God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supplies.

Call often to mind that proverb, “That the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing” (Ecclesiastes 1:8). Endeavor therefore to withdraw thy heart from the love of visible things, and to turn thyself to the invisible. For they that follow their sensuality, do stain their own consciences, and lose the favour of God.
– Thomas a Kempis –
from The Imitation of Christ
To see a man humble under prosperity is one of the greatest rarities in the world.
– John Flavel –
(1627-1691)
What labor and pains worldlings take to obtain the vain things of this life—to obtain the poor things of this world, which are but shadows and dreams, and mere nothings!
– Thomas Brooks –
For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.
– Thomas a’ Kempis –
You had better be a poor man and a rich Christian, than a rich man and a poor Christian. You had better do anything, bear anything, and be anything rather than be a dwarf in grace.
