Alan Redpath quote

I don’t like to read to people (or to be read to!) but I can’t help it sometimes! I run across great quotes from greater thinkers than I, and I want to share it with my brothers and sisters for encouragement or conviction or correction. Here’s one from 8/8/10 that has been widely requested:
“When common sense says that a course is right, lift up your head to God, for the path of faith and the path of blessing may be in a direction completely opposite to that which you call common sense. When voices tell you that action is urgent, that something must be done immediately, refer everything to the tribunal of heaven. Then, if you are still in doubt, dare to stand still. If called on to act and yo have not time to pray, don’t act. If you are called on to move in a certain direction and cannot wait until you have peace with God about it, don’t move. Be strong and brave enough to dare to stand and wait on God, for none of them that wait on him shall ever be ashamed.” Alan Redpath;

Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid; be faithful to work and to wait on the Lord!
