Encouraging Words For the Weekend


"We cannot be useless while we are doing and suffering God's will, whatever it may be found to be. And we can always do that.
If we are bringing forth the fruits of the Spirit, we are not useless. And we can always do that.
If we are increasing in the knowledge of God's will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, we are not useless. And we can always do that.
While we pray we cannot be useless. And we can always do that.

God will always find us a work to do, a niche to fill, a place to serve, nay, even a soul to save, when it is His will, and not ours, that we desire to do; and if it should please Him that we should sit still for the rest of our lives, doing nothing else but waiting on Him and waiting for Him, why should we  complain? Here is the patience of the saints.

Anthony W. Thorold (1825-1895)

"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him."
  Psalm 37:7

Have a wonderful weekend, dear friends
