God in His love always wills what is best for us. In His wisdom He always knows what is best, and in His sovereignty He has the power to bring it about.

Worship from the heart in times of adversity implies an attitude of humble acceptance on our part of God's right to do as He pleases in our lives.

Sometimes the end God has in mind is to exercise our faith, so He brings us into straitened circumstances so that we might look up to Him and see His deliverance.

If there is not at least a yearning in our hearts to live a holy life pleasing to God, we need to seriously question whether our faith in Christ is genuine.

When God saves us through Christ, He not only saves us from the penalty of sin, but also from its dominion.

Preach the gospel to yourself every day.

Love provides the motive for obeying the commands of the law, but the law provides specific direction for exercising love.
