MacDonald: the last resort

Sunday, June 22, 2025
    Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209
Meditation:
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
    the waves of the sea were hushed.
They were glad when it grew calm,
    and he guided them to their desired haven.
    —Psalm 107:29-30 (NIV)
Quotation:
    How often do we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to Him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven.
    ... George MacDonald (1824-1905), Annals of a Quiet Neighbourhood, v. I [1867], London: Strahan & Co., 1873, p. 353 (see the book)
    See also Ps. 107:21-30; Matt. 8:24-27; Mark 4:36-41; Rom. 8:28
