For A Beggar To Live At Court

We Fear Men So Much, Because We Fear God So Little.

The Possessions God Allows Us To Have Are Intended For Our Use, Not Our Enjoyment. Trying To Squeeze Something Out Of Them That Was Never In Them In The First Place Is A Futile Endeavor. A Cow's Udders, Gently Pressed, Will Yield Sweet Milk, Nourishing And Refreshing. Applying More And More Pressure Will Not Produce Greater Quantities Of Milk. We Lose The Good Of Material Things By Expecting Too Much From Them. Those Who Try Hardest To Please Themselves With Earthly Goods Find The Least Satisfaction In Them.

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).

The Christian, Like A Chalice Without A Base, Cannot Stand On His Own Nor Hold What He Has Received Any Longer That God Holds Him In His Strong Hands.

The Storm May Be Tempestuous, But It Is Only Temporary.
