In The Hands Of Our Lord

My Utmost For His Highest
 
‘Perseverance means more than endurance— more than simply holding on until the end. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, […] Faith is not some weak and pitiful emotion, but is strong and vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love. And even though you cannot see Him right now and cannot understand what He is doing, you know Him.’ CHAMBERS
 
Do you see yourself as an arrow?  Are you willing to be “shot” wherever God pleases?  That requires faith and trust.  Something that goes far beyond the human will … it is dependent upon spiritual strength and maturity that comes from an abiding relationship with the Lord.  Don’t expect to make withdrawals if you have not made any deposits … don’t expect to exercise faith when you have not nurtured that faith.
