Thomas Doolittle on Christ as our Delight

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Friday, June 24, 2016 at 5:30 AM

"Is not Christ the most delightful good? Some delight in what they see, some in what they hear, some in what they taste, some in recreation, and some in notions, but the delight of Christ doth surpass them all. "

Thomas Doolittle


James Smith on Delighting in God

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Thursday, April 16, 2015 at 5:30 AM

“Delighting in God always produces resignation and holy contentment. Whatever they have — they enjoy it as the undeserved gift of God; and they feel obligated and thankful for all. They would rather be conformed to God's will — than have their own will. They know that His appointments are best — because they are infinitely wise, holy, and gracious. They can say, "I trust in You, O Lord, for You are my God! My times are in Your hand!" They find that godliness with contentment is great gain; and say with one of old, "The little that a righteous man has — is better than the riches of many wicked!" "Better a little with the fear of the Lord — than great treasure with turmoil.””

James Smith
