Quote of the Day

"Many are the trials and exercises we must expect to meet with in our progress; but this one consideration outweighs them all. The Lord is on our side; and, if He be for us, none can be against us to harm us. In all these things we shall be more than conquerors, through Him that has loved us. Afflictions, though not in themselves joyous, but grievous, yet, when sanctified, are among our choice mercies; in due time they shall yield the peaceful fruits of righteousness; and even at present, they shall surely be attended with seasonable and sufficient supports...The promises are generally made to an afflicted state; and we could not taste their sweetness, nor experience their truth, if we were not sometimes brought into the circumstances to which they relate."
