If you would live in victory . . . you must refuse to be dominated by the seen and the felt.

One must as willingly be nothing, as something.

Nothing is worth doing at all, nothing is worth writing, which does not do something which will last.

Thank God for the battle verses in the Bible. We go into the unknown every day of our lives, and especially every Monday morning, for the week is sure to be a battlefield, outwardly and inwardly in the unseen life of the spirit, which is often by far the sternest battlefield for souls. Either way, the Lord your God goes before you, He shall fight for you!

The word comfort is from two Latin words meaning “with” and “strong” – He is with us to make us strong. Comfort is not soft, weakening commiseration; it is true, strengthening love.

God, harden me against myself!

I wish thy way. And when in me myself should rise, and long for something otherwise, Then Lord, take sword and spear And slay.
