Stand still and see what the Lord will do for you...

“O be persuaded to hide yourself in Christ Jesus! What greater assurance of safety can you desire? He has undertaken to defend and save you, if you will come to him: he looks upon it as his work; he engaged in it before the world was, and he has given his faithful promise which he will not break; and if you will but make your flight there, his life shall be for yours; he will answer for you, you shall have nothing to do but rest quietly in him; you may stand still and see what the Lord will do for you.

If there be any thing to suffer, the suffering is Christ’s, you will have nothing to suffer; if there be any thing to be done, the doing of it is Christ’s, you will have nothing to do but to stand still and behold it.” - Jonathan Edwards, On Knowing Christ, 164.

[Of First Importance]

OK, so I'm not so much commenting on this actual entry as to your whole blog...It's beautiful! Love the new Look! I need lessons. I also appreciate your depth and quotes of all the writers and pastors I love! Sometimes I think you've been reading my brain waves.K
