I will lift Up Mine Eyes Unto the Hills
August 14.
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
PSALM 121, verse 1.
My grace is sufficient for thee.
2 CORINTHIANS 12, verse 9.
I look to Thee in every need,
And never look in vain;
I feel Thy touch, Eternal Love,
And all is well again:
The thought of Thee is mightier far
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.
S. LONGFELLOW.
How can you live sweetly amid the vexatious things,
the irritating things, the multitude of little worries
and frets, which lie all along your way,
and which you cannot evade?
You cannot at present change your surroundings.
Whatever kind of life you are to live, must
be lived amid precisely the experiences in which
you are now moving. Here you must win your victories
or suffer your defeats. No restlessness or discontent
can change your lot. Others may have other
circumstances surrounding them, but here are yours.
You had better make up your mind to accept
what you cannot alter. You can live a beautiful life
in the midst of your present circumstances.
J. R. MILLER.
Strive to realize a state of inward happiness,
independent of circumstances.
J. P. GREAVES.

Roland's Comment
One of the great lessons we must all learn in life is to do what we can here and now, and be content with what the Good Lord has given us. God did not give you any wife or husband; He gave you one--the one you have now. He did not give you any child; He gave you the child you have now. What will it profit a man if he write a book about cooking, that others read and use, if he neglect to cook for his own family.
