Contentment... is the soul's enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding.

Faith endures as seeing Him who is invisible (Heb. 11:27); endures the disappointments, the hardships, and the heart-aches of life, by recognizing that all comes from the hand of Him who is too wise to err and too loving to be unkind.

Happy the soul that has been awed by a view of God's majesty

The gospel is not an announcement that God has relaxed his justice or lowered the standard of His holiness.

God has often given His people favor in the sight of heathen masters (as Joseph and Daniel), and has magnified the sufficiency of His grace by preserving their souls in the midst of the most unpromising environments. His saints are found in very unlikely places.

Prayer is not intended to change God's purpose, nor is it to move Him to form fresh purposes. God has decreed that certain events shall come to pass through the means He has appointed for their accomplishment.

The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them.
