The Best Things 7

The best prayers are little prayers - Lord, help me; Lord, save me; Lord, remember me; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul through Jesus' Blood; God be merciful to me a sinner for Jesus' sake.  Look Thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, deliver my soul from death.  The best and most acceptable work in all the world is when you leave your own righteousness and love for sin, and come and trust to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

The best thing any sinner can ask for from God is Mercy through the Blood of Jesus.  Sometimes the best thing you can do is just go to bed and start over again in the morning.  Christ Jesus who is infinitely wise is the best Guide we can have in this life.  Often the best prayers are those that have no words.

The best way to live is to ask the Lord Jesus to make your choices for you.  The best news that any tongue could tell is this - Christ died for the ungodly, so He could give you free eternal life.  One of the best ways to worship God is to deny yourself, strive against your sins, and follow Jesus in your daily life.  Rejoicing in the Lord is one of the best preparations for the trials of this life.  The best sermons are preached with our feet, with our life, by our walk and conversation.

The best way to receive Christ is to receive Him.  Private purity is the best of wisdom.  The best revealer of the true God is the Holy Bible.  The best man is only a man at his best, and when a man is at his best, he is nothing but altogether vanity.  The best and safest path is following close to Jesus, as a little child follows his mother.  The best sweetener for troubles is meditation upon the Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus is not just good, but He is the best; and He is not only the best, He is the Best of the Best.

Jesus is the Best Physician for He heals all our soul's diseases.  The best way to spread the Gospel is to spread the Gospel.  The best answer for the gainsayers is to keep on witnessing for Jesus and doing good for His name's sake more than ever.  The best wisdom is to care much about pleasing God in all things.  The best hiding-place and resting-place for your soul is in Christ Jesus.  The best Quickener of your mind and spirit is the Holy Spirit.  When we think we haven't prayed at all, we have often prayed the best.  The best way to keep sin out of your heart is to keep it full of Christ and His words.  The best church service is when Jesus is there.
