Encouraging Words

I like to read a number of devotional books - my favourites are Streams in the Desert, My Utmost For His Highest, and Daily Power Thoughts.

These were my encouraging words yesterday:

"Make Thy Petition Deep." Isaiah 7:11

We must keep on praying and waiting upon the Lord until the sound of a might rain is heard. There is no reason why we should not ask for large things; and without doubt we shall get large things if we ask in faith, and have the courage to wait with patient perseverance upon Him, meanwhile doing those things which lie within our power to do so.

I am doing the paperchase. I am doing the garage sale. I am doing the research. I am learning all I can about Ethiopia. And I am waiting on the Lord
