The great mistake made by most of the Lord’s people is in hoping to discover in themselves that which is to be found in Christ alone.

Nothing in all the vast universe can come to pass otherwise than God has eternally purposed. Here is a foundation of faith. Here is a resting place for the intellect. Here is an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast. It is not blind fate, unbridled evil, man or Devil, but the Lord Almighty who is ruling the world, ruling it according to His own good pleasure and for His own eternal glory.

A natural faith is sufficient for trusting a human object; but a supernatural faith is required to trust savingly in a Divine object.

How blessed to know that when the world hates us, God loves us!

Almost all doctrinal error is really truth perverted. Truth wrongly divided. Truth disproportionately held and taught.

But why should we not place implicit confidence in God and rely upon His word of promise? Is anything too hard for the Lord? Has His word of promise ever failed? Then let us not entertain any unbelieving suspicions of His future care of us. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but not so His promises.

No verse of Scripture yields its meaning to lazy people.
