Devotional
Wednesday
O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in
man that walketh to direct his steps. Jeremiah 10:23. I will direct
all his ways. Isaiah 45:13.
COME, Light serene and still! Our darkened spirits fill With thy
clear day: Guide of the feeble sight, Star of grief's darkest night,
Reveal the path of right, Show us Thy way.
ROBERT II. OF FRANCE.
THERE had been solemn appointed seasons in Anna's life, when she was
accustomed to enter upon a full and deliberate survey of her
business in this world. The claims of each relationship, and the
results of each occupation, were then examined in the light of
eternity. It was then, too, her fervent prayer to be enabled to
discern the will of God far more perfectly, not only in the
indications given of it for her guidance through each day's
occupations, but as it might concern duties not yet brought home to
her conscience, and therefore unprovided for in her life.
