“It is always possible to be thankful for what is given rather than to complain about what is not given. One or the other becomes a habit of life.”

The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.

Our future may look fearfully intimidating, yet we can look up to the Engineer of the Universe, confident that nothing escapes His attention or slips out of the control of those strong hands.

The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.

One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.

What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.

We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.

You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.

To love God is to love His will. It is to wait quietly for life to be measured by One who knows us through and through. It is to be content with His timing and His wise appointment.
