Daily Cheer for All the YearShow me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths.— Ps. xxv, 4.
O Father, hear!
The way is dark, and I would fain discern
What steps to take, into which path to turn;
O make it clear
Christian Intelligencer.
There is no authority short of God. Look up to Him, expect His teachings. And though clouds of uncertainty may come, never let them make you turn your eyes away in discouragement, or think that on the earth you can find that guidance which is not a thing of earth, but which must come to us from heaven.
PHILLIPS BROOKS.
It is not always easy to discern the will of God; but if the fountain of our life is kept pure, the water of life must flow from it and our day's work contribute to the great stream of life that flows out from the City of God for the healing of the nations; and in this stream all our own little trials get turned into gold.
