Faith & Trust
No lawful place, or gracious occupation, however mean, can debar us from communion with our divine Lord.
You are placed by God in the most suitable circumstances, and if you had the choosing of your lot, you would soon cry, ‘Lord, choose my inheritance for me.’
Had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
Unerring wisdom ordained your lot, and selected for you the safest and best condition.
If the Righteous One be my advocate, then my cause is good, or he would not have espoused it.
When we serve our Lord Jesus as believers should do, our God is with us; and though we have the whole world against us, if we have God with us, what does it matter?
The more burdens we put on his shoulders, the more precious will he be to us.
It is when we are in his work that we may reckon upon his smile.
Our various experiences are meant by our heavenly Father to furnish fresh standpoints from which we may view the loveliness of Jesus.
If I neglect prayer for never so short a time, I lose all the spirituality to which I had attained.
It is not sitting, but sitting at Jesus’ feet which is commendable.
In matters of grace you need a daily supply. You have no store of strength. Day by day must you seek help from above.
What is my barrenness? It is the platform for his fruit-creating power.
To believe is simply to trust, to depend, to rely upon Christ Jesus.
A daily portion is all that a man really wants. We do not need tomorrow’s supplies; that day has not yet dawned, and its wants are as yet unborn.
It is safer always for you to be led of the Spirit into gospel liberty than to wear legal fetters.
Secret devotion is the very essence, evidence, and barometer, of vital and experimental religion.
Do not rest, O believer, till thou hast a full assurance of thine interest in Jesus.
Vain are all our lookings around to companions and relatives; they are broken reeds if we lean upon them.
We must live near to Jesus—in his presence—ripened by the sunshine of his smiles.
