God is always at work around me.

I will make sure I am investing in things that are lasting.

God has not changed. He still speaks to His people.
“I seek the Will of the Spirit of God through, or in connection with, the Word of God.”
“I do not leave the result to feeling or simple impression.”
I seek at the beginning to get my heart into such a state that it has no will of its own in regard to a given matter.
God’s revelation of His activity is an invitation for you to join Him.
Understanding what God is about to do where I am is more important than telling God what I want to do for Him.
God will accomplish more in six months through a people yielded to Him than we could do in 60 years without Him.
I will watch to see what God is doing around me and join Him.
I must wait until God shows me what He is about to do through me.
I must seek to see from God’s perspective rather than from my own distorted human outlook.
I must focus my life on God’s purposes, not on my own plans.
To know and do God’s will, I must deny self and return to a God-centered life.
God’s standards of excellence are different from ours.
God is able to do anything He pleases with one ordinary person who is fully consecrated to Him.
I can’t stay where I am and go with God.
The revelation becomes an invitation to join Him.
God reveals what He is about to do.
I come to know God by experience as I obey Him, and He accomplishes His work through me.
When I find out where the Master is working, then I know that is where I need to be.
God can do anything through me.
Apart from God I can do nothing.
Watch to see where God is working and join Him.
The right question is, What is God’s will?
The Bible is my guide for faith and practice.
As I follow Jesus one day at a time, He will keep me in the center of God’s will.
To be a servant of God,I must be moldable and remain in the Master’s hand.
