This is the blessed life-not anxious to see far in front, nor eager to choose the path, but quietly following behind the Shepherd, one step at a time. The Shepherd was always out in front of the sheep. He was down in front. Any attack upon them had to take him into account. Now God is down in front. He is in the tomorrows. It is tomorrow that fills men with dread. God is there already. All the tomorrows of our life have to pass Him before they can get to us.

The quiet life is by no means the greatest life. Some characters can only reach the highest standard of spirituality by the disturbings or displacings in the order of God's providence.

The man who prays grows, and the muscles of the soul swell from this whipcord to iron bands.

Consecration is not the act of our feelings but of our WILL.

Though justification costs us nothing but the sacrifice of our pride, it has cost Christ His blood.

The spirit of the gospel is in absolute disagreement with the spirit of the world.
