We can all see God in exceptional things, but it requires the culture of spiritual discipline to see God in every detail.

In Christian work our initiative and motivation are too often simply the result of realizing that there is work to be done and that we must do it. Yet that is never the attitude of a spiritually vigorous saint. His aim is to achieve the realization of Jesus Christ in every set of circumstances.

Worship is giving God the best that He has given you.

Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is.

We look upon the enemy of our souls as a conquered foe, so he is, but only to God, not to us.

The degree of panic activity in my life is equal to the degree of my lack of personal spiritual experience.

Faith by its very nature must be tried, and the real trial of faith is not that we find it difficult to trust God, but that God's character has to be cleared in our own minds. Faith in its actual working out has to go through spells of unsyllabled isolation. Never confound the trial of faith with the ordinary discipline of life. Much that we call the trial of faith is the inevitable result of being alive.
