GOOD MORNING SAINTS!

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"We know that all things work together for good to them that love God." The Christian does not merely hold this as a theory, but he knows it as a matter of fact."

[where HE leads me]

"Say not my soul, 'From whence can God relieve my care?' Remember that Omnipotence has servants everywhere. His method is sublime, his heart profoundly kind, God never is before his time, and never is behind."

There are times when I wonder why I went through all the trials I went through, and wonder why God took so long bringing me to the truth, but then I am reminded that everything happened just on God's schedule. I was brought out of darkness exactly when God planned, and for that I give glory!

[Kitty Mittens]

It is a cowardly pride which would choose a downy pillow and a silken couch for a soldier of the cross. Wiser far is he who, being first resigned to the divine will, groweth by the energy of grace to be pleased with it, and so learns to gather lilies at the cross foot, and, like Samson, to find honey in the lion.

Both of these Devotionals are Bread to a Hungry Soul, and Convicting to the Heart, Also.

May Blessing and Peace of Heart be your Rich Gifts from God our Father, and from Jesus Christ our Lord. (1Thess.1:1)
