Beware of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave him to be the source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.

The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh

My worth to God in public is what I am in private.

We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is.

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

Let the consequences of your obedience be left up to God.

Keep your soul fit to manifest the life of the Son of God. Never live on memories; let the word of God be always living and active in you.
