If We Hold Fast Our Confidence In

It Is Not Enough To Begin To Pray, Nor To Pray Aright; Nor Is It Enough To Continue For A Time To Pray; But We Must Patiently, Believingly, Continue In Prayer Until We Obtain An Answer; And Further We Have Not Only To Continue In Prayer Unto The End, But We Have Also To Believe That God Does Hear Us, And Will Answer Our Prayers. Most Frequently We Fail In Not Continuing In Prayer Until The Blessing Is Obtained, And In Not Expecting The Blessing.

When Sight Ceases, It Is The Time For Faith To Work. The Greater The Difficulties, The Easier It Is For Faith. As Long As Human Possibilities For Success Remain, Faith Does Not Accomplish Things As Easily As When All Natural Prospects Fail.

It Often Astonishes Me That I Did Not See The Importance Of Meditation Upon Scripture Earlier In My Christian Life. As The Outward Man Is Not Fit For Work For Any Length Of Time Unless He Eats, So It Is With The Inner Man. What Is The Food For The Inner Man? Not Prayer, But The Word Of God -not The Simple Reading Of The Word Of God, So That It Only Passes Through Our Minds, Just As Water Runs Through A Pipe. No, We Must Consider What We Read, Ponder Over It, And Apply It To Our Hearts.

Money Is Really Worth No More Than As It Can Be Used To Accomplish The Lord's Work. Life Is Worth As Much As It Is Spent For The Lord's Service.

Now What Is Food For The Inner Man? Not Prayer, But The Word Of God; And Here Again, Not The Simple Reading Of The Word Of God, So That It Only Passes Through Our Minds, Just As Water Passes Through A Pipe, But Considering What We Read, Pondering It Over And Applying It To Our Hearts.
