Frank’s Random Thoughts for the Week
Keep what you like as your own. Discard the rest.
- While waiting, we shouldn’t sit and do nothing.

- Empowerment is never a single-person venture, but it works in partnership with the one who empowers.
- Practice is wonderful as long as the Lord is the one who is helping our improvement.
- When we are strengthened by the Lord, we can move mountains together, but our own effort might be only enough to turn over a rock.

- If we can enjoy the kinds of thrills that God has in his people, our joy will rise above all earthly pleasures.
- Stupidity requires no education.
- When the heart isn’t prepared by the Holy Spirit to do the work, then the body cannot function as well as it should.
- The truth wears well when you get used to it.
- The Bible gives us the who, what, and when, but the how remains a mystery until we have the Holy Spirit to do the miracle.
- We’ve become a lot smarter when we realize that our desires are the enemy, not Satan or sin.
- If we expect to run through a wall and leap over a troop, or the other way around, we will definitely need the Lord’s help to get there.
- Taking time to help others is a better gift than money.
- Life walking with the Lord would be a whole lot easier if we weren’t trying to take so many steps at one time.

- We naturally look at our physical needs, but God knows our spiritual needs are much greater.
- By continuous doing of whatever needs to come next, by sunset we can be thankful for a productive day.
