“It was for the trial of their faith that these things happened to the Israelites, as do the trials of all Christians in all ages: and it is “after we have suffered awhile” that we may expect to be established, strengthened, settled.” (Brownlow North; 1741-1820)

“Answers to prayers are sweet cordials for the soul. We need not fear a frowning world while we rejoice in a prayer-hearing God.” (C.H. Spurgeon; 1834-1892)

“The weakest creature can quell the mightiest man, if God bid, go.” (Richard Clerke; 1634)

“The mighty God, without ceasing to be God, becomes man to redeem us. Wonder of wonders! The like of this never has been — never could be. Let the greatest king become the meanest beggar:–let the richest prince leave his palace for the vilest cell of a loathsome prison; it is as nothing to the act of Jesus, when He left heaven to put on Him the rags of our mortality.”

(Henry Law; 1797-1844)

“Proved by the Father and having faith rigorously exercised is not pleasant. It will always expose what is erroneous and lacking, while purging and strengthening what is genuine and acceptable with God.

(Frederick Brotherton Meyer; 1847-1929)

“You may offer an excuse for unfaithfulness, but you can never give a reason for it.” (Unknown)
