An Update. . . and some quotes from Tozer's "Knowledge of the Holy"

Well, since I asked you all to pray for Melinda and the Bible study she started last Wednesday, I need to give you an update on what happened, right? Well, to start off with, I need to add that it is Melinda AND Liz (another student here at CBI who also works at the Ambulance shed) who are doing the study. With that said, praise the Lord that there were no calls while they were having the study, as that would have, obviously, ended the study for the night. Thank you for your prayers! However, an even bigger praise is the fact that the two ladies, Connie and Ruth, with whom they are doing the study, are interested in meeting again! So, continue praying!

So. . .on to Tozer! For the doctrine class that I am taking, I have to read the book "Knowledge of the Holy," which dicusses the attributes of God. I am only part-way through the book, and so far, it is an amazing book!

Tozer. . .
on the immutability of God:

" All that God is He has always been, and all that He has been and is He
willever be." (page 65)

on the wisdom of God

". . .we shall not seek to understand in order that we may believe, but
tobelieve in order that we may understand." (page 76)

" We rest in what God is. I believe that
this alone is true faith. Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of
the senses is not real faith." (page 80)

" And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not;I will lead
them in paths that they have not known: I will make darknesslight before them,
and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake
them.

"Let Him lead thee blindfold onwards,
Love needs not to know;
Children whom the Father leadeth
Ask not where they go.
Though the path be all unknown,
Over moors and mountains lone."
~Gerhard Tersteegen (page 82)
