“True hope is resting in the unending love of your creator, expecting him to act on your behalf.”
― Bob Saffrin, Psalms, The Sunrise of Hope

“Trusting God is the fruit of knowing him. When you are sick or there is another crisis in your life, there are Biblical steps to faith. First pray and tell Jesus that you trust him in this circumstance. Then ask him to reveal his purpose for the circumstance and believe him”
― Bob Saffrin, Moses - Steps to a Life of Faith

“to either release you from it or be with you in it. God gives us everything we need, but it is up to us to decide what we will believe, what we will trust God for, and what we will choose to focus our lives on. That’s why scripture says we only need a small mustard seed of faith. If we are simply inclined to believe God, he will build on that starter faith and we can become faith giants without limits. He creates it in us. Today I choose to believe God. Will you join me? For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor un-circumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love (Gal 5:6). Faith is the only thing that counts.”

“This may surprise you, but Elijah, the towering mighty prophet of Israel, the man who spoke for God, Israel’s prophet of prophets, was also just an inadequate, scared little Jewish boy. Nothing about him made him great, not his rugged good looks, his great intellect, or his heroic courage. On his own, he was flawed, petty and a coward. The Bible says that he was a person “just like us.” Why then, would we look at Elijah’s life and hold it up as an example of living a life of power? Precisely because he was just like you and me. Today, centuries later, religious leaders herald Elijah as the Martin Luther of old-time Israel, crediting him with turning the hearts of the people from the corrupt state-sponsored religion back to the worship of the one true God. If Elijah was a person no different than you and me, and if he did it, then why can’t we? Is it possible that God can use us to turn the hearts of the people of our generation back to God?”

“If you know Jesus as your Savior, then this book can help bring you to the next level of your walk with him. If you don't know God and have never asked him into your life, then this book won't be much help in finding his plan for you. You really can't fulfill the dream of someone you don't know. There is good news though. It turns out that God himself wants you to know him. He made you primarily because he wants to have a relationship with you. Actually, God loves you. He loves you so much that 2000 years ago he sent his only son to earth to pay the penalty for your sins just so he can have a relationship with you. God is holy and can't have a relationship with anyone who has sin in their life, and the Bible says that we have all sinned.”

“To worship something is simply the thing you think about the most or rely on the most.”

“Could it be that both Moses and Elijah were not ready for the dream God had for them but had to go through a period of preparation first? God does the same with us. He often brings circumstances into our lives that we process as failure but he sees them as preparation. God sent Elijah to Kerith because he wasn’t ready for Mount Carmel.”

“Stop just for a moment and consider something. We all know that in our own strength we don’t accomplish much for the Kingdom of God, and we know that God isn’t impressed with our fleshly efforts. We all know that in our own strength nothing much happens, but that there is no limit to what we can do if we have God’s strength at our disposal, right? What I’d like you to consider is this. God is not in the business of giving us his strength so that we can accomplish great things. What God really wants is that we would simply surrender ourselves to him. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship” (Rom 12:1). Now a sacrifice is generally dead.”
