“The Lord, the ever merciful, has appointed every moment of sorrow and every pang of suffering. If he ordains the number ten, it can never rise to eleven, nor should you desire that it shrink to nine. The Lord’s time is best. The span of your life is measured to a hair’s width. Restless soul, God ordains all, so let the Lord have his way.”

“Experience is the Lord’s school, and they who are taught by Him usually learn that they have no wisdom by the mistakes they make, and that they have no strength by the slips and falls they meet with.”

“We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer. If we are true intercessors, we must be ready to take part in God’s work on behalf of the people for whom we pray.”

“Scientists describe the regularities in God’s Word governing the world. So-called natural law is really the law of God or Word of God, imperfectly and approximately described by human investigators.”

“Be courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

“When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.”

“If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?”

“The Bible does not assume that true believers will have no anxieties. It tells us how to fight when they strike.”

“In his tender mercies, God has an incredible capacity to love the unlovely.”

“He foresaw my every sin, my every backsliding; yet, nevertheless fixed His heart upon me.”

Many have provoked God fifty, sixty, seventy, perhaps eighty years! You could not stand eighty minutes of provocation, and yet the Lord has put up with you throughout a lifetime! … Still, with outstretched arms, infinite mercy bids you come and receive, at the hands of God, your pardon brought with the blood of Jesus Christ! This long-suffering of God is marvelous!
