Circumstances
This quote was JUST what I needed to read today. Do you too find yourself in circumstances that feel overwhelming? In a situation you did not expect or would even welcome? God knows!!! He has not forgotten. He is at work!
"The very circumstances, new and peculiar as they are, in which you are placed, God can convert into new and peculiar mercies, yes, into the richest means of grace with which your soul was ever fed. The very void you feel, the very need you deplore, May be God's way of satiating you with His goodness. Ah! Does not God see your grace in your very desire for grace? Does He not mark your sanctification in your very thirsting for holiness? And can He not turn that desire, and convert that thirst, into the very blessing itself? Truly He can, and often does."
