Via Dave Black quoting Corrie ten Boom in his latest essay
The Astounding Power of Poverty.
“Look inside and be depressed, look outside and be distressed, and look to Him and be at rest.”
Brother Dave goes on to say in retrospect:
This intimate assurance that Christ can be trusted is our security. It resolves the dilemma of our insignificance, our mortality, our futility. Gradually we become aware that God takes unimportant nobodies, fills them with His Presence, and empowers them to live lives of unhypocritical love (Rom. 12:9). Our growing awareness of, and confidence in, the adequacy of Christ constitutes the unshaken rock upon which our faith stands.
Amen.
