Let the power of Christ rest on me – Thomas Chalmers

My God, Thou knowest my infirmities; and Thou knowest my desire to overcome them. Send forth Thy Spirit to help me in this warfare. Give me wisdom, O God, and the meekness of wisdom. Let the power of Christ rest upon me.

True Man of God – Mensa Otabil

A true man of God does not glorify himself; a true man of God glorifies Christ, because he knows it is only by grace, not by human wisdom that he is called by God.

Trustful Prayer – Alexander MacLaren

The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.

Treasures of Wisdom – HB Charles Jr.

The treasures of wisdom and knowledge that are found only in Christ have been cashed in for the worthless trinkets of sinful folly. Many are playing marbles with diamonds.

Christianity is more than head knowledge – AW Tozer

A man can die of starvation knowing all about bread, and a man can remain spiritually dead while knowing all the historic facts of Christianity.

Serious Meditation On Holy and Heavenly Truths – Thomas Brooks

Remember that it is not a hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.

Wait on God – JI Packer

“Wait on the Lord”—is a constant refrain in the Psalms, and it is a necessary word, for God often keeps us waiting. He is not in such a hurry as we are, and it is not his way to give more light on the future than we need for action in the present—or to guide us more than one step at a time. When in doubt—do nothing—but continue to wait on God. When action is needed, light will come.
