law perfect soul
Most laws condemn the soul and pronounce sentence. The result of the law of my God is perfect. It condemns but forgives. It restores - more than abundantly - what it takes away.
son grieving vision
Grieve not, then, if your sons seem to desert you, but rejoice, rather, seeing the will of God done gladly.
wise sweet jesus
The will of God is sweet tonight, altogether ‘good and acceptable and perfect.’ The considerate love of the Lord Jesus for us seems such a kind thing now. I know it has always been so, but somehow I didn’t see how wise it was when it didn’t seem kind… Remind me of this when I cannot regard His love as considerate some time.
fool loses
He is no fool who parts with that which he cannot keep, when he is sure to be recompensed with that which he cannot lose.
heart expression passionate
Surely those who know the great passionate heart of Jehovah must deny their own loves to share in the expression of His.
heart godly greek
What good are Greek, commentaries, insight, gift, and all the rest, if there is no heart for Christ?
wind sound thunder
The sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.
eye hands darkness
As your life is in His hands, so are the days of your life. But don’t let the sands of time get into the eye of your vision to reach those who sit in darkness. They simply must hear.
jesus passion simple
I have prayed for new men, fiery, reckless men, possessed of uncontrollably youthful passion-these lit by the Spirit of God. I have prayed for new words, explosive, direct, simple words. I have prayed for new miracles. Explaining old miracles will not do. If God is to be known as the God who does wonders in heaven and earth, then God must produce for this generation. Lord, fill preachers and preaching with Thy power. How long dare we go on without tears, without moral passions, hatred and love? Not long, I pray, Lord Jesus, not long.
car missionary steers
It's hard to steer a parked car.
distance knees thrones
God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!
temptation way rebel
Unwillingness to accept God's 'way of escape' from temptation frightens me - what a rebel yet resides within.
grace deliberate
I couldn’t have asked for more than God in deliberate grace has surprised me with!
knowing earth excitement
Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth!
