Watch constantly against those things which are thought to be no temptations. The most poisonous serpents are found where the sweetest flowers grow. Cleopatra was poisoned by an asp that was brought to her in a basket of fair flowers. Sharp-edged tools, long handled, wound at last.

It is said that our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.

In all states of dilemma or of difficulty, prayer is an available source. The ship of prayer may sail through all temptations, doubts and fears, straight up to the throne of God; and though she may be outward bound with only griefs, and groans, and sighs, she shall return freighted with a wealth of blessings!

The saints shall persevere in holiness, because God perseveres in grace.

Wherever Jesus may lead us, He goes before us. If we don't know where we are going, we know with whom we go.

Abhor all idea of being saved by good works, but O, be as full of good works as if you were to be saved by them!
