Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. Psalm 33:12 When many believers allow God to work through them, the radiance of the church will grow stronger. Its beam of light will penetrate the darkness and provide the direction that our nation so desperately needs. Charles Stanley, b1933, First Baptist Church of Atlanta pastor


He . fashions the hearts of men, He . understands all their works. Psalm 33:15 We all come to prayer with a tangled mass of motives altruistic and selfish, merciful and hateful, loving and bitter. We will never unravel the good from the bad, the pure from the impure. God is big enough to receive us with all our mixture. That is what grace means, and not only are we saved by it, we live and pray by it as well. Richard J. Foster


The king is not saved by great force; a mighty man is not saved by great strength. Psalm 33:16 When a fail-safe system fails, it fails by failing to be fail-safe. The Fail-Safe Theorem

A horse is a false hope for deliverance; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. Psalm 33:17 The more men are surrounded with human protection, the more they withdraw themselves from God, and by a false imagination persuade themselves that they are in a haven safe from all disturbance. John Calvin

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear (awe) Him, On those who hope in His lovingkindness, Psalm 33:18 Grant us, we pray thee, a heart wide open to all this joy and beauty, and save our souls from being so steeped in care, or so darkened by passion that we pass heedless and unseeing when even the thorn bush by the wayside is aflame with the glory of God. Walter Rauschenbusch, 1861–1918
