Valuing God for His Own Sake
If we value God for His own sake, then the loss of other things will draw us all the closer to Him; we shall then have recourse to Him in time of trouble as to the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Those Who Did Great Things for God
All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they reckoned on His being with them.

No Disappointment in Christ
There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried in the will of God.

Overwhelming Grace
Grace overwhelms us with God’s love, and as a result our heart resonates with the desires of God. His purposes become our own. Our soul delights in his service as love for him and thanksgiving for his mercy make us long to honor him. True grace produces joy and promotes godliness.
Bryan Chapell, Holiness by Grace
HT: Reformed Quotes
All God’s Promises Will Be Fulfilled
God’s sovereignty means the good he intends for his children will not be deterred. This means we can face anything. All his promises to us will be fulfilled.
Confidence in the Sovereignty of God
Confidence in the sovereignty of God in all that affects us is crucial to our trusting Him. If there is a single event in all of the universe that can occur outside of God’s sovereign control, then we cannot trust Him. His love may be infinite, but if His power is limited and His purpose can be thwarted, we cannot trust Him. You may entrust to me your most valuable possessions. I may love you and my aim to honor your trust may be sincere, but if I do not have the power or ability to guard your valuables, you cannot truly entrust them to me.
God’s Unique Excellence
To glorify God is to magnify God’s unique excellence through our responses.
Scott Aniol, Worship in Song (Winona Lake, IN: BMH Books, 2009), 207.
Undisturbed Majesty
Amid all of the apparent defeats and inconsistencies of life, God actually moves on in undisturbed majesty.
God’s Attitude Toward Us
In this world where men forget us, change their attitude toward us as their private interests dictate, and revise their opinion of us for the slightest cause, is it not a source of wondrous strength to know that the God with whom we have to do changes not? That His attitude toward us now is the same as it was in eternity past and will be in eternity to come.
