March 13
"My soul thirsteth for God." (Psalm 42:2)
Man seeks rest in his surroundings; God gives rest within. . . . Why those lines of care? Oh, you know it - insubjection to God, and insubjection to His will - it is the source of all the care and unrest around us.
The more your soul apprehends the glory of Christ's person, the more you are delivered from everything else; and so, unconsciously to yourself, you will become superior to everything here.
"Let me now fall into the hands of the Lord; for very great are His mercies." . . . A weak person can tumble. Relinquish yourself into the hands of Christ; those blessed hands have been nailed to the cross; fall into them, and He will give you rest. (E.P. Corrin)

"Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." (Luke 12:31)
God will never be a debtor to any one, only let us throw our whole souls into His work, and the end will declare how far we have acted upon sound principles. (C.H. Mackintosh)
