“Do as thou hast said.” ~ 2 Samuel 7:25 ~ God’s promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; He intended that they should be used.

“Continue in prayer.”~ Colossians 4:2 ~ IT is interesting to remark how large a portion of Sacred Writ is occupied with the subject of prayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises.

“Rend your heart, and not your garments.” ~ Joel 2:13 ~ Garment-rending and other outward signs of religious emotion, are easily manifested and are frequently hypocritical; but to feel true repentance is far more difficult, and consequently far less common.
