I am reading Streams in the Desert by L.B Cowman, here are two excerpts i would like to share:
We may dwell "with the king for his work" anywhere and everywhere. We may be called to serve Him in the most unlikely places and under the most adverse conditions. It may be out in the countryside, far away from the King's many activities in the city. Or it may be "among plants and hedges" of all kinds- hindrances that surround us, blocking our way. Perhaps we will be one of " the potters", with our hands full of all types of pottery, accomplishing our daily tasks.
It makes no difference! The King who places us "there" will come and dwell with us. The hedges, or hindrances, are right for us, or He will quickly remove them. And doesn't it stand to reason that whatever seems to block our way may also provide for our protection? As for the pottery- it is exactly what He has seen fit to place in our hands and is for now "his work"
Frances Ridley Havergal
"Brightly colored sunsets and starry heavens, majestic mountains and shining seas, and fragrant fields and fresh-cut flowers are not even half as beautiful as a soul who is serving Jesus out of love through the wear and tear of an ordinary, unpoetic life. "
Fredrick William Faber
