The Joy Which Answers To Prayer Give,

The Word Of God Is Our Only Standard, And The Holy Spirit Our Only Teacher.

God Delights To Increase The Faith Of His Children. We Ought, Instead Of Wanting No Trials Before Victory, No Exercise For Patience, To Be Willing To Take Them From God's Hands As A Means. Trials, Obstacles, Difficulties And Sometimes Defeats, Are The Very Food Of Faith.

Every Instance Of Obedience, From Right Motives, Strengthens Us Spiritually, Whilst Every Act Of Disobedience Weakens Us.

God Is Pleased Continually To Vary His Mode Of Dealing With Us, In Order That We May Not Be Tempted To Trust In Donors, Or In Circumstances, But In Him Alone, And To Keep Our Eye Fixed Upon Him.

If We Say We Trust In Him, But In Reality Do Not, Then God, Taking Us At Our Word, Lets Us See That We Do Not Really Confide In Him, And Hence Failure Arises.
