Hubby was off yesterday, so us girls got to have a day out with Daddy. First stop, Gullions Bookstore where I found a few treasures including the two pictured below. Both are daily devotional books…I thought I would share from one of them this evening. This blessed my heart:<\/em><\/p>\n

NOVEMBER 8<\/span> ~~ George MacDonald in one of his books gives a graphic description of the wonderful simplicity a child of God has; he pictures Job opening God’s private door, as it were, and flinging himself into His presence and presenting his problems. He is indicating the freedom a child of God has to come and say, “I am puzzled by this and that; why should things be so?” He is coming not to a monarch who will terrify him, but to a Father, if he is a disciple, and he can speak just like a child with perfect simplicity and freedom. Some of us seem to have the idea that we are away in a howling wilderness and we must cry and agonize before we can get God’s ear. Turn to the New Testament and see what Jesus says – “Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard Me. And I knew that Thou hearest Me always.” ~~<\/strong> (taken from “Still Higher For His Highest” by Oswald Chambers)<\/em><\/p>\n
