About time for dinner, yo! But briefly…as busy as today was, so the last hour has been wonderful. Walked down to EQ as the thunder gently rumbled and the sun shone down upon the earth. Enjoyed a beautiful time of reading on the porch. How wonderful is it to read Owen’s work on the Holy Spirit and be encouraged in learning more about sanctification and my progress toward holiness. It is not constant, nay. But it is certain. Oh how beautiful is it to be reminded of the fact that all that is good in me and of me is from Christ Jesus alone. Nothing good have I. And how wonderful is it to be reminded of the sovereignty of God. When I know not my future or even my present…I can rest in the arms of my Father and be assured that I am loved and that my future is written in the book that matters most. Remember this, my friends – if you know the love of God, nothing else matters. True joy comes from God and naught else. There are many lovely things in this world. But their loveliness is meaningless in the absence of the knowledge of the Creator. I think on that and bow in bliss that this Creator knows my name.
