God's Will

As a jury, in a criminal case, may receive impressions in the progress of the trial, but should feel bound to suspend judgment until the whole facts of the case are submitted; so nothing can warrant us in pronouncing upon the ways of God till we either see them finished, or understand their import by a revelation from himself. [JJTP]

We should expect God to deal with us, in a way incomprehensible, if we did but remember how long, sordid, and narrow are our views and plans, and how holy, glorious, and eternal are his purposes and designs. [JJTP]

When we are so far satisfied with the government of Christ’s Spirit that we are willing to resign up ourselves to him in all things, then his kingdom is come to us, and our wills are brought to his will. [TBR]

It is not the knowledge of the will of God, but our sincerely complying therewith, that proves we fear the Lord.  [TFOG]

God governs by a plan, which is never altered simply because it is his plan, and therefore can never be improved.  [JJTP]

Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the contentment in knowing that, even in the conflict, I am in the will of God.
