“Hence God leads us into circumstances in which we are tempted to doubt his promises, that by temptation he may discipline faith into power.”  Edward Luscombe Hull  ((1867)

“Oh, the sea is not more full of water, nor the sun of light, than the Lord of mercy; yea, his mercies are ten thousand times more.”  Robert Bolton  (1572-1631)

“Christ does not only declare that God will give us needed grace, but He Himself undertakes to see it done.”  Jonathan Edwards  (1703-1758)

“Affliction will harden the heart if it is not referred to God as its author.”  Thomas V. Moore

“The power of God subdues our corruptions.  “He will subdue our iniquities’  (Micah vii. 19).  Is your sin strong?  God is powerful, He will break the head of this leviathan.  Is your heart hard?  God will dissolve that stone in Christ’s blood.”  Thomas Watson   (1613)

“Oh! For that warm and constant love, which is the main-spring of devoted diligence in the service of God.  Oh! For a larger supply of that “wisdom which is from above,” and which is “without partiality and without hypocrisy!”  (Jam. 3: 17)  Charles Bridges

 “It is not for the enemies’ sake that God doth preserve or deliver his people; nor for their sakes, their prayers, tears, faith, obedience, holiness, that he doth great things for them, bestows great mercies upon them; but it is for his own name’s  sake.”  William Greenhill

“Because a Christian sometimes stops short of the Cross in his spiritual conflicts, he fails to defeat the enemy and remains unfruitful and unhappy, until by some special intervention of the great Restorer, he is again brought, in spirit, to that place where God first met him, and welcomed him in Jesus in the fullness of forgiveness and of peace.  No intermediate experience, how truthful soever in its character, will meet his case.”  ( Arthur Pridham)

“Nothing is more provoking to God, than our quarrelling with our allotment, and indulging the desires of the flesh.  Matthew Henry 1662-1714

“It is a conquering, prevailing greatness of His power; it makes nothing rise up to something; it makes all things arrive to whatsoever He will have them arrive; they have all a faculty in them to obey Him; He is ABLE to subdue all things to himself, and by that same power He will glorify believers”  Thomas Goodwin  (1600-1679)
