Scripture is like a pair of spectacles which dispels the darkness and gives us a clear view of God.

Whatever a person may be like, we must still love them because we love God.

There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God.

But prosperity, and the happy issue of events, ought also to be attributed to his grace, in order that he may always receive the praise which he deserves, that of being a merciful Father, and an impartial Judge. About the close of the psalm, he inveighs against those ungodly men who will not acknowledge God's hand, amid such palpable demonstrations of his providence.

The Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the Divine beneficence toward us. They regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways, and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us.

On the one hand, undeserved success gives no satisfaction... but, on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either.

Let that ethical philosophy therefore of free-will be far from a Christian mind.
