"And now if you ask how you
may know that you have truly consecrated yourself to Him, I reply,
observe every indication of his will concerning you, no matter how
trivial, and see whether you at once close in with that will. Lay down
this principle as law - God does nothing arbitrary. If He takes away
your health, for instance, it is because He has some reason in doing so;
and this is true of everything of value; and if you have real faith in
Him, you will not insist on knowing the reason." --- Elizabeth Prentiss
And a simple observation for today--straight from the farm:
Following Jesus is an exciting proposition....always there is more in Him, always drawing deeper, pushing against the flow of feeble thoughts to reroute and retrain.
Imagining my life w/ this Prentiss quote (above) in mind as I clean the little cabin this chilly Saturday morning , take a walk, feed the goats, and whatever.

Thank you, Jesus, for thoughts that are higher than mine....lifting my ideas of reality. You act in our lives with absolute purpose in all circumstances..... all happenings.
rerouting and retraining...hmm perhaps I need to think on this a little more!
