  i read this in a book by elisabeth elliot last night and was so blessed by it…

  ” there is only one classroom in which to learn:
  1. the work of God
  2. the will of God
  3. the trustworthiness of God
  4. the presence of God
  

  the classrooom is where i am now. this is the place appointed by
  God for my instruction and santification- even here:

  1. where it seems God is doing nothing (He is, in fact, at work in unseen ways)
  2. where His will seems obscure or frightening (He will surely give me peace at last)
  3. where He isn’t doing what i want Him to (He is doing something better- perhaps He is doing the very thing i prayed for, but in a way incomprehensible to me)
  4. where He is most absent (yes, even there His promise holds: I will never leave you or forsake you..) “

  the Lord is at work, even when i don’t realize it or feel far from His grace. He is there, always steadfast and true. i think that this is such a new season in my life…and i’m ready….and trusting Him…
