“We sometimes think that great spiritual experiences will keep us from sin and will keep us faithful to God. This was not the case with the wisest man (Solomon) who ever lived, and it will not be the case with us also.”

“Sometimes what we want is the end game that we are resistant to the starting point.” - Erwin McManus

[Jose Cres @itsjustcres]

Our “pursuit of happiness” is so diluted because our need of fulfillment doesn’t satisfy the purpose that God intended for us.

[Jose Cres @itsjustcres]

Remember, many things are important but not everything is a PRIORITY. The question to ask yourself: is it helping you move towards your goals or vision for the year? If it’s not, then why are you doing it?

“It may be said without fear of contradiction that the greatest hindrance to evangelism in the world today is the failure of the church to supply evidence in her own life and work of the saving power of God.”

Today’s SOAP was such a great reminder of our purpose and how we must live actively on this earth.

[Jose Cres @itsjustcres]

Use the tools and resources that God gives you but let your trust and dependence be on The Lord not on those things.

“If the strength of horses be of God, or be his gift, then trust not in the strength of horses: use the strength of horses, but do not trust the strength of horses.”

[Jose Cres @itsjustcres]

“Our joy, security and freedom from anxiety depend on our trust and gratitude to God and on our personal prayer life. Those who constantly pray with an altitude of thanksgiving can have confidence that God is always with them and will help them throughout every aspect of life.”

[Jose Cres @itsjustcres]

There is a difference between knowing about God and knowing of God.

“The difference between a dream vs a vision is that something becomes a reality. When you have a vision you run after it, you invest in it. A dream is just a good story.” - @ChrisDursoTalks
