Quote of the Day

"Unbelief is continually starting objections, magnifying and multiplying difficulties. But faith in the power and promises of God inspires a noble simplicity, and casts every care upon Him, who is able and has engaged to support and provide. Thus, when Abraham, at the Lord's call, forsook his country and his father's house, the Apostle observes, 'he went out, not knowing wither he went.' It was enough that he knew whom he followed: the all-sufficient God who was his guide, his shield, and his exceeding great reward. So, when exercised with long waiting for the accomplishment of a promise, he staggered not - he did not dispute or question - but simply depended upon God, who had spoken, and was able to perform. So likewise, when he received the hard command to offer up his son...he simply obeyed, and depended upon the Lord to make good his own word...In this spirit David went forth to meet Goliath, and overcame him: and thus the three worthies were unwed by the threats of Nebuchadnezzar, and rather chose to be cast into a burning furnace than to sin agains the Lord. And thus Elijah, in a time of famine, was preserved from anxiety and want, and supported by extraordinary methods."
