• “I entreat you, give no place to despondency. This is a dangerous temptation–a refined, not a gross temptation of the adversary. Melancholy contracts and withers the heart, and renders it unfit to receive the impressions of grace. It magnifies and gives a false colouring to objects, and thus renders your burdens too heavy to bear. God’s designs regarding you, and His methods of bringing about these designs, are infinitely wise.” – Madame Guyon

Joy and Strength 01/22

Then said I, Lo, I came…to do Thy will, O God.
Heb. X. 7.

Commit thy works unto the Lord.
Pro v. xvi. 3.

Oh, let Thy wisdom be my guide,
Nor take Thy light from me away;
Thy grace be ever at my side,
That from Thy path I may not stray;
But, feeling that Thy hand is o’er me.
In steadfast faith my course fulfil.
And keep Thy word, and do Thy will,
Thy love within, Thy heaven before me!
Wolfgang C. Dessler.

“I COME to do Thy will, O God.”
That is what we are here for, — to do God’s will. That is the object of your life and mine, — to do God’s will. Any of us can tell in a moment whether our lives are right or not. Are we doing God’s will ? We do not mean. Are we doing God’s work? — preaching, or teaching, or collecting money, — but God’s will, A man may think he is doing God’s work when he is not even doing God’s will. And a man may be doing God’s work and God’s will quite as much by hewing stones, or sweeping streets, as by preaching or praying. So the question means just this, Are we working out our common every-day life on the great lines of God’s will?
Henry Drummond.
