Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come
unto thee.

JOB 12:21

DON'T be unwise enough to think that we are serving God best by constant
activity at the cost of headaches and broken rest. I am getting to be of
the opinion that we may be doing too much. We want at least this is my
own want--a higher quality of work. Our labor should be to maintain
unbroken communion with our blessed Lord; then we shall have entire
rest, and God abiding in us; that which we do will not be ours, but His.

JOHN KENNETH MACKENZIE

OUR object in life should not be so much to get through a great deal of
work, as to give perfect satisfaction to Him for whom we are doing the
work.

WM. HAY M. H. AITKEN

Let me not seek out of Thee what I can only find in Thee, peace and rest
and joy and bliss, which abide only in Thy abiding joy. Lift up my soul
above the weary round of harassing thoughts to Thy eternal Presence.
Lift up my soul to the pure, bright, clear, serene, radiant atmosphere
of Thy Presence, that there I may breathe freely, there repose in Thy
love, there be at rest from myself and from all things that weary me;
thence return, arrayed with Thy peace, to do and bear what shall please
Thee.
