Just Two Choices on the Shelf; Pleasing God or Pleasing Self
Man will glory either in himself or in God. Man will live either to serve and please himself, or he will seek to serve and please the Lord. None can serve two masters.

The Ever Present Now
It should ever be born in mind that with God there is no such thing as past, present, and future, though in condescension to our infirmities He sometimes so represents things in His Word, time limitations do not exist with the eternal “I Am”: all is an ever present now.

Faith Is NOT Fatalism
There is a sulking submission and there is a cheerful submission. There is a fatalistic submission which takes this attitude—this is inevitable, so I must bow to it; and there is a thankful submission, receiving with gratitude whatever God may be pleased to send us. “It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn Thy statutes” (Ps. 119:71). The Psalmist viewed his chastisements with the eye of faith, and doing so he perceived the love behind them. Remember that when God brings His people into the wilderness it is that they may learn more of His sufficiency; when He casts them into the furnace it is that they may enjoy His presence.
Daily Repentance
The Christian who has stopped repenting has stopped growing.
No Man Can Serve Two Masters
Man will glory either in himself or in God. Man will live either to serve and please himself, or he will seek to serve and please the Lord. None can serve two masters.
