[. . .] And that is the law of the kingdom—the King upon the throne, the servants upon the footstool.","author":"Andrew Murray","tags":["absolute-surrender","andrew-murray","prayer"],"id":45461,"author_id":"Andrew+Murray"},{"text":"Humiliation is the only ladder to honoring God's Kingdom.","author":"Andrew Murray","tags":["humiliation","humility","leadership","promotion"],"id":46053,"author_id":"Andrew+Murray"},{"text":"The great thing in prayer is to feel that we are putting our supplications into the bosom of omnipotent love.","author":"Andrew Murray","tags":["prayer"],"id":53769,"author_id":"Andrew+Murray"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":48,"pages":5,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
