We are not permitted to view the future providences of God; we know not whither its wheel may next turn.

"The Lord trieth the righteous:" Psalm 11:5
Those who seek after the holiness and righteousness of God to rule in their lives must not shy away from the afflictions and trials allowed/sent by the Lord.
"All events are under the control of Providence; consequently all the trials of our outward life are traceable at once to the great First Cause.

A WOMAN’S QUESTION
Do you know you have asked for the costliest thing
Ever made by the hand above?
A woman’s heart, and a woman’s life–
And a woman’s wonderful love.
Do you know you have asked for this priceless thing
As a child might ask for a toy?
Demanding what others have died to win
With the reckless dash of a boy.
You have written my lesson of Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00230090314396936930noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640357378063231213.post-86772739317671080172010-04-08T22:26:00.001-04:002010-04-08T22:28:48.911-04:00A Tautological Phrase“Life-Long Marriage” a Tautological Phrase
Just recently, I wrote the phrase ‘life-long marriage’ for the first time. It is a phrase I was very familiar with, and had even used. But I had never written it before. And when I did, I had to stop and consider it because of the thought that came to mind. The thought was this: “God never used the phrase ‘life-long marriage’.

Being born again is not first a change of name, but of heart and thus nature. When the new heart and nature is what is vital, how sad it is that so few seek it, but claim the name! "To wash and dress a corpse is a far different thing from making it alive: man can do the one, God alone can do the other."

Wait
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate…
And the Master so gently said, “Wait.”
“Wait? You say wait?” my indignant reply.
“Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not hear?
By faith I have asked, and I’m claiming your Word.
