As far as sacred Scripture is concerned, however much froward men try to gnaw at it, nevertheless it clearly is crammed with thoughts that could not be humanly conceived.

Consequently, those for whom prophetic doctrine is tasteless ought to be thought of as lacking taste buds (John Calvin Quotes)

For until men recognize that they owe everything to God, that they are nourished by His fatherly care, that He is the Author of their every good, that they should seek nothing beyond Him - they will never yield Him willing service.

We are promised abundance of all good things--yet we are rich only in hunger and thirst. What would become of us if we did not take our stand on hope, and if our heart did not hasten beyond this world! (John Calvin Quotes)
Nevertheless, our constant efforts to lower our estimate of the present world should not lead us to hate life or to be ungrateful toward God. For this life, though it is full of countless miseries, deserves to be reckoned among the divine blessings which should not be despised. Therefore, if we discover nothing of God’s goodness in it, we are already guilty of no small ingratitude toward him (John Calvin Quotes)
We must resist wandering thoughts in prayer. Raising our hands reminds us that we need to raise up our minds to God, setting aside all irrelevant thoughts (John Calvin Quotes)
But we have nothing of the Spirit except through regeneration. Everything, therefore, which we have from nature is flesh (John Calvin Quotes)
Let us fall before the majesty of our great God, acknowledging our faults, and praying that he will make us ever more conscious of them (John Calvin Quotes)
