"Pseudo-faith always arranges a way out to serve in case God fails it. Real faith only knows one way and gladly allows itself to be stripped of any second way or makeshift substitutes….And not since Adam stood up on the earth has God failed a single man or woman who trusted him. " - A. W. Tozer
“When we enthrone God's law in our hearts, our priorities are dictated and our paths are directed.” - John Phillips
Today’s Scripture: Proverbs 3:4.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths. (ESV)
Trust God from the bottom of your heart;
don’t try to figure out everything on your own.
Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go;
he’s the one who will keep you on track. (MSG)
