• All men, whether idolaters, or whether knowing the true God, alike have a constant preoccupation with death. Having no other hope than that of visible things, they are profoundly tried by the thought that they may be obliged to leave these, to say nothing of the uncertainty as to the future that fills their spirit.

• A sun-worshipper, receiving no answer from his god, preferred to address himself to the man of God who was there in the way before him. He wants to consult the Lord through him, not to find an answer for the needs of his conscience, but only to know if his life will be prolonged. (“Ben-Hadad and Hazael: 2 Kings 8:7-15” by H.L. Rossier)
