Onward, soldiers of the cross, where Jesus has led the way. The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath you are the everlasting arms. You are not called upon to go a warfare at your own charges, neither are you left alone in the battle: the banner which waves over you bears the soul-assuring motto, “Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord will provide.”
– Charles Spurgeon –
Why do we expect to be better treated in this world than Jesus was?
– Leonard Ravenhill –
A test of a Christian’s character is what he does after he comes to the blockade in the road and what his attitude is after everything has left him except Jesus. You will never know down here that Christ is all you need until Christ is all you have left. You will never be able to tell the world for sure that He will do in a crisis unless you learn how to live in a crisis.
– Lester Roloff –
Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
We have a God who delights in impossibilities.
– Billy Sunday –
We never test the resources of God until we attempt the
IMPOSSIBLE.
– FB Meyer –
I have found that there are three stages in every great work of
God: first, it is impossible, then it is difficult, then it is done.
– Hudson Taylor –
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath; it is called “the rejoicing of hope” (Hebrews 3:6).
– William Gurnall –
A soul may be in as thriving a state when thirsting, seeking and mourning after the Lord as when actually rejoicing in Him; as much in earnest when fighting in the valley as when singing upon the mount.
– John Newton –
