| Quotes on Providence
I often fall into the sin of discouragement when good, righteous action by those around me does not immediately produce tangible "results."
May I learn to think eternally, or at least in years, decades, or centuries, and trust God's hand is moving just as He intends. Quote: |
"The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress is so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope."
| -- Robert E. Lee
