We sleep in on Sunday morning, thinking it will make our day brighter. Instead, it makes our week longer.

We prefer to exhaust ourselves with endless deeds than to slow down, spend time with God, and ask Him what He wants us to do.

We work all overtime we can get, steal God’s tithe, and then think we’re going to financially get ahead.

Believing our doubts and doubting our beliefs; were we to consider things we do, we might find them odd, too ... then look for more desirable alternatives.

Someone once said, “When we feed our faith, our doubts will starve to death.”

When our decisions flop, we may hear God whispering, "In all things, seek me first."

When everything we touch falls apart, we may receive God's promise that He has everything under control.

When we're misunderstood, we may receive God's comforting assurance that He understands.

When there is no one else to turn to, we may find our best friend in Jesus.

When we face all our fears, God may want us to know that all we ever longed for and all we'll ever need is found in Him.

Once we realize that God only wants to love us, perhaps we can begin looking forward to lessons, knowing we're on our way to glory (II Co. 4:17-18), and change our question to, "Why not me?"
