To a good man, God gives not only wisdom and knowledge, but joy.

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

It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).

Those that go gold into the furnace will come out no worse.

Meekness is calm confidence, settled assurance, and rest of the soul. It is the tranquil stillness of a soul that is at rest in Christ. It is the place of peace. Meekness springs from a heart of humility, radiating the fragrance of Christ.

Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.

Conscience is that candle of the Lord which was not quite put out.
