...When we are waiting upon God to bless us, we should stir up ourselves to bless him.
Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry
Image
I thank Thee first because I was never robbed before second, because although they took my purse they did not take my life third, because although they took my all, it was not much and fourth because it was I who was robbed, and not I who robbed.
Matthew Henry
Image
Those who will not deliver themselves into the hand of God's mercy cannot be delivered out of the hand of His justice.
Matthew Henry

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
Men may die like lambs and yet have their place forever with the goats.
Matthew Henry
Image
That which is won ill, will never wear well, for there is a curse attends it, which will waste it and the same corrupt dispositions which incline men to the sinful ways of getting, will incline them to the like sinful ways of spending.
Matthew Henry
