“Faith in God’s word can alone enable us to wait with patience for the fulfillment of His promise.”  Ethelbert William Bullinger  (1837-1913)

“God is and always was so perfectly wise, that nothing He ever did, or does, can elude His knowledge.  He knew from all eternity not only what He Himself intended to do, but also what He would incline and permit others to do.  “Known unto God are all His works from eternity.”  Jerome Zanchius  (1516-1590)

“The power of godliness did never thrive better than in affliction, and was never less thriving than in times of greatest prosperity. When we are left a poor and an afflicted people, then we learn to trust in the name of the Lord.”  John Flavel (1628-1691)

“As the mercies that are with the Lord are tender, great, rich, a multitude, and manifold; so they are mercies that DIMINISH NOT in the using, but that rather increase in the exercising of them.”  John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“Faith and fear go hand in hand.  Faith keeps the heart cheerful, fear keeps the heart serious.  Faith keeps the heart from sinking in despair, fear keeps it from floating in presumption.”  Thomas Watson  (1620-1686)

“Thou hast commanded us to keep thy statutes diligently.”  We acknowledge Lord our obligation; but we feel our impotency.  Lord, help us! We look unto thee.  “Oh that our ways were directed to keep thy statutes!  “Give what thou commands; and then command what thou will.”  (Augustine; 354-430)
