"Each step in the life of faith is toward richer blessing. Are you God's child? There is nothing before you in the unopened future but goodness. Every new experience, whether of joy or sorrow, will be a new storehouse of goodness for you. Even in the heart of disaster you will still find goodness infolded. Even your disappointments will disclose truer, richer blessing than if your own hopes had been realized. Here is a lens through which every true Christian may see his own path clear to the end - from goodness to richer goodness, from glory to glory, the last step through the opening door of heaven into the presence of the King."

Habakkuk 2:1 says, "I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected." And here's what Mr Wesley had to say about that verse: "Called to give an account of the mysteriousness of providence; either to satisfy doubters, or to silence quarrellers." Can we say, like Samuel, "Speak Lord, for your servant is listening."? Do we really know the Shepherd's voice or have other voices crowded Him out? In so many places in Scripture, we're told to "Be still" and "Stand firm". Do we ever take much time aside to be alone with the Lord for Him to correct our skewed way of thinking? Have we given many accurate accounts of the Lord's dealings lately? Have we satisfied doubters or silenced quarrellers?
