“There
are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than
speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God,
and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in
his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the
real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they
hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they
neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They
love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they
will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree,
but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not
stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .” By Charles H.
Spurgeon

essential to the growth of political and social awareness. Only he who is

comments can errors be corrected and progress stimulated.” By Emperor

God
can only be known by means of a supernatural revelation of Himself Apart from
the Scriptures, even a theoretical acquaintance with Him is impossible. It
still holds true that 'the world by wisdom knew not God' (I Cor. 1:21). Where
the Scriptures are ignored, God is "the unknown God' (Acts 17:23). The one who has
been favored with this supernatural experience of the presence of God, has
learned that only 'in thy light shall we see light' (Ps. 36:9).
Lastly,
always remember when you are put to the test, God is your protection and light
in darkness. Yes, He longs to be your joy in times of sorrow, even today and
tomorrow.
God is the joy and the strength of your life; He moves all pain, misery, and
strife.
He promised to keep you, never to leave you, He's never ever come short of His
word.
Always remember to fast and pray, stay in His narrow way. Keep your life clean
through Christ everyday; Never lose hope to go with Him when He comes back, you
have come too far and I'll never turn back.
God is (5 xs).
God is He said you’re all in all.
