Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.

If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus.

We think that we do well to be angry with the rebellious, and so we prove ourselves to be more like Jonah than Jesus.

We cannot always trace God's hand but we can always trust God's heart.

So the preacher of the gospel asks your prayers: and it is a part of the duties arising out of the relationship between Christian men that those who are taught should pray for those who teach God's Word.

Remember the goodness of God in the frost of adversity.

We are not to be alarmed when Satan hinders us, for it is proof that we are on the Lord's side and are doing the Lord's work. In His strength, we will win the victory and triumph over our adversary.
