9. We took our problem to our Lord, and felt better about it. You know, a lot of people take their problems to the Lord, and get up and walk away, carrying their problems back with them. Like those who pray for rain, and then go out without an umbrella. If that’s all the faith there is, there is not much point in praying. The Lord can’t help you if you insist on carrying your problems with you. Leave them with Him, and they are no longer yours but His.

He participates fully in everything you let Him do, and when you start putting on airs, and thinking you’re doing it with your own head of steam, He can set you down quicker and harder than a thunderbolt. There’s nothing dull about being in partnership with God.

13. When a man admits his mistakes, and is willing to learn from them with the Lord’s help, neIf it takes seven days to make a living, you ought to be doing something else.w worlds can open up.

14. America is the most prosperous nation because it is the most productive nation. If it ever ceases to be the most productive, it will cease to be the most prosperous.”

15. When the Lord has a job for you to do, He’ll give you the strength and the ability to do it.

16. The joy of accomplishment, to me, makes long hours and sweating it out worthwhile.

17. The pebbles of knowledge must be bonded together by the cement of experience.

18. Jesus said: ‘Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.’ The standards of living would raise tremendously if we all did just that.

19. We will never have real peace on earth until we give more time and loyalty to the Prince of Peace, or Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

20. Men can’t have what men don’t produce.

21. Love that is forced love is not real love, and God wants our real love.

22. If you make your muscles do a job that is within reason, they will soon get strong enough so it won’t be so hard.
