Returning to Work with Puritan Words

I wrote this on my Substack during winter break, but I find it just as helpful after returning from our short trip to San Francisco.

“I’ve been dreading going back to regular days after the winter break. Here are quotes that inspired me upon returning to work at the start of the new year. I hope they bless you as you begin 2026! View on Instagram.”

• Every promise of God hath this consideration tacitly annexed to it — “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (John Owen)

• Thy best life now is to live upon the promise. (Isaac Watts)

• The way to increase faith is to apply to ourselves God’s promise in His word and sacraments by hearing the word, praying, meditation, conference, and the like. (Ezekiel Culverwell)

• Every day, every hour — nay, every moment of your present time — hath an influence upon your eternity. (John Flavel)
