2One of the main reasons we so often fail to have consistent habits of happy, fruitful prayer is simply that we don’t plan to.
God takes out our old proud hearts and gives new soft ones, which are easily humbled and crushed by the sin that remains.
The very heart of God’s glory is the fullness of grace that overflows in kindness to needy people.
God aims to be our servant, because he aims to get the glory as the Giver.
God is glorified when we turn away from ourselves to him in the confidence that he will provide the help we need.
The greatest news is that the cross upholds the worth of God’s glory, the honor of his Son, and the eternal salvation of his elect.
The good news is that God himself has decreed a way to satisfy the demands of his justice without condemning the whole human race.
All the omnipotent energy that drives the heart of God to pursue his own glory also drives him to satisfy the hearts of those who seek their joy in him.
Be freed from the burden of bearing your own load. Let God do that work. God loves to show his God-ness by working for us.
When we share in the happiness of God, we share in the very pleasure that the Father has in the Son.
When you lay down the burden of vengeance, God will pick it up.
Imagine being able to enjoy what is most enjoyable with unbounded energy and passion forever. One day, God’s delight in his Son will be in us.
God does not need us. Instead, his infinite self-sufficiency spills over in love to us who need him.
If none of God’s purposes can be frustrated, then he must be the happiest of all beings.
The quest for joy is not optional, but commanded.
Joy is not a mere option alongside worship. It is an essential component of worship.
Take up the Bible, ask the Holy Spirit for help, lay the promises up in your heart, and fight the good fight — to live by faith in future grace.
God’s greatest interest is to glorify the wealth of his grace by making sinners happy in him.
The truth of Christ frees us from the slavery of sin, for the freedom of holiness.
Confidence in God’s absolute control is the source and power of radical obedience to the call of God.
