sufficient time seeking Him. If your schedule has become a problem, ask the Lord to help you put things back into balance and to give Him first place in your life and in your heart.”

“According to a study by Rutgers University, living together before marriage increases the risk of breaking up after marriage. It increases the risk of domestic violence for women and the risk of physical and sexual abuse for children. Unmarried couples have lower levels of happiness and well-being than married couples. Pray for people you know who have chosen to live together.”

“One part of the definition of humility is that we see ourselves as we really are. Wake-up calls remind us who we are. So when you get a wake-up call from God, realize who you are, who loves you, and then give Him the glory for it.”

“yelling isn’t the solution.” “We all make mistakes, but you can’t let the enemy trick you into thinking you’re a bad mom.” Misty gave me a quick hug. We bowed our heads and asked God to give both of us wisdom to be good moms and for me to let go of guilt for past mistakes. No mother is perfect, but don’t ever forget that God chose you specifically to be the mother of your children. He knew ahead of time what specific challenges both you and your children would face. God also gives us loving advice in His Word about how to raise our children. We need to make sure we are setting a good example and disciplining our children in a Christlike manner. Proverbs 2:6 says, “The Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.” And remember, “With God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26).”
