Trust Him with everything;\r\nBegin today,\r\nAnd find the joy that comes\r\nWhen Jesus has His way! --Selected\r\nWe must keep on praying and waiting upon the Lord, until the sound of a mighty should not ask for large things; and without doubt we\r\nshall get large things if we ask in faith, and have the courage to   wait with patient perseverance upon Him, meantime doing those things which lie within our power to do.\r\nWe cannot create the wind or set it in motion, but we can set our sails to catch it when it comes; we cannot make the electricity,\r\nbut we can stretch the wire along upon which it is to run and do its work; we cannot in a word, control the Spirit but we can so\r\nplace ourselves before the Lord, and so do the things He has bidden us do, that we will come under the influence and power of His\r\nmighty breath. --Selected\r\n\"Cannot the same wonders be done now as of old? Where is the God of Elijah. He is waiting for Elijah to call on Him.\"\r\nThe greatest saints who ever lived, whether under the Old or New\r\nDispensation, are on a level which is quite within our reach. The\r\nsame forces of the spiritual world which were at their command, and the exertion of which made them such spiritual heroes, are open to   us also. If we had the same faith, the same hope, the same love\r\nwhich they exhibited, we would achieve marvels as great as those which they achieved. A word of prayer in our mouths would be as  potent to call down the gracious dews and melting fires of God's\r\nSpirit as it was in Elijah's mouth to call down literal rain and\r\nfire, if we could only speak the word with that full assurance of faith wherewith he said it.\r\n--Dr. Goulburn, Dean of Norwich.",1783499793089]
