Status Updates From God's Light on Dark Clouds

So good

“The bitter cups we tried to push away contained the medicines we most needed. The hardest lessons that we learn are those which teach us the most and best fit us for service here and glory hereafter.”

“God’s people are never so exalted as when they are brought low, never so enriched as when they are emptied, never so advanced as when they are set back by adversity, never so near the crown as when under the cross. One of the sweetest enjoyments of heaven will be to review our own experiences under this law of compensations, and to see how often affliction worked out for us the exceeding weight of glory.”

Some nuggets:
“Faith carries present loads and meets present assaults and feeds on present promises, and commits the future to a faithful God. Its song is, ‘Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene; one step’s enough for me’”

“Trust God in the dark. We are safer with Him in the dark than without him in the sunshine”
