The Bible is no lazy man's book! Much of its treasure, like the valuable minerals stored in the bowels of the earth, only yield up themselves to the diligent seeker.

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 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.

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

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

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

When we complain about the weather, we are, in reality, murmuring against God.
