Bible verse and quote
by Jan Couns
(He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;) He enables me to stand (remain, endure, take one's stand) on the heights. 2 Samuel 22:34b
Apart from grace-driven effort, people . drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated. D.A. Carson, For the Love of God, Cited in "Reflections," Christianity Today July 31,2000
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 2 Samuel 22:35
God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain. C.S. Lewis, English apologist
You protect me with salvation-armor. 2 Samuel 22:36a
The grace that saves us sustains us. David Jeremiah 1941, Christian Preacher

God works powerfully, but for the most part gently and gradually. John Newton, 1725–1807
You broaden the path beneath me, so that my ankles do not turn. 2 Samuel 22:37
