“God’s truth is absolute and independent; it cannot be impaired, even if man’s falsehood be universal. Nay more, God’s truth is the only truth: it will be found in the end that He alone is holy and righteous, and every man, in himself, unholy and unrighteous. So let it be.” Edwin Hamilton Gifford (1820-1905)

“When the heart is enlarged with the sense of God’s goodness, the work of praising God will be more heartily undertaken, and a large heart will make a loosed tongue and an open mouth, to set forth his glory.” David Dickson (1583-1662)

“His infinite glory is neither capable of addition nor diminution from the creature; for ‘I receive not honour from men.’” George Hutcheson (1626–1674)

“The effect of sin has been to destroy in the human heart the love of God, and substitute for it the love of unworthy things.” George Burrowes (1811-1894)

“Ought we not daily to consider the bitterness of that cup of wrath he drank for us, and be wrought to repentance and hatred of sin, to have sin embittered to us by that consideration, and find the sweetness of his love in that he did drink it, and by that, be deeply possessed with love to him.” Robert Leighton (1611-1684)

“God’s work is perfect, man’s is clumsy and incomplete. God does not leave off till he has finished.” Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910)

“The human mind is ever prone to soften the strong features of Divine truth, and to bring them more into accordance with its own wishes and preconceived notions.” (Robert Haldane 1772–1854)

“In all your waitings remember two things: Let it not be so much the event you wait for, as the Lord of the event,; the Lord in the event. And take care that you have a promise underneath you.—In his word do I hope.” James Vaughan

This daily thought is exceedingly long, but it speaks volumes.

“We cannot attain to a comprehension of all the wisdom of God. We cannot see how its several parts cohere with each other, or how they consist with the perfections of Him who designed it and who is conducting it. There is much that, to human view, seems to be at variance with a well-ordered administration. There is much that we cannot account for, much that we cannot understand. There are many things in the management of the world that completely baffle every attempt to unriddle them. We cannot see why they are, nor why God permits them, nor how He can consistently permits them. With our limited understandings and our restricted range of observation, we cannot pretend to fathom the bottomless deep, nor measure what has no bound. We cannot, even by the most prolonged search of the most elaborate investigation, attain to a thorough understanding of God’s infinite designs. But the keenest insight and the most indefatigable application of the human faculties fail to discover the wisdom that rules in all the secrets that resolve all mysteries, harmonizes all strifes, reconciles all contradictions, and reduces this seemingly inextricable confusion to perfect symmetry and order hidden in God’s mind alone.” William Henry Green (1848-1924)

“To be discontented with our own situation, or with the elevation of our neighbors above ourselves, is rebellion against that providence by which all our affairs, and the affairs of all mankind, are conducted.” George Lawson (1749-1820)
