God is still on His throne, we're still on His 'footstool,' and there's only a knee's distance between!
Jim ElliotRest in this - it is His business to lead, command, impel, send, call... It is your business to obey, follow, move, respond.
Jim ElliotSo many missionaries, intent on doing something, forget that His main work is to make something of them.
Jim ElliotThe sound of 'gentle stillness' after all the thunder and wind have passed will the ultimate Word from God.
Jim ElliotIn my own experience I have found that the most extravagant dreams of boyhood have not surpassed the great experience of being in the Will of God, and I believe that nothing could be better. That is not to say that I do not want other things, and other ways of living, and other places to see, but in my right mind I know that my hopes and plans for myself could not be any better than He has arranged and fulfilled them. Thus may we all find it, and know the truth of the Word which says, He will be our guide even until death.
