fasting or having faith enough but that they may learn treasured lessons and imbibe great character. He is more interested in you and your eternal gain than your transient happiness.

#Character

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

There are some lessons we cannot be taught verbally. We must learn them by experience. God sometimes allows some bad things or lacks to come into the life of a faithful Christian not because they are not praying,

It is possible to be busy—very busy—without being very effective.

Stephen R. Covey

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

It’s incredibly easy to get caught up in an activity trap, in the busy-ness of life, to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it’s leaning against the wrong wall.

You always reap what you sow; there is no shortcut.

Stephen R. Covey

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

Did you ever consider how ridiculous it would be to try to cram on a farm—to forget to plant in the spring, play all summer and then cram in the fall to bring in the harvest? The farm is a natural system. The price must be paid and the process followed.

We are free to choose our response in any situation, but in doing so, we choose the attendant consequence. “When we pick up one end of the stick, we pick up the other.”

Not everything desired is good to pursue. We must control our desires by thinking through before we pursue with all we have.

#Desire

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

Desire should ideally drive our life's direction. In desire is passion and passion is internal motivation when all seems contrary. But desire in itself is not reasonable.

We only win life's battles when we are first conquered by God.

And as we continue and see the invisible made visible, our faith begins to soar and sees the invisible as more tangible than the tangible.
#Faith

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

As weird as it may seem, we start from faith in the tangible to the less tangible, then we leap from the less tangible to the invisible, the seemingly abstract.

John the Baptist had it right when he said, “He must increase and I must decrease” (John 3:30).

God can always use a man if He knows His glory is safe in that man’s hands.
~A. W. Tozer

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

The malady and chaos in this world is caused by man displacing God from where He should be in his heart and mind. When we place God first in all things, every other thing else aligns well in our lives. He is supreme above all. He is sovereign.

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

We fight the right battle but with the wrong weapons, and we lose woefully because we want to fight by our own terms and wisdom, and not in that spelt out by Omniscient.

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

If you do not practice the art of holy solitude, you will not be worth anything in the kingdom of God.
~A. W. Tozer

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

You will never know God as you should know Him unless you are helpless in His hands, unless you cannot escape Him. As long as you can run, you are not in God’s hands. As...long as there is a bridge behind you so that you can retreat, you are not in God’s hands.
~A. W. Tozer

[Dab Abel @dab_abel]

God does not choose the obvious, but the one through whom He will get the most glory.
