We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.

As a tender and loving friend is grieved at the unkindness of his friend... so is it with this tender and loving Spirit, who hath chosen our hearts for a habitation to dwell in.

Longing, breathing, and panting after deliverance is a grace in itself, that has a mighty power to conform the soul into the likeness of the thing longed after...unless you long for deliverance you shall not have it.

Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.

He can make the dry parched ground of my soul to become a pool and my thirsty barren heart as springs of water. Yes he can make this habitation of dragons this heart which is so full of abominable lusts and fiery temptations to be a place of bounty and fruitfulness unto Himself

We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.

The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
