“We don’t have a magic shield to protect us from problems. Ultimately, it’s our attitude that counts—attitude toward ourselves and toward God. We can turn burdens into blessings, or we can let those burdens bury us.” —Billy Graham
“Our job in life is not to be successful, but to be faithful. Many Christians would prefer to hear ‘What a great guy’ from the crowd rather than ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’ from the Master.” —Billy Graham
There will be things you don’t understand: things that are not fair, people that are against you. You don’t win these battles with skill or outmaneuvering. It’s a spiritual battle. They are won with the sword of the Spirit, declaring God’s promises, standing in faith, unwavering, unmoved.
God will warn you of things you can’t see. He’ll whisper to your spirit. Instead of ignoring it, we need to obey when we don’t understand, trust when it doesn’t make sense. Recognize that God is keeping you from unnecessary trouble and heartache.
@TonyDungy You are an inspiration to us all. God has bigger plans. My son grew up reading your books , following your football successes, and looking up to you.
