Jeremiah BurroughsTemptations will no more prevail over a contented man, than a dart that is thrown against a brazen wall.
Jeremiah BurroughsChristian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.
Jeremiah BurroughsNote this, I beseech you: in active obedience we worship God by doing what pleases God, but by passive obedience we do as well worship God by being pleased with what God does.
