A Few from Tumblr, Part Two

I thought I'd post a few more quotes and verses that I've enjoyed lately. These came off my Tumblr.
 

When the devil throws our sins up to us and declares we deserve death and hell, we ought to speak thus: ‘I admit that I deserve death and hell. What of it? Does this mean that I shall be sentenced to eternal damnation? By no means. For I know One who suffered and made a satisfaction in my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Where he is, there I shall be also.’

— Martin Luther
 

Teach me the happy art of attending to things temporal with a mind intent on things eternal.

— The Valley of Vision pg. 134 

The heart of God never does anything weakly; his love is strong and powerful, for it is the affection of an omnipotent spirit. Remember the words of the Lord Jesus — “As the Father hath loved me even so have I loved you.” Do you know how much the Father loves his Son? Can you form any conception? Are you not baffled in the attempt? “Even so,” saith Jesus, “have I loved you.

— Charles Spurgeon 

The wrong inference from God’s transcendence is that He is too great to care; the right one is that He is too great to fail.

— Derek Kidner

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

— Isaiah 40:28-31

I hope those encourage you today!
