The Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory; no
good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly.

PSALMS 84:11

JUST to trust Him, this is all!

Then the day will surely be

Peaceful, whatsoe'er befall,

Bright and blessed, calm and free.

FRANCES R. HAVERGAL

WHAT we should do is really, very often, to be still. And if we want
something to make us more active and energetic, watchful and holy, I
know but one thought, that is faith,--faith producing love. More trust
and confidence and joy in God would be the secret--the only true or
successful secret--of more goodness. And this should come quietly and
calmly, not in great effort; this kingdom of God has come not with
observation. Rest and quiet growth are what you want.

JAMES HINTON

Open wide every avenue of your being to receive the blessed influences
your Divine Husbandman may bring to bear upon you. Bask in the sunshine
of His love. Drink in of the waters of His goodness. Keep your face
upturned to Him. You need make no efforts to grow. But let your efforts
instead be all concentrated on this, that you abide in the Vine.
