Finding Hope in Suffering With Amy Carmichael

DAY 3 OF 7

One thing I do

I often think how wonderful it is to have nothing to think of, no care in all the world but to do His will and finish His work. There are sorrows—there must be in a world so full of sorrow—but “This one thing I do” can be our word. And there is joy in that.

I have been reading Ephesians 3:10–11. “The powers in the heavenly places” are real powers. If only we by the grace of God live lives that glorify our Lord, if only we are not overcome by griefs and trials such as those we are pass­ing through now, but look above them and go on in peace, then something of the wonderful wisdom of God will be shown to those Unseen Watchers. It is a solemn thought, for of course the opposite is true. If we are “overcome of evil” (Rom. 12:21), we show nothing of His love and grace and all that is meant by His “manifold wisdom.” Oh, may He help us not to lose this opportunity to glorify His Name.
