Daily Cheer for All the YearLet us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.—HEB. xii, 1, 2.
He doeth well who doeth his best;
He doeth well who strives;
Noblest efforts may sometimes fail,
Never noble lives.
Work the six days, pray all seven;
Trust the rest to the grace of Heaven.
He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper.
BURKE.
No man knows his powers, whether he is capable of great or only little things, until he has tested them by actual trial.
