Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other.
Matthew Henry
Image
Be careful if you make a women cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man’s ribs. Not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal, under the arm to be protected, and next to the heart to be loved.
Matthew Henry
Image
No sooner was the wound given than the remedy was provided and revealed.
Matthew Henry
Image
Shallows where a lamb could wade and depths where an elephant would drown.
Matthew Henry
Image
Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.
Matthew Henry
Image
When God is about to give His people the expected good, He pours out a Spirit of prayer, and it is a good sign that He is coming towards them in mercy.
Matthew Henry
