Charles Spurgeon Quotes

We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not

We are apt to believe in Providence so long as we have our own way; but if things go awry, then we think, if there is a God, he is in heaven, and not on earth.

Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.

Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led - but it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of FAITH, not of understanding and reason- - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me...you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.

God will always make a way where there is no way.

God offers us counsel not just for our own safety, but for the safety of His other children, whom we should love. There are few comforts so sweet as to know that we have been an instrument in the hands of God in leading someone else to safety. That blessing generally requires the faith to follow counsel when it is hard to do.

God wills in man only that which is good, in the kingdom of his grace; where the free will yields itself up into the grace, there God wills that which is good in the will, through the grace.

God does not begin by asking our ability, only our availability, and if we prove our dependability, He will increase our capability.

Twasn't me, 'twas the Lord! I always told Him, 'I trust to you. I don't know where to go or what to do, but I expect You to lead me,' an' He always did.

Let God's promises shine on your problems.

Sometimes I haven't understood why he has done things and why things happened, but I know that God has a plan.

I'm trusting in the Lord and a good lawyer.

Act, and God will act.

Ruthless trust ultimately comes down to this: faith in the person of Jesus and hope in his promise.

Faith came by just believing God's word and taking Him up on His word.

God will open any doors he wants to open, and if He closes doors, that's fine, too.
