It is not enough for us to be where God is worshipped, if we do not ourselves worship him.

Matthew Henry
What God requires of us he himself works in us, or it is not done. He that commands faith, holiness, and love, creates them by the power of his grace going along with his word, that he may have all the praise.

The fear of God reigning in the heart is the beauty of the soul.

Matthew Henry
No man will say, "There is no God" 'till he is so hardened in sin that it has become his interest that there should be none to call him to account.

Matthew Henry
To wait on God is to live a life of desire toward Him, delight in Him, dependence on Him, and devotedness to Him.

Matthew Henry
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
Those will soon come to make nothing of God that will not be content to make him their all.
