Matthew Henry Quotes and Quotations
I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before; second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life; third, because although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed. Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor. We read of preaching the Word out of season, but we do not read of praying out of season, for that is never out of season. Prayer time must be kept up as duly as meal-time. It is good for us to keep some account of our prayers, that we may not unsay them in our practice. God's promises are to be our pleas in prayer. Those who complain most are most to be complained of. To fish in troubled waters. None so deaf as those that will not hear. Hypocrites do the devil's drudgery in Christ's livery. |
