Where the Sweetest Grass Grows
“It is a good fall when a man falls on his knees.”—1887, Sermon #1992
Thank you Lord for causing me, in the midst of this dark storm, to fall on my knees.
“The pastures of the Great Shepherd are wide, but the sweetest grasses grow close to His pierced feet.” —1887, Sermon #1982
Thank you for allowing me to taste of the sweetest grass.
“It is a glorious thing to have a big trouble, a great Atlantic billow that takes you off your feet and sweeps you right out to sea— and lets you sink down into the depths, into old ocean’s lowest caverns, till you get to the foundations of the mountains— and there see God and then come up again to tell what a great God He is and how graciously He delivers His people! He will deliver you, He must deliver you. The argument of the text is this, ‘In due time Christ died for the ungodly,’ therefore, in due time He must help the godly.”—1893, Sermon #2341
I trust and long for the day of deliverance from this trial. For I know You are faithful.
“It is often worth while being afflicted in order to experience the great loving kindness of God which He bestows so abundantly on us in the hour of trouble and perplexity. Yes, God turns our fasts into feasts, and we are glad in the midst of our sorrow! We can praise and bless His name for all that He does.”—1892, Sermon #2248
I have failed to be glad in the midst of my sorrow. Help me to praise You. I am so weak and so exhausted.
“When one knows that his times are in God’s hands, he would not change places with a king! No, nor even with an angel!”—1891, Sermon #2205
It does bring me comfort to know that my times are in Your hands. Especially as I study Your attributes.
