• “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

May 22 – Daily Strength for Daily Needs

_He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty_.–PS. xci. I.

They who on the Lord rely, Safely dwell though danger’s nigh; Lo! His sheltering wings are spread O’er each faithful servant’s head. When they wake, or when they sleep, Angel guards their vigils keep; Death and danger may be near, Faith and love have nought to fear.
HARRIET AUBER.
“There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling,” is a promise to the fullest extent verified in the case of all “who dwell in the secret place of the Most High.” To them sorrows are not “evils,” sicknesses are not “plagues;” the shadow of the Almighty extending far around those who abide under it, alters the character of all things which come within its influence.
ANON.
It is faith’s work to claim and challenge loving-kindness out of all the roughest strokes of God.
S. RUTHERFORD.

  • “How different the world would look, how different the state of our nation would be, if there were more sanctified priestly souls! These are souls who have the power to bless, for they intercede with sanctified hearts. They never begin their daily time of intercessory prayer without having first brought to the cross all that is unholy in their lives, so that their old self can be crucified there with Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb.” – Basilea Schlink
