I would rather obey than work miracles.

( Luther.)Wicked men obey for fear, but the good for love.

(.)All God's biddings are enablings, says an early Christian writer. An obedient soul is like a crystal glass with a light in the midst, which shines forth through every part thereof.

( T. Brooks.)A soul sincerely obedient will not pick and choose what commands to obey, and what to reject, as hypocrites do.

(T. Brooks.)He praiseth God best that serveth and obeyeth Him most: the life of thankfulness consists in the thankfulness of the life.

( W. Burkitt.)The knowing of God, that we may serve Him, and the serving Him, that we may enjoy Him, take up the whole duty of man's obedience.

(Herle.)Jesus Christ intended, when He opened your eyes, that your eyes should direct your feet. Light is a special help to obedience, and obedience is a singular help to increase your light.

( J. Flavel.)A man sincerely obedient lays such a charge upon his whole man as Mary, the mother of Christ, did upon all the servants at the feast: "Whatsoever the Lord saith unto you, do it."

( T. Brooks.)
