No company like good books, especially the book of God.
Matthew HenryA modest dress is a very good thing, if it be the genuine indication of a humble heart, and is to instruct; but it is a bad thing if it be the hypocritical disguise of a proud ambitious heart, and is to deceive. Let men be really as good as they seem to be, but not seem to be better than really they are.
Matthew HenryGratior est pulchro veniens de corpore virtus—Virtue appears peculiarly graceful when associated with beauty.
Matthew HenryWe must believe that He is able to do what He will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His promise, to do what is best for us, if we love Him, and serve Him.
Matthew HenryCast not away your confidence because God defers his performances. That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in his time, which is always the more convenient season. God will work when he pleases, how he pleases, and by what means he pleases. He is not bound to keep our time, but he will perform his work, honor our faith, and reward them that diligently seek him.
Matthew HenryGod’s work must be done, in every thing, according to his own will. His institutions neither need nor admit men’s inventions to make them either more beautiful or more likely to answer the intention of them. 'Add thou not unto his words.' God is pleased with willing worship, but not with will-worship.
Matthew HenryTake Jesus for your king, and by baptism swear allegiance to him; take him for your prophet, and hear him; take him for your priest, to make atonement for you.
Matthew HenryTo wait on God is to live a life of desire towards him, delight in him, dependence on him, and devotedness to him.
Matthew HenryWhen God intends great mercy for his people, he first of all sets them praying.
Matthew HenryNo man will say, "There is no God" 'till he is so hardened in sin that it has
become his interest that there should be none to call him to account.
