How Science Can Help - Lis Wiehl

It seemed rational and logical to believe in God, in that the world itself, the universe, had  a logic to it, independent of anybody's perception or interpretation; immutable mathematical and physical laws that would exist even if human beings never existed, and the way to study and understand that logic was through reason and science and skeptical inquiry. 

Some people worried that science was going to somehow explain away the mystery or wonder, or that there was something anti-theological about it, but there wasn't a single scientific discovery she could think of that didn't create more wonder and open the door to greater mysteries.

And to her way of thinking God was that infinite wonder and boundless mystery.....

Who Knows God's Will? - Henry Blackaby

The Holy Spirit will never misunderstand the Father's will for your life. The Father has a purpose to work out through your life, and He places His Spirit in you so you don't miss it.

The Spirit's job is to guide you according to the Father's will. Then He enables you to do God's will. You are completely dependent on God for the knowledge and ability to accomplish His purposes.

That is why your relationship with Him is crucial. That is why you need to wait until you have heard a word from Him about His purposes and ways.

Jesus is your example of One who never failed to know and do His Father's will. Everything the Father purposed to do through His life, the Lord Jesus did immediately.

What was the key to His success? He was always rightly related to the Father! If you walk in a consistent relationship with God's provision--the provision of His Son, His Holy Spirit and His presence in your life--then you should never come to a time when you do not know the Father's will. Nor should there be a time when you are not enabled to carry out His will.

In Jesus we have the picture of a solitary life in a love relationship with God, consistently living out that relationship. He is the perfect example.

You and I quickly realize we are a long way from that. True! But the Christ who lived His life in complete obedience is fully present in you to enable you to know and to do His will.

We need to adjust our lives to God and consistently live out that relationship with absolute dependence on Him. He will never fail to lead your life into the middle of His purpose and enable you to do it.

It's going to be a long day! - Sarah Young

Come to Me, and rest in My loving Presence.

You know that this day will bring difficulties, and you are trying to think your way through those trials.

As you anticipate what is ahead of you, you forget that I am with you -- now and always.

Rehearsing your troubles results in experiencing them many times, whereas you are meant to go through them only when they actually occur.

Do not multiply your suffering in this way!

Instead, come to Me, and relax in My Presence.

I will strengthen you and prepare you for this day, transforming your fear into confident trust.


Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.  Joshua 1:9

Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.  Matthew 11:28-30


He said, "Learn from Me....."
