'...The greatest difficulty spiritually is to concentrate on God, and His blessings are what make it so difficult. Troubles almost always make us look to God, but His blessings tend to divert our attention elsewhere...'
'Look to Me and be saved...' Isaiah 45:22

Favorite Quote of the Week
This was my favorite quote I came across this week. Of course, it's by Oswald Chambers (as usual!):
'Once we get intimate with Jesus we are never lonely and we never lack for understanding or compassion. We can continually pour out our hearts to Him without beting perceived as overly emotional or pitiful. The Christain who is truly intimate with Jesus will never draw attention to himself but will only show the evidence of a life where Jesus is completely in control. This is the outcome of allowing Jesus to satisfy every area of life to its depth. The picture resulting from such a life is that of the strong, calm balance that our Lord gives to those who are intimate with Him.'
