“The higher the waters rise, the nearer Noah’s ark was lifted up to heaven; the more thy afflictions are increased, the more thy heart shall be raised heavenward.”  Thomas Brooks; 1608-1680

“And though the expression, Keep thy heart, seems to put it upon us as our work, yet it does not imply a sufficiency in us to do it.  We are as able to stop the sun in its course, or to make the rivers run backward, as by our own skill and power to rule and order our hearts.”  John Flavel (1628-1691)

“God brings about every man’s lot, and all the parts of it. He sits at the helm of human affairs, and turns them about in whatever way he lists. There is not anything whatever befalls us without his overruling hand.”  Thomas Boston (1608-1680)

“In the infinite wisdom of the Lord of all the earth, each event falls with exact precision into its proper place in this unfolding of His eternal plan; nothing, however small, however strange, occurs without His ordering, or without its peculiar fitness for its place in the working out of His purpose; and the end of all shall be the manifestation of His glory, and accumulation of His praise.”  Benjamin B. Warfield (1851-1921)

“The decrees of God are, His eternal purpose, according to the counsel of His will. Whereby for His own glory, He has foreordained whatever comes to pass.”  Loraine Boettner (1901-1990)

“Good thoughts of God will fortify us against many of Satan’s temptations.”  Matthew Henry (1662-1714)

“God’s aim in your afflictions is not destruction, but trial; as gold is put into the furnace to be fined, not consumed.”  Thomas Manton (1620-1677)

“Whatever is in harmony with the moral character of God is right, and whatever is in conflict with it is wrong.”  James Madison Pendleton  (1811-1891)

“The Bible is the chief source of information about God in His character and work.”  Claude Duval Cole  (1885-1968)

“Whatever you need dwells richly in the Woman’s Seed. Cast on Him your vileness, and take His purity; cast on Him your poverty, and take His riches; cast on Him your nothingness, and take His fullness; cast on Him your curse, and receive His blessing.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)
