## Highlights
- For many Christians, resisting temptation is difficult because they don’t want to discourage it completely. God has promised to provide a way out (1 Corinthians 10:13), but that doesn’t help if you keep leaving a forwarding address. Write the references of James 4:7 and 2 Timothy 2:22 in the margin next to Genesis 3. Look them up, read them twice, take them to heart.

- Learning to see temptation as a choice between temporary and eternal pleasures will help us overcome them. ([Location 559](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=559))
- Abram (later called Abraham) found that you don’t always need to know where you’re going, provided you know whom you’re following. ([Location 998](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=998))
- THE EVIDENCE FOR KNOWING GOD IS OBEYING GOD. ([Location 1002](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1002))
- Hindsight may be a harsh teacher, but its vision is 20/20. ([Location 1118](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1118))
- MANY PEOPLE HAVE TURNED AND LEFT THE DOCK JUST ([Location 1125](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1125))
- BEFORE THEIR SHIP CAME IN. ([Location 1126](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1126))
- Don’t hurry through these seventh-day devotionals. Instead, take the opportunity to rest in God’s presence, because you’re not just reading through the Bible this year—you’re walking with God himself. ([Location 1246](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1246))
- When God seems far away and it feels as if he is watching you from a distance, you can be confident it was you, not he, who moved. ([Location 1259](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1259))
- If you’re not in the habit of doing so, why not begin keeping a journal to record your observations, insights, and any applications you’ve made? By the end of the year, you’ll have a treasure chest of memories about your daily time with God—whether in the cool of the evening or the quiet of the morning, or sometime in between.

- One day a man named Lot sat down at his desk, pulled out a sheet of paper, and wrote across the top: “Goals for My Life.” Then he began to compile the goals that would shape the direction of his life: 1. To lose all sense of moral values 2. To forfeit all spiritual authority in my home 3. To exert no influence for good in ([Location 1277](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1277))
- my community 4. To lose everyone and everything dear to me Ridiculous, you say? Then consider this: Lot accomplished everything on that list. His lack of godly spiritual goals left a vacuum, which was then filled with unwanted consequences. He may not have set these wretched goals, but he accomplished them by default. Written goals help prevent the kind of purposeless drift that set Lot up for disaster. What do you want to accomplish specifically this year in the areas of Scripture memorization . . . time in God’s Word . . . sharing your faith? Write them down; hang them up; pray them through; and with God’s help watch them happen. ([Location 1279](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1279))
- Genesis 22:14 says that “Abraham called that place The LORD Will ([Location 1463](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1463))
- Provide.” Many aspects of this story point toward Jesus. Both Isaac and Jesus were promised sons; each was born through a miraculous conception; each carried the wood of his sacrifice; each was offered by his father on what was possibly the exact same mountain. One was saved by a lamb, and one was the Lamb. God provided. ([Location 1464](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B0084IMU6C&location=1464))
- Repeatedly in his letters Paul asked for prayer as he traveled and ministered (see Colossians 4:3 and 1 Thessalonians 5:25, for example). Don’t your missionaries today deserve the same? Locate a picture of a missionary family you or your church supports, and place it in a prominent place at home or work. Then make Philippians 1:3-4 your daily discipline in prayer on their behalf.
