Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is "content" with such as he has (Heb. 13:5).

Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord.

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

Prayer is not designed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to him of our sense of need.

A 'god' who's will is resisted, designs frustrated, and purpose checkmated, possesses no title to Deity.

In praying for His enemies not only did Christ set before us a perfect example of how we should treat those who wrong us an hate us, but He also taught us never to regard any as beyond the reach of prayer.

Christ is the Divine answer to the Devil's overthrow of our first parents.
