One of the most dangerous conditions of the heart is offense. Offense will distract us from our God-given course. David said: “Give ear to my prayer, O God; and do not hide Yourself from my supplication. Give heed to me and answer me; I am restless in my complaint...
Our first priority is to focus on the task which God has assigned to us, whatever it is. Then, we must make frequent “checks” along the way. We must be certain that we have not allowed something that is second or third in importance, take first place. We must pay...

God has said that He would place a hedge around us to protect us from all evil. He has even said He would protect our coming in and going out. Day and night God is our guard; He will not sleep or slumber as He surrounds us with His care. Never forget: We may feel...
