The 30 Life Principles
Genuine intimacy with God is evident in all aspects of our lives.
I waited patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. (Psalm 40:1)
Which of the 30 principles below would make the biggest difference in your life if you began applying it today?
Earlier this week, while looking for a Link of the Day, I came across the outstanding website for In Touch Ministries. Dr. Charles F. Stanley is the founder of that ministry. On one of the web pages, Dr. Stanley lists “The 30 Life Principles.”
My favorites when I first wrote this post on April 11, 2007 were Principles 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 19, 22, and 27.
Principle 1
Our intimacy with God – His highest priority for our lives – determines the impact of our lives.

Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.
Principle 3
God’s Word is an immovable anchor in times of storm.

The awareness of God’s presence energizes us for our work.
Principle 5
God does not require us to understand His will, just obey it, even if it seems unreasonable.

You reap what you sow, more than you sow, and later than you sow.

The dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us.
