Top Highlights
“When a man of God is surrounded by the enemies of the Lord, he may always have the assurance that the strength that is with him is infinitely greater than the strength of the enemy. When the armies of Sennacherib surrounded the city of Jerusalem and demanded surrender, Hezekiah spoke to his people a similar message of courage (2 Chron. 32:7, 8). The weakest child of God, seemingly alone and forsaken on earth, need never be afraid of all the forces the enemy may send against him. With God on his side he is more than a match for the mightiest hosts of evil.” (Page 884)
“The lesson for Joash is a lesson for all. Results in the work of the Lord are in direct proportion to the effort put forth. The Lord calls for earnest, persevering, continuous effort. The work lags because laborers in the vineyard of the Lord grow tired too soon. If every worker put all he had into the task of saving souls, results would be tenfold greater than they are today. God can achieve victories of grace through His servants only as they give themselves in complete consecration to Him and work with unflagging energy and zeal.” (Page 928)
“There would have been no healing if he had not seen light in the prophet’s words. But when he did according to the directions of the prophet, his leprosy was washed away. When God speaks through a prophet, it always pays to put aside one’s own opinion and accept the message of the Lord. Only thus may we find ourselves walking in the ways of God and partaking of His blessings.” (Page 877)
“Therefore when the townsfolk asked, ‘Is this Naomi?’ they were in effect exclaiming, ‘Is this Naomi, returning alone, as a widow?’ It seemed incredible that not only her husband but also both sons had died.” (Page 433)
