It is the black work of an ungodly man or an atheist, that God is not in all his thoughts. What comfort can be had in the being of God without thinking of him with reverence and delight? A God forgotten is as good as no God to us.

Paul was so much taken with Christ, that nothing sweeter than Jesus could drop from his lips and pen.

Pride is self contending with God for preeminence.
