Frases de James MacDonald

“The Christian way is a life of faith. In order to hold on to the promises of God, you’ve got to believe them and live by them.”

“Our prayer must be, “Father, I’m waiting for You because I know You are good in what You do and in when you do it.””

“This fight is not going to be over in 10 minutes or 10 weeks; there’s no quick solution. If you think it’s taking too long, remember, God is with you.”

“What kind of future is in God’s plan? A good one to which you can look forward. That’s why you can hope.”

“[God’s] purposes are always accomplished. His enemies are always defeated. His faithful followers are always rewarded. His Son’s throne will be established forever.”

“I will not fail: God is always victorious.”

“By your grace, I will not despair. I believe that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”

“Don’t miss God’s fingerprints all over the events, lining up people and circumstances in perfect timing to preserve His people and advance His agenda.”

“His disposition is kindness. His default action is for your benefit. He’s good! And someday you will taste it!”

“Sometimes it feels like God backs away from you when you hit hard times, but that’s not true. (see Psalm 34:18)”

“At this moment, God is watching your life and at some point in this trial, He will say enough. You don’t need to falter.”

“Too many times we’re looking for ways to get around deep waters and dangerous fires, rather than through them. Has this ever been your experience?”

“Only when we have done all we knew to do can we wait by faith for God to do what only He can do.”

“Even if God could lie, He would have no motivation. He can gain nothing by lying. Everything He wants to have happen happens.”

“It’s not unlikely that God would lie—that would be a matter of probability. It is impossible for God to lie.”

“We all know the disappointments that come when we base anticipation on what we and other humans can deliver. God will never have a problem delivering!”

“When you say, I don’t know exactly what God is doing, but I know he’s in control—that’s evidence you’re trusting Him.”

“Fear is the contradiction of faith. Faith says, Whatever it is, it’ll be okay because of God.”

“If He wasn’t going to use that hard thing for your good, it wouldn’t have happened. He had to sign off on every single thing that touches your life.”

“Difficult trials will naturally evoke powerful emotions in us. How would your circumstances look today if you chose to focus first on God’s promises?”

“While we wait, God builds our faith in His promises.”

“Eventually you can see that your pain was part of a much larger picture that God was carefully painting.”

“When you come to the place where you can’t do anything else, you must stand still and believe… When you can’t do anything, let God do it all.”

“I want to be a part of the grand plan. Being on board with God’s objectives means I understand that this is not about me.”

“God looked through eternity past and He saw you and He chose to reach out and redeem you by His own grace. It’s hard to imagine that kind of love.”

“While you can’t keep fear from visiting, you can slam the door in its face. With God’s promise in your hand, that’s exactly what you are able to do.”

“It doesn’t matter what has happened, better things are coming. God’s plan produces hope in me.”

“Doubt is a lack of confidence or assurance that God will keep his promises. Faith is an active confidence that God’s promises are always true.”

“Don’t lean on your own understanding. If your trust in God is limited by your understanding of His ways, you will always have a limited trust.”
