Accustom yourself to serious meditation every morning. Fresh airing our souls in heaven will engender in us a purer spirit and nobler thoughts. A morning seasoning will secure us for all the day.

In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience. But to humbly submit because it is the will of God to inflict the trial, to be silent because the sovereignty of God orders it - is true godly patience.

God knows all that is done in the most secret caverns of the heart. No place is deprived of his presence.

Our ignorance of God is too great, because our estimations of God are too little.

God doth not govern the world only by his will as an absolute monarch, but by his wisdom and goodness as a tender father. It is not his greatest pleasure to show his sovereign power, or his inconceivable wisdom, but his immense goodness, to which he makes the other attributes subservient.

All worship is shot wrong that is not directed to, and conducted by, the thoughts of the power of God, whose assistance we need.

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.
