Inspirational Quotes by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

“God comforts us not to make us comfortable but to make us comforters. John Henry Jowett”
“Remember, the very time for faith to work is when our sight begins to fail. And the greater the difficulties, the easier it is for faith to work, for as long as we can see certain natural solutions to our problems, we will not have faith. Faith never works as easily as when our natural prospects fail. George Mueller”
“The greatest victory of faith is to stand at the shore of the impassable Red Sea and to hear the Master say, “Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today” (Ex. 14:13),”
“Be ready in the morning, and come up . . . present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. And no man shall come up with thee (Exod. 34:2–3).”
“Our God is “the Lord of hosts” (Isa. 10:16 KJV), who can summon unexpected reinforcements at any moment to help His people. Believe that He is between you and your difficulty, and what troubles you will flee before Him, as clouds in the wind. F. B. Meyer”
