Today's Devotional

We are called upon to “rejoice in hope.” It is a sad mistake to anticipate disappointment. Strength is promised in the day of trouble…

It is not easy for an ardent spirit to rest submissive in doubt and uncertainty, but this is a lesson which we are sometimes required to learn.

Fruitless thinking is just so much waste of that mental and spiritual energy, every atom of which you need for your spiritual progress. Shut the door on a fruitless anxiety at once.

About the author and the source

Edward Meyrick Goulburn (1818–1897) was an Anglican churchman and author who held many influential school and church positions during his life. He promoted holiness and opposed intellectual trends of his day which sought to undermine the integrity of Scripture. Charlotte Bickersteth Wheeler taught English in the 1870s and wrote sentimental novels and evangelistic biographies of relatives who had died. Among her books was Chimes from Bygone Years, a collection of quotes arranged by days of the year and organized by topic.
