The mercy by which God freely delivers, and the truth by which He righteously judges, are equally unsearchable.
Augustine
The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the many coastlands be glad!
Psalm 97:1
The English Standard Version
Faith is like the little night-light that burns in a sickroom; as long as it is there, the obscurity is not complete, we turn toward it and await the daylight.

The main theme of the Bible is the covenant-relationship between God and man.
R. V. G. Tasker
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
1 John 2:15-17
The New King James Version
Without an end or bound
Thy life lives all outspread in light;
Our lives feel Thy life all around,
Making our weakness strong, our darkness bright;
Yet is it neither wilderness nor sea,
But the calm gladness of a full eternity.
F. W. Faber

To be converted is to transfer our life’s centre of gravity from ourselves to God, to free ourselves from ourselves, to break with our self-sufficient and selfish nature, and to seek our supreme satisfaction not in ourselves but in him.
Christoph Luthardt
Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who holds it fast, who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Isaiah 56:1-2
The Revised Standard Version
Afflictions are the steps to heaven.

Hurt not your conscience with any known sin.
Samuel Rutherford
By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures.
Proverbs 24:3-4
The New International Version
A little boy playing on the deck of a ship in a mighty storm was asked by a passenger if he wasn’t afraid. “No, I’m not afraid. My father is the captain of the ship.”

The Shepherd knows what pastures are best for his sheep, and they must not question nor doubt, but trustingly follow Him. Perhaps He sees that the best pastures for some of us are to be found in the midst of opposition or of earthly trials. If He leads you there, you may be sure they are green for you, and you will grow and be made strong by feeding there. Perhaps He sees that the best waters for you to walk beside will be raging waves of trouble and sorrow. If this should be the case, He will make them still waters for you, and you must go and lie down beside them, and let them have all their blessed influences upon you.
Hannah Whitall Smith
But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat. They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Matthew 14:16-21
The English Standard Version
We lie to God in prayer if we do not rely on him afterwards.

All I am and have, both in principle and practice, is to be summed up in the one expression, the Lord’s property.
J. A. Bengel
Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.
John 11:25-26
The New Revised Standard Version
A friend is dearer than the light of heaven; for it would be better for us that the sun were extinguished, than that we should be without friends.
John Chrysostom

To pass from death to life is to pass from unbelief to faith, from injustice to justice, from pride to humility, from hatred to charity.
J. Gresham Machen
Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.”
John 12:44-46
The New International Version
He who prays as he ought, will endeavor to live as he prays.

God knows us through and through. Not the most secret thought, which we most hide from ourselves, is hidden from Him. As then we come to know ourselves through and through, we come to see ourselves more as God sees us, and then we catch some little glimpse of His designs with us, how each ordering of His Providence, each check to our desires, each failure of our hopes, is just fitted for us, and for something in our own spiritual state, which others know not of, and which, till then, we knew not. Until we come to this knowledge, we must take all in faith, believing, though we know not, the goodness of God towards us. As we know ourselves, we, thus far, know God.
E. B. Pusey
“Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Mark 14:38

The saints are the sinners who keep on trying.

A dead calm is our enemy, a storm may prove our helper. Controversy may arouse thought, and through thought may come the Divine change.
Charles H. Spurgeon
“So fear the Lord and serve him wholeheartedly. Put away forever the idols your ancestors worshiped when they lived beyond the Euphrates River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord alone.”
Joshua 24:14
The New Living Translation
It is more dishonorable to distrust a friend than to be deceived by him.

It is the presentation or giving away of all we have to God and our taking simply the place of servants, to receive back again just what he chooses. This, it will be perceived, if a reality, is no easy task and can only be done in the might of the Holy Ghost; but, when it is done, when all is laid on the altar—body, soul, spirit, goods, reputation, all, all, all—then the fire of heaven descends and burns up all the dross and defilement, and fills the souls with burning love and zeal and power.
William Booth
Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Psalm 80:3
The English Standard Version
It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.
