Matthew Henry
Image
The God of Israel is sometimes a God who hides Himself, but never a God who absents Himself sometimes in the dark, but never at a distance.
Matthew Henry
Image
No sooner was the wound given than the remedy was provided and revealed.
Matthew Henry
Image
A man that is endued with the powers of reason, by which he is capable of knowing, serving, glorifying, and enjoying his Maker, and yet lives without God in the world, is certainly the most despicable and the most miserable animal under the sun.
Matthew Henry
Image
The counsels and decrees of God do not truckle to the frail and fickle will of man.
Matthew Henry
Image
Take Jesus for your king, and by baptism swear allegiance to him take him for your prophet, and hear him take him for your priest, to make atonement for you.
Matthew Henry
Image
...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry
Image
. . . when we cannot do the good we would, we must be ready to do the good we can.
Matthew Henry
Image
What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.
Matthew Henry
Image
Men cannot expect to do ill and fare well, but to find that done to them which they did to others.
Matthew Henry
Image
Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart, opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word.
Matthew Henry
Image
The best we can say to God in prayer, is what He has said to us.
Matthew Henry
Image
It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).
Matthew Henry
Image
All this and heaven too.
Matthew Henry
Image
Poor people are as much in danger from an inordinate desire towards the wealth of the world as rich from an inordinate delight in it.
Matthew Henry
Image
We must believe that He is able to do what He will, wise to do what is best, and good, according to His promise, to do what is best for us, if we love Him, and serve Him.
Matthew Henry
