When we are calling to God to turn the eye of His favor towards us He is calling to us to turn the eye of our obedience towards Him.

We cannot expect too little from man nor too much from God.

There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear in keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt in abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.

May Christ be our joy, our confidence, our all. May we daily be made more like to Him, and more devoted to His service.

If therefore our houses be houses of the Lord, we shall for that reason love home, reckoning our daily devotion the sweetest of our daily delights, and our family worship the most valuable of our family comforts. This will sanctify to us all the conveniences of our houses, and reconcile us to the inconveniences of it.

It is better to take time to consider before than to find time to repent after.

Nothing can make a man truly great but being truly good, and partaking of God's holiness.
