Ponderings From Samuel Rutherford

Samuel Rutherford lived in Scotland a few hundred years ago, but his words still live today.

"Believe God's love and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your rock is Christ, and it is not the rock that ebbs and flows but the sea."

"Since He looked upon me, my heart is not my own. He hath run away to heaven with it."

"Why should I tremble at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul? I know He is no idle husbandman, He purposeth a crop."

"When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines."
