All to Jesus Quotes

“The ultimate philosophical truth is this: Without Christ, all is vanity even when it’s easy; with Him, all is well even when it’s hard.”

“Psalm 23 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life. Psalm 23:6 The end of Psalm 23 sums up its message, that goodness and mercy follows us throughout life and into eternity. The old divines called them God’s two sheepdogs that constantly circle, herd, tend, and protect us every day. Taken altogether, Psalm 23 promises: God’s Peace in Life’s Meadows: “The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the quiet waters. He renews my life.” His Plan for Life’s Pathways: “He leads me along the right paths for His name’s sake.” His Presence in Life’s Valleys: “Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.” (Here the pronoun changes to the first person: In verses 1–3, it’s “He leads . . . He restores.” In verses 4–6, it’s “You are with me; Your rod and Your staff.”) His Provision on Life’s Tableland: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” His Promises for Life’s Journey: “Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD as long as I live.” Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me; And in God’s house forevermore my dwelling place shall be. —The Scottish Psalter”

“Psalm 145 shows us we’re right in the middle of God’s love. He is great and greatly to be praised (v. 3). His greatness is unsearchable (v. 3), and we should declare His greatness (v. 6). He is great in mercy, and His compassions are over all His works (vv. 8–9). He upholds all who fall and raises all who are bowed down (v. 14). He provides our needs (v. 16). He is righteous in all His ways and gracious in all His works. He is near to all who call upon Him, and He preserves all who love Him (vv. 17–20). Reading Psalm 145 is like climbing above the tree line and taking in the breathtaking view of God’s compassion, love, and tender mercies—and finding ourselves right in the middle of it all.”

“Psalm 119:57–64 The LORD is my portion; I have promised to keep Your words. I have sought Your favor with all my heart. Psalm 119:57–58 How would you fill in this blank: The Lord is my __________. Various characters in the Bible answered that question in different ways: Moses said, “The LORD is my strength and my song. . . . The LORD is my banner” (Exod. 15:2; 17:15). The psalmist said, “The LORD is my refuge” (Ps. 94:22). Isaiah said, “God is my salvation” (Isa. 12:2). Jeremiah wrote, “The LORD is my portion” (Lam. 3:24). The writer of Hebrews said, “The Lord is my helper” (Heb. 13:6). David said, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold ” (Ps. 18:2). And we all say, “The LORD is my shepherd ” (Ps. 23:1). The old-time Christians had a phrase for all this. When we seek Him with all our hearts, Jesus becomes our “all-in-all.” He fills all our lives, meets all our needs, and claims all our affections. Jesus only, Jesus ever, Jesus all in all we sing, Savior, Sanctifier, and Healer, Glorious Lord and coming King. —A. B. Simpson”

“Remember that the Lord has given you many signs through the years of His faithfulness. He has recorded hundreds of promises in His Book. The tokens of His love and grace are beyond number. He has never failed us yet. We can trust Him with loose ends, unsolved problems, and unresolved chords. He expects us to depend on Him with life’s outstanding issues.”

“I believe God’s guidance is detailed, daily, personal, unfailing, and preplanned, as Psalm 139:16 says: “All my days were written in Your book and planned before a single one of them began.” If He has planned all my days, I should acknowledge Him in all my ways.”
