Pastor ABRAHAM PETERS commented:

Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.The art of resting the mind and the power of dismissing from it all care and worry is probably one of the secrets of our great men.Rule your mind or it will rule you.A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.

Pastor ABRAHAM PETERS commented:

Try not to be a man of mere success, but rather to be a man of value.
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
Prosperity doth best discover vice, but adversity doth best discover virtue.Any coward can fight a battle when he’s sure of winning; but give me the man who has the pluck to fight when he’s sure of losing.
After the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.What comes out of you when you are squeezed is what is inside you.

Pastor ABRAHAM PETERS commented:

Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.It wasn’t until I found true risk-free security that I knew how to battle stress for good.
We never know how far reaching something we may think, say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.
The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
The secret of joy in work is contained in one word — excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.
As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person.

Experiencing God's Presence....

You will fill me with joy in your presence. —Psalm 16:11

The manifestation of God's presence can be unveiled in more than one way.

Jacob felt the presence of God at Bethel, and he was afraid (Gen. 28:17). For some there is a bias in the direction of the fear of God, which, to them, proves that God is present. Some people are even uneasy with joy. Fear is their comfort zone. They have a ready-made theological rationale for not smiling and looking sad instead. When we don't have much joy, we can hide behind the convenient view that God's glory always produces a sense of fear. That feeling of awe was what people experienced as a result of a healing presence in Galilee (Luke 5:17, 26). They felt this immediately after Pentecost (Acts 2:43).

The angel of the Lord said to the shepherds, "I bring you good news of great joy" (Luke 2:10). As a result of Philip's preaching in Samaria, "there was great joy in that city" (Acts 8:8).

We must try to remain open to the manner in which God chooses to manifest His glory. We can become so firmly entrenched in our specific comfort zone that we fail to recognize the presence of God. At the end of the day, it is impossible to describe adequately the feeling of God's special presence—however it is manifested.

The special presence of God is greater than anything said about it. But you won't miss it if you haven't experienced it. And you can believe it's still present after it has departed. Yesterday's memory of His presence and today's expectancy that it will be present can make you think God is present when He isn't. It is an easy mistake to make.

This is why we should want to be more and more sensitive to the Spirit. As we are more and more sensitive to Him, we will more quickly recognize God's special presence—and His absence.
