“Lord, give me a quiet heart
That doesn’t need to understand,
But, confident, walks forward in
The darkness, guided by your hand.”

Elisabeth Elliott

I love this woman’s wisdom, and that she did what she said. What wisdom caught your attention this week?

My girls are in public high school, which is always an adventure, but particularly so today, and I would love your prayers for all students today. Here is some more Elisabeth Elliott wisdom:

“There is only one classroom in which to learn:

The work of God
The will of God
The trustworthiness of God
The presence of God
The classroom is where I am now. This is the place appointed by God for my instruction and sanctification—even here:

“Where it seems God is doing nothing (He is, in fact, at work in unseen ways);
where His will seems obscure or frightening (He will surely give me peace at last);
where He isn’t doing what I want Him to (He is doing something better—preparing bread for me when what I asked was in actual fact a stone; or perhaps He is doing the very thing I prayed for, but in a way incomprehensible to me);
where He is most absent (yes, even there His promise holds: I will never leave you or forsake you.   My faith must seize that written Word regardless of the enemy’s taunt, “You’ve been abandoned”).
