Teach Me To Do Thy Will

November 8.

Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God.

HEBREWS 10, verse 9.


Teach me to do Thy will, for Thou art my God.

PSALM 98, verse 10.


Lo! I come with joy to do
The Father's blessed will;
Him in outward works pursue,
And serve His pleasure still.
Faithful to my Lord's commands,
I still would choose the better part;
Serve with careful Martha's hands,
And loving Mary's heart.

CHARLES WESLEY.


A soul cannot be regarded as truly subdued
and consecrated in its will, and as having
passed into union with the Divine will, until
it has a disposition to do promptly and
faithfully all that God requires, as well as
to endure patiently and thankfully
all that He imposes.

T. C. UPHAM.


When we have learned to offer up every
duty connected with our situation in life
as a sacrifice to God, a settled employment
becomes just a settled habit of prayer.

THOMAS ERSKINE.


"Do the duty which lies nearest thee,"
which thou knowest to be a duty.
Thy second duty will already have become clearer.

THOMAS CARLYLE.
