But Christians, the last word is for you. Are you praising God more and more? If you are not, I am afraid of one thing: that you are probably praising Him less and less. It is a certain truth that if we do not go forward in the Christian life, we go backward. You cannot stand still. There is a drift one way or the other.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from Spurgeon on Praise
“They shall be filled.” God never bids us seek Him in vain. “He hath filled the hungry with good things” (Luke 1:53). “He satisfieth the longing soul” (Psalm 107:9). God will not let us lose our longing.
– Thomas Watson –
1620-1686
With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.
– AW Tozer –
Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
– Oswald Chambers –
Too busy; O forgive, Dear Lord, that I should ever be, too much engrossed in earthly tasks, to spend an hour with thee.
– AB Christiansen –
Faith is a living and unshakable confidence — a belief in God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.
– Martin Luther –
Let this one great, gracious, glorious fact lie in your spirit until it permeates all your thoughts and makes you rejoice even though you are without strength. Rejoice that the Lord Jesus has become your strength and your song—He has become your salvation.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Beware in your prayers, above everything else, of limiting God, not only by unbelief, but by fancying that you know what He can do.
– Andrew Murray –
Every work of God can be traced to some kneeling form.
