“The life of a Christian is filled up with interchanges of sickness and health, weakness and strength, want and wealth, disgrace and honor, crosses and comforts, miseries and mercies, joys and sorrows, mirth and mourning; all honey would harm us, all wormwood would undo us; a composition of both is the best way in the world to keep our souls in a healthy constitution.”  (Thomas Brooks  1608-1680)

“Those are best prepared for spiritual blessings that are most sensible of their worth and their own unworthiness to receive.”  (Matthew Henry; 1662-1714)

“Whatever befalls you, remember the good pleasure of God is in it.  Hold your peace, as Aaron did (Leviticus 10:3); or if you must speak, “let your speech be seasoned with salt.”  “It is the Lord: let him do what seemeth him good.”  (1 Samuel 3:18).  (Elisha Coles  1608-1688)

“Let them fret and storm as much as they please, they cannot take from us the Lord Jesus, the peace of conscience, the joy of the Holy Ghost, the heavenly life; that is to say, in one word, supreme happiness.  Theirs blows, for the most part, can but fall on this poor flesh, and upon those things with which it is surrounded.  Our true life, and our true blessings, are in safety, above the reach of their rage.  Fear not (says the Lord) those who can kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul.”  (John Daille  1594-1670)

“Because it is deeply imbedded in the mines, the finest gold often remains long undiscovered.  And in profound natures, the sterling qualities of character are not always revealed at once.”  (Abraham Kuyper  1837-1920)

“The Lord is a law to Himself, and implicit trust and unreserved submission are what He requires from us.”  (Arthur W. Pink; 1886-1952)

“The same word which created heaven and earth accomplishes all; not we poor and helpless sinners.”  (Martin Luther; 1483-1546)

“It is a diabolical science which fixes our contemplations on the works of nature and turns them away from God.”  (John Calvin; 1509-1564)

“There is no escape even for a moment from the pursuing wrath of God. Only in Christ and Him crucified is the way out. For in Him even the suffering and death of this present time are made subservient unto our eternal salvation.”  (Herman Hoeksema  1886-1965)

“No power of man, no bonds, no opposition which any creature is able to make can hinder the delivery of the man whom God will own:  he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron asunder.”  (David Dickson  1583-1662)
