“The fruit of the Lord’s putting his own in straits, is to make them and all men see, that he hath ways of deliverance, more than they know of; and that he will save his own when men count their case desperate: for salvation belongeth to the Lord.”  David Dickson  (1583-1662)

“An unhumbled heart sets not a due value on Divine mercies; but those who are truly acquainted with themselves, who know what they are and have been, together with what the Lord has done for them, in raising them up from the depths of sin and woe, will call upon their souls and all that is within them, to bless the holy name of their gracious Deliverer.”  (John Fawcett  1740-1817)

“For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.”   Or rather, as others render it, and which is more admirable.  When there is not a word and Thou knowest what I intend to speak, either in prayer to thee, or in conversation with men, when I have not yet uttered one word.”  (Matthew Poole  1624-1679)

“Fear ye not.  What shall they fear, above whose head the Gospel-standard floats?  Faith reads thereon, ‘If God be for us, who can be against us?’  Rom. 8:31.  But use no fruitless efforts.  The waves are deep.  The foes are strong.  There is no help in self.  ‘Stand still.’  Leave all to God.”  Henry Law  (1797-1844)

“To set God his time is to limit him (Psalms 78:41); it is to exalt ourselves above him, as if we were wiser than God.”  (Thomas Brooks  1608-1680)

“It is not necessary that I should have honor and preferment, but it is necessary that I should have God as my portion.”  Jeremiah Burroughs  1600-1646)

“The less confidence we have in ourselves or in anything beside God, the more evidence have we of the sincerity of our faith in God.”  (David Dickson, 1583-1662)

“While He keeps the throne, it is a senseless heart that fails through distrust of His power, even when all visible power and help fail.”  (David Clarkson)

“Though God doth not every day bring a man to his bed and break his bones, yet we seldom, if at all, pass a day without some rebuke and chastening.”  (Joseph Caryl; 1602-1673)

“If you would have the distraction of your thoughts prevented, endeavor to raise your affections to God, and to engage them warmly in your duty.”  (John Flavel  1627-1691)
