• “I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love, or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me, that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own, than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

October 6 – Daily Strength for Daily Needs

_I had fainted, unless I bad believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living_–PS. xxvii. 13.
I will surely do thee good.–GEN. xxxii. 12.

Thou know’st not what is good for thee, But God doth know,– Let Him thy strong reliance be, And rest thee so.
C. F. GELLERT.
Let us be very careful of thinking, on the one hand, that we have no work assigned us to do, or, on the other hand, that what we have assigned to us is not the right thing for us. If ever we can say in our hearts to God, in reference to any daily duty, “This is not my place; I would choose something dearer; I am capable of something higher;” we are guilty not only of rebellion, but of blasphemy. It is equivalent to saying, not only, “My heart revolts against Thy commands,” but “Thy commands are unwise; Thine Almighty guidance is unskilful; Thine omniscient eye has mistaken the capacities of Thy creature; Thine infinite love is indifferent to the welfare of Thy child.”
ELIZABETH CHARLES.

  • “God, I want to know more of You. I want to know more of Your ways. I want to know anything You want to show me through this. But if I have to live with mystery and unanswered questions the rest of my life, I will still trust You. I will still love You. I will still obey You.” – Nancy Leigh DeMoss
