7 Quotes by Arthur Bennett

O God, make me worthy of this calling, that the name of Jesus may be glorified in me and I in him.

​Oh God, it is amazing that men can talk so much about man's creaturely power and goodness, when, if thou didst not hold us back every moment, we should be devils incar​​nate.

I am well pleased with Thy will, whatever it is, or should be in all respects, and if Thou bidst me decide for myself in any affair, I would choose to refer all to Thee, for Thou art infinitely wise and cannot do amiss, as I am in danger of doing. I rejoice to think that all things are at Thy disposal, and it delights me to leave them there. Then prayer turns wholly into praise, and all I can do is to adore and bless Thee.

Teach me to be resigned to thy will, to delight in thy law, to have no will but thine, to believe that everything thou doest is for my good." [pg. 132, Divine Promises]

O MY FORGETFUL SOUL,Awake from thy wandering dream;turn from chasing vanities,look inward, forward, upward,view thyself,reflect upon thyself,who and what thou art, why here,what thou must soon be.Thou art a creature of God,formed and furnished by him,lodged in a body like a shepherd in his tent;Dost thou not desire to know God’s ways?

Most men seem to live for themselves, without much or any regard for thy glory, or for the good of others; They earnestly desire and eagerly pursue the riches, honor, and pleasures of this life, as if they supposed that wealth, greatness, merriment, could make their immortal souls happy; But, alas, what false delusive dreams are these! And how miserable ere long will those be that sleep in them, for all out happiness consists in loving thee and being holy as thou art holy.

Work in me more profound and abiding repentance; Give me the fullness of godly grief, that trembles and fears, yet ever trust and loves, which is ever powerful, and ever confident; Grant through the tears of repentance I may see more clearly the brightness and glories of the saving cross.
