"Relegating all problems to the Lord, trusting implicitly in His guidance for the past and future experiences produces the remark: " I will bless Jehovah, who hath given me counsel."

My going to Equador is God's counsel, as is my leaving Betty, and my refusal to be counselled by all who insist I should stay and stir up the believers in US.

And how do I know this is His counsel ? " Yea, my heart instructeth me in the night seasons."

Oh, how good - for I have known that 'my heart' is instructing me for God.

" My heart said for Thee,'Seek ye my face.'"

No visions or voices, but the counsel of a heart which desires God."

Quote by Jim Elliot who was called to Equador in the early 1950s to be a Martyr for the faith.
