Quotes to get me through the day

On Bren's facebook page, in that weird little white box under your profile picture you can write anything you want. This is the quote he put on it a long time ago:







"Gotta take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what ya got and remember what ya had"



Kind of makes me tear up a bit.



You're Just Passing Through - Joyce Meyer



"Yes, though I walk through the (deep, sunless) valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod (to protect) and Your staff (to guide), they comfort me" ~Psalm 2 3:4



The psalmist David said he walked through the valley of the shadow of death. That's what you must do in all the situations and circumstances of this life. You must remember you are just passing through.

When you feel as if you're stuck in a situation that will never change, you must allow God to guide you through it. When the devil says, "You're trapped," boldly say to him, "Wrong! I'm just passing through!"



Trust God's Timing - Joyce Meyer



'I trust in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God. My times are in Your hands" ~psalm 31:14-15





Trust requires you to place your time in God's hands, believing that His timing is perfect for all things in your life.





Your human nature wants good things to happen in your life now - not later. But as you mature in the Christian life you learn to believe for things not now, but in God's perfect timing.



Trusting God often means not knowing how God is going to accimplish something and not knowing when He will do it. But not knowing "how and when" stretches your faith and teaches you lessons in trust. Remember: trust is not inherited; it is learned.





Timing plays an important part in learning to trust God. As you experience His faithfulness over and over, you will give up trusting yourself and place your life in His very capable hands. What a wonderful place to be!
