“So will the soul cry to be heard, and that soon, lest its faith grow faint with delay; and the hiding of God’s face, the denying of his smile of pardon, will press on the spirit like sickness, and weigh it down like the heaviness of death.” W. Burgon (1813-1888)

“Now, from this hour, will you not begin to cherish the anticipation of complete deliverance, not hereafter, in old age and in heaven, but now and here?  Not because of your resolutions, or strivings, or agonies, but because you will stand still and see the salvation of God, because the Lord shall fight for you, and you will hold your peace.”  Frederick Brotherton Meyer  (1847-1929)

“It was thy righteousness that thou didst make the promise, but it is thy faithfulness that thou wilt keep thy promise: and seeing I am certain of thy making it, how can I be doubtful of thy keeping it?  Sir Richard Baker  (1568 -1645)

Psalm 143.  “This wotthy Psalm contains these three things.  First, a confession of his sins.  Secondly, a lamentation over his injuries.  Thirdly, a supplication for temporal deliverance and spiritual graces.”  Archibald Symson  (1790-1847)

The duration of the Satan’s encounters will last until he is destroyed.  He only conspires in sabotage and destruction.  Leaving the evil monster to the will of God is our greatest wisdom.  Should we seek to do battle against them, in the power of our own strength, will only result in bringing upon ourselves an absolute crushing defeat.  (Anonymous)

“David’s plea, ‘For I am thy servant,’ is no boast of his service, but a magnifying of God’s electing grace.”  Andrew Robert Fausset  (1821-1910)

“Watch.”  “We do injustice to that good and happy word, ‘watch,’ when we take it as watching against; against a danger; against a coming evil.  It will bear that interpretation; but it is a far higher, and better, and more filial thing to watch for a coming good than to watch against an approaching evil.”  James Vaughan

The great act of sovereignty was God’s decree for making the world; and of doing, or permitting to be done, whatever should be in it, to the folding of it up.  The heavens and the earth, and all the hosts of them, as yet had no being; it was at his pleasure whether he would make them or not; and if he would, what being he would give them, to what end, and how that end should be accomplished.  And that these were all ascertained by the decree is evident; for “known unto God were all his works,” which he would do in time, “from the beginning of the world.”  (Elisha Coles; 1608-1688)

“These are the two productions of the Spirit of God in a believer– ‘patience’ and ‘long suffering’ or long waiting, in which principally our strength consists.”  John Daille  (1594-1670)

Murmuring fills the soul with cares, fears, distractions, vexations; all which unfits a man for duty.”  Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
