Everything we encounter today is used by God to prepare us for tomorrow. he wastes no trials, withholds no blessings, nor does he hold back on the discipline of his soldiers. All he does prepares us for future usefulness as vessels of honor.

Quote of the Day
What I most desired Thou hast
denied, yet I praise Thee: On what
account, I know not, yet I praise Thee: Thou hast done it; that silences me.
Thy will makes it indisputable, and renders it my indispensable duty to fall in
with it….But what matters it how the affairs of a present world go, if the
interests of the next world are secured?....what avails it though the outward
man decay, if the inner man grow? Though the temporal condition be perplexed,
if the conscience be possessed of spiritual peace? I praise Thee that Thou
interposest Thy providence, even in disappointing my enterprises; and dost not
give me up to the blind desires of mine own heart, and to wander at random in
counsels of mine own. I can resolve the
present case into nothing but Thy will; yet I rejoice more to fall in with Thy
will, and to be submissive to Thy disposal, than to have my will in every point
performed...

Quote of the Day
Providence is
wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you
not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to
see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it. You want to see
how it can bring good to the soul; you may be enabled in a little time; but you
cannot see it now; you must believe it. Honor God by trusting Him.

Quote of the Day
It is by no means pleasant when
reading an interesting article in your magazine to
find yourself pulled up short with the
ominous words, “to be continued.” Yet they are
words of good cheer if applied to
other matters. What a comfort to remember that the
Lord’s mercy and lovingkindness is to
be continued! Much as we have experienced in
the long years of our pilgrimage, we
have by no means outlived eternal love.
Providential goodness is an endless
chain, a stream which follows the pilgrim, a
wheel perpetually revolving, a star
for ever shining, and leading us to the place
where he is who was once a babe in
Bethlehem. All the volumes which record the
doings of divine grace are but part of
a series to be continued.
