The Power of a Few Words

“We work differently when we believe than when we are discouraged. We pray differently under faith or under discouragement. We read and hear the Word differently under faith or under discouragement. It is no wonder that Satan works so hard to keep us from faith and keep us in discouragement.” (David Guzik)

Has a single phrase ever changed your life? You were going one way, then something was said, or you read something that resonated deep within you, and you knew from that moment on things would be different.

That’s just the reason I love poetry, songs, and quotes so much. They often come to me at just the right moment, as if an unseen companion whispered to my troubled thoughts. They're simple and easy to remember. And just when I’m tempted to give up, they remind me of the holy trajectory I’m on.

The trajectory of living by faith in a loving God who reveals to us the true way to see others, ourselves, and our lives from His heavenly, holy view. The trajectory of life’s highest pursuit: To glorify the Lord of glory in every blessing or trial He gives us in His perfect, loving wisdom.

There have been times that a few words have totally changed my perspective and my life. A single phrase I’ve read has given me the victory that I’ve been praying for for days, even months, on end! The power of a few words to change our lives is the reason I’ve started this blog. Friend, I pray the truths that have helped and challenged me to gain new victories will have the same effect on your spirit!

Never underestimate the power of a few words to change your life. I pray you will be strengthened by what you read here.

May we strive higher and higher to think thoughts worthy of our holy God. He is so great and good, and He can’t do us wrong! May He renew and strengthen our spirits within us as we seek Him.
