I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil. - My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. How precious...are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. - LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. - Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward.

The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Saving Faith Chapter 14 PARAGRAPH 1 The grace of faith, whereby the elect are enabled to believe to the saving of their souls, is the work of the Spirit of Christ in their hearts, (1) and is ordinarily wrought by the ministry of the Word; (2) by which also, and by the administration of baptism and the Lord's supper, prayer, and other means appointed of God, it is increased and strengthened.

An old minister says, A child can carry little water from the sea in its two hands, and so it is little we get out of Christ. There are unsearchable riches in Him. Be strong in the grace that is in Him. Live out of yourself, and live upon Him; go and tell Him, that, since He requires all this of thee, He must give thee grace according to your need. My God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. He hath shown you one that is good, even the fair Immanuel: now lean upon Him; get life from Him that shall never die; get living water from Him that shall never dry up. Let His hand hold you up amid the billows of this tempestuous sea. Let His shoulder carry you over the thorns of this wilderness. Look as much to Him for sanctification as for justification. So will your walk be close with God, Calm and serene your frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads you to the Lamb.
