“But when believers try to live in their own strength, they are easily defeated. The arm of the flesh can never save us from troubles. When the godly entrust themselves to God, however, he will empower them to stand strong in their troubles and deliver them to safety. In every trial and difficulty, believers need not fear. Instead, they should trust the Lord. Such faith, when tested and toughened in the flames of adversity, results in victory and deliverance.” (Page 32)

“Compared to God, man is an insignificant creature in the universe—small and weak” (Page 51)

“Who is spiritually qualified to fellowship with this awesome king?” (Page 134)

“The greatness of God is seen in his loving attention toward people who are so miniscule when compared to him. Finite man, David said, is nothing compared to the infinite God.” (Page 51)

“The godly are abundantly blessed because they do not live according to the sinful philosophies, practices, or associations of fallen men but are deeply rooted in God’s Word.” (Page 14)
