"Do not therefore please yourself with thinking, how piously you would act and submit to God in a plague, a famine, or persecution, but be intent upon the perfection of the present day; and be assured, that the best way of showing a true zeal, is to make little things the occasion of great piety."

"Thus, for Instance, Humility is nothing else but a right judgment of ourselves, and is only so far enjoined as it is suitable to the Truth of our State, for to think worse of ourselves than we really are, is no more a Virtue than to make five to be less than four."

William Law on God's Providence

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Friday, September 27, 2013 at 6:30 AM

"It sounds indeed much better to murmur at the course of the world or the state of things than to murmur at providence, to complain of the seasons and weather, than to complain of God, but if these have no other cause but God and His providence it is a poor distinction to say that you are only angry at the things but not at the cause and director of them."
