Sometimes, Jesus leads us into the wilderness to see if we are following him FOR the bread or because HE IS the Bread.

Early this morning, another spiritual giant, Loren Cunningham, founder of YWAM -Youth With A Mission passed into glory. I'll write later about my dear, compassionate friend, coworker, Great Commission visionary & inspiration to millions. "Well done, good & faithful servant!"

God is just as present in the mundane as he is in the remarkable. Listen for his whispers and watch for his winks today.

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

Typically, God will reveal the next steps when we are committed to taking the present steps.

Why would he show us the unknown when we have no plans to obey the known?

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

Things I cannot control:

1. What people think/say about me.
2. How people feel about me.
3. What happened in the past.
4. What will happen in the future.
5. Why people do what they do.

Things I can control:

1. Me

If God promised it will be alright in the end, & it’s not alright, trust me, it’s not the end…

Perfection is unattainable. Consistency is always within reach.

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

I worry less when I pray more.

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

We have to remember that we cannot control how other people feel about us.

That’s the tweet

@marvinlwilliams CONGRATULATIONS FAM!!!

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

We may not like it, but sometimes God disguises his grace in pain and suffering.

Let's ask him to open our eyes and make us aware of his unmerited favor.

[Joe Turner @iamjosephturner]

Tearing someone else down will@never elevate you…

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

Like professors give exams to see if we're grasping the material, Jesus will test us - every day - to help us to see what kind of people we're becoming and know where we are on our discipleship journey.

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

Lord, do some "far more than we can ask or think" stuff today.

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

What we DO will always trump what we SAY we're going to do.

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

“For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness… He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.” Zephaniah 3:17

I think sometimes we forget that God celebrates and celebrates hard, especially over his people.

[Dr. Marvin Williams @marvinlwilliams]

God has an unusual way of using adversity to disturb our comfort, to upset our complacency, and to build our character.
