• “Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.” – Elisabeth Elliot

Joy and Strength 07/10

Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Cor. xii. 9.

The Lord stood with me, and strengthened me.
2 Tim. iv. 17.

To His own the Saviour giveth
Daily strength;
To each troubled soul that liveth,
Peace at length.
Karl Rudolph Hagenbach.

REMEMBER that your work comes only moment by moment, and as surely as God calls you to work, He gives the strength to do it. Do not think in the morning, ” How shall I go through this day ? I have such-and-such work to do, and persons to see, and I have not strength for it.” No, you have not, for you do not need it. Each moment, as you need it, the strength will come, only do not look forward an hour; circumstances may be very different from what you expect. At any rate, you will be borne through each needful and right thing “on eagles’ wings.” Do not worry yourself with misgivings; take each thing quietly.
Priscilla Maurice.

God does not demand impossibilities.
St. Augustine.

  • “In case any are puzzled by the different translations from which I draw strength and help and delight, it is like this: In studying any object with the microscope we use different lenses and turn the mirror in various ways; each change brings out some new wonder and beauty. So it is for those who are not Greek or Hebrew scholars, and who use the work of scholars to open the meaning of the exhaustible Word–the Bible is richer than any single version can fully show.” – Amy Carmichael
