Hope in Hardships from Samuel Rutherford

June 22, 2008

Recently along with my morning Bible readings, I have been reading short passages of the book The Loveliness of Christ, by Samuel Rutherford (thanks Gino!). Yesterday I enjoyed this quote:

I find it most true, that the greatest temptation out of hell, is to live without temptations; if my waters should stand, they would rot…Grace withereth without adversity. The devil is but God’s master fencer, to teach us to handle our weapons.
