Very well, Lord-what of this summer?

A friend of mine shared the following with me & it was just the reminder that I needed as I seek God's will for this next season of my life. It also reminded me of what a GREAT book "In the Shadow of the Almighty" is and I highly recommend it. I got it off the shelf and started reading it again.

"Guidance for Israel in their wandering was unquestionable (Numbers 9). There could be no doubt if God wished them to move. Shall my Father be less definite with me? I cannot believe so. Often I doubt, for I cannot see, but surely the Spirit will lead as definitely as the pillar of a cloud. I must be as willing to remain as to go, for the presense of God determines the whereabouts of His people. 'Where I am, there shall also my servant be.' Very well, Lord-what of this summer. "

(The "summer" is refering to JIM ELLIOT trying to determine the will of God for a particular season of his life...this is an excerpt from his journal in the book "In the shadow of the Almighty")
