“Here some men eat their meat without any hunger, whilst others hunger without any meat to eat, and some men drink extremely without any thirst, whilst others thirst extremely without any drink.  But in the glorious presence of God, not any one can be pampered with too much, nor anyone be pined with too little.  They that gather much of the heavenly manna, “have nothing over;” and “they that gather little have no lack.”  (Edward William; 1786-1872)

“Love in presence of human suffering takes the form of compassion; and love in all its forms tends to express itself in action: compassion issues in help.”  (William Arnot;  1808-1875)

“It has been frequently with my hopes and desires, in regard to providence, as with my watch and the sun, which has often been ahead of true time;  I have gone faster than providence, and have been forced to stand still and wait, or I have been set back painfully.”  Author not mentioned

“In every assembly of believers where Christ is honored as its Head, He walks among His own and takes a watchful interest in them. Blessed is the assembly whose members are ruled by Jesus Christ.”  (Lehman Strauss;  1911-1997)

“Failure to distinguish between the law and grace only blinds men’s eyes to real truth.  This legalism and the denial of grace results only in confusion, bondage and uncertainty.”  (M. R. De Haan; 1891-1965)

“What you cannot do yourselves, give God no rest until he shall please to work a cure.”  (Matthew Poole;  1624-1679)

“The sun may sooner be stopped in his course than God hindered of His work or in His will.”  (Christopher Ness; 1621-1705)

“An infirmity is this,–when the purpose and inclination of the heart is upright, but a man wants strength to perform that purpose; ‘when the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak’ (Matt. 16:41); when a man can say with the apostle, “To will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not;”  Rom. 7:18  When the bent and inclination of the soul is right, but either through some violence of corruption or strength of temptation, a man is diverted and turned out of the way.  As the needle in the seaman’s compass, you know if it be right it will stand always northwards, the bent of it will be toward the North Pole, but being jogged and trouble , it may sometimes be put out of frame and order, yet the bent and inclination of it is still northward; this is an infirmity.”  James Nalton  (1600-1662)

“The children of God are, indeed, frequently sorrowful, but, paradoxical as the assertion may appear, if they enjoy their privileges they are always rejoicing, “Though now, for a season, if need be, they are in heaviness, through manifold trials, yet even now they rejoice with a joy unspeakable and full of glory.”  They endure as seeing him who is invisible.”  (Alexander Carson; 1776-1844)

“God cannot lie, and there is no reason to suspect him of change, or failure of ability to keep His word.  Yet, so false is the heart of man, that man doubts his Maker.”  (Charles H. Spurgeon; 1834-1892)
