“Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,Never foe can follow, never traitor stand,Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.Stayed upon God, hearts are fully blest,Finding as God promised, perfect peace and rest.”

“Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is.”

“God has made us for Himself, and our hearts can never know rest and perfect satisfaction until they find it in Him.”

“Bless God, he went as soldiers,His musket on his breast—Grant God, he charge the bravestOf all the martial blest!Please God, might I behold himIn epauletted white—I should not fear the foe then—I should not fear the fight!”

“The best things are never arrived at in haste. God is in no hurry; His plans are never rushed.”

“If you desire to find the true spirit of Christmas and partake of the sweetness of it, let me make this suggestion to you. During the hurry of the festive occasion of this Christmas season, find time to turn your heart to God. Perhaps in the quiet hours, and in a quiet place, and on your knees—alone or with loved ones—give thanks for the good things that have come to you, and ask that His Spirit might dwell in you as you earnestly strive to serve Him and keep His commandments. He will take you by the hand and His promises will be kept.”
