Faith & Trust
Christ counts it his honour that he is a king of a willing people, and not of slaves.
Engage God by prayer to stand at thy back. God is in a league offensive and defensive with thee, but he looks to be called.
Faith hath two hands; with one it pulls off its own righteousness and throws it away, as David did Saul’s armour; with the other it puts on Christ’s righteousness over the soul’s shame.
He that enables thee in one condition, will in another. God learns his servants their whole trade.
True grace, when weakest, is stronger than false when strongest. There is a principle of divine life in it which the other hath not.
It is faith stills the storm which sin had raised—faith that changed his doleful note into joy and gladness. Happy man he was, that had such skilful chirurgeons so near him, who could direct him the nearest way to a cure.
