At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.

Never try to help God fulfill His word.

Confidence in the natural world is self-reliance; in the spiritual world, it is God-reliance.

We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.

Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.

When a man’s heart is right with God the mysterious utterances of the Bible are spirit and life to him. Spiritual truth is discernible only to a pure heart, not to a keen intellect. It is not a question of profundity of intellect, but of purity of heart.

There are not three stages in spiritual life-worship, waiting, and work. Some of us go in jumps like spiritual frogs. We jump from worship to waiting to work. God's idea is that the three should go together. They were always together in the life of our Lord.
