The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.

A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.

The greater the difficulty to be overcome, the more will it be seen to the glory of God how much can be done by prayer and faith.

When God overcomes our difficulties for us, we have the assurance that we are engaged in His work and not our own

When the day of recompense comes, our only regret will be that we have done so little for Him, not that we have done too much.

When sight ceases, it is the time for faith to work. The greater the difficulties, the easier it is for faith. As long as human possibilities for success remain, faith does not accomplish things as easily as when all natural prospects fail.

God delights to increase the faith of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God's hands as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.
