Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

God finds His best soldiers on the mountain of affliction. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

We climbed the height by the zigzag path And wondered why - until We understood it was made zigzag To break the force of the hill. A road straight up would prove too steep For the traveler's feet to tread; The thought was kind in its wise design Of a zigzag path instead. It is often so in our daily life; We fail to understand That the twisting way our feet must tread By love alone was planned. Then murmur not at the winding way, It is our Father's will To lead us Home by the zigzag path, To break the force of the hill. ANONYMOUS — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

When God sends no answer and "the cloud remain[s]," we must wait. Yet we can do so with the full assurance of God's provision of manna, water from the rock, shelter, and protection from our enemies.

This is one of the dangers of sorrow: that in our grief for those who are gone we lose our interest in those who are living, and slacken our zeal in the work which is allotted to us. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

God delights to disappoint man's fears. — Lettie Cowman

Trust God's Word and His power more than you trust your own feelings and experiences. Remember, your Rock is Christ, and it is the sea that ebbs and flows with the tides, not Him. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

In times of uncertainty, wait. Always, if you have any doubt, wait. Do not force yourself to any action. If you have a restraint in your spirit, wait until all is clear, and do not go against it. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Nearly all God's jewels are crystallized tears. — Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

When God wants to drill a man, And thrill a man, And skill a man, When God wants to mold a man To play the noblest part; When He yearns with all His heart To create so great and bold a man That all the world shall be amazed, Watch His methods, watch His ways! How He ruthlessly perfects Whom He royally elects! How He hammers him and hurts him, And with mighty blows converts him Into trial shapes of clay which Only God understands; While his tortured heart is crying And he lifts beseeching hands! How He bends but never breaks When his good He undertakes; How He uses whom He chooses, And with every purpose fuses him; But every act induces him To try His splendor out - God knows what He's about. SELECTED Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character. GOETHE — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Yet the Lord knows what is best for me, and my surroundings are determined by Him. Wherever He places me, He does so to strengthen my faith and power and to draw me into closer communion with Himself. And even if confined to a dungeon, my soul will prosper. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

In the deep jungles of Africa, a traveler was making a long trek. Coolies had been engaged from a tribe to carry the loads. The first day they marched rapidly and went far. The traveler had high hopes of a speedy journey. But the second morning these jungle tribesmen refused to move. For some strange reason they just sat and rested. On inquiry as to the reason for this strange behavior, the traveler was informed that they had gone too fast the first day, and that they were now waiting for their souls to catch up with their bodies. — Lettie Cowman

For some reason cowboy sounds better than cowman. — Demetri Martin

Cowman Quotes By Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

The answer to our prayer may be coming, although we may not discern its approach. A seed that is underground during winter, although hidden and seemingly dead and lost, is nevertheless taking root for a later spring and harvest. — Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Little faith will bring your souls to heaven, but great faith will bring heaven to your souls. Charles H. Spurgeon — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

God has so ordered, that in pressing on in duty we shall find the truest, richest comfort for ourselves. Sitting down to brood over our sorrows, the darkness deepens about us and creeps into our heart, and our strength changes to weakness. But, if we turn away from the gloom, and take up the tasks and duties to which God calls us, the light will come again, and we shall grow stronger. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

but God is the God of the unsuccessful - the God of those who have failed. Heaven is being filled with earth's broken lives, and there is no "bruised reed" (Isa. 42:3) that Christ cannot take and restore to a glorious place of blessing and beauty. He can take a life crushed by pain or sorrow and make it a harp whose music will be total praise. He can lift earth's saddest failure up to heaven's glory. J. R. Miller — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

And every heavy burden you are called upon to lift hides within itself a miraculous secret of strength. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Not until each loom is silent, And the shuttles cease to fly, Will God unroll the pattern And explain the reason why The dark threads are as needful In the Weaver's skillful hand, As the threads of gold and silver For the pattern which He planned. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Groans that words cannot express" (Rom. 8:26) are often prayers that God cannot refuse. Charles H. Spurgeon — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

The beauties of nature come after the storm. The rugged beauty of the mountain is born in a storm, and the heroes of life are the storm-swept and battle-scarred. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

Faith has nothing to do with circumstances, it deals entirely with the Word of God. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

There is a peace that springs soon after sorrow, Of hope surrendered, not of hope fulfilled; A peace that does not look upon tomorrow, But calmly on the storm that it has stilled. A peace that lives not now in joy's excesses, Nor in the happy life of love secure; But in the unerring strength the heart possesses, Of conflicts won while learning to endure. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Beloved, God's promises can never fail to be accomplished, and those who patiently wait can never be disappointed, for a believing faith leads to realization. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

The sweetest things in this world today have come to us through tears and pain. — Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

See you not, then, that God may take away your comforts and your privileges, to make you the better Christians? Why the Lord always trains His soldiers, not by letting them lie on feather beds, but by turning them out, and using them to forced marches and hard service. He makes them ford through streams, and swim through rivers, and climb mountains, and walk many a long march with heavy knapsacks of sorrow on their backs. This is the way in which He makes them soldiers - not by dressing them up in fine uniforms, to swagger at the barrack gates, and to be fine gentlemen in the eyes of the loungers in the park. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

It is such a comfort to drop the tangles of life into God's hands and leave them there. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

We are safer with Him in the dark than without Him in the sunshine. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

It is the branch that bears the fruit, That feels the knife, To prune it for a larger growth, A fuller life. Though every budding twig be trimmed, And every grace Of swaying tendril, springing leaf, May lose its place. O you whose life of joy seems left, With beauty shorn; Whose aspirations lie in dust, All bruised and torn, Rejoice, though each desire, each dream, Each hope of thine Will fall and fade; it is the hand Of Love Divine That holds the knife, that cuts and breaks With tenderest touch, That you, whose life has borne some fruit, Might now bear much. Annie Johnson Flint — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

When crew and captain understand each other to the core, It takes a gale and more than a gale to put their ship ashore; For the one will do what the other commands, although they are chilled to the bone; And both together can live through weather that neither could face alone. KIPLING — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

I cannot explain exactly how we are able to receive the power to serve and to endure through communion with God, but I know it is a fact. Are you in danger of being crushed by a heavy and difficult trial? Then seek communion with Christ and you will receive strength and the power to be victorious, for God has promised, "I will strengthen you" (Isa. 41:10). — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

For I will yet praise him" (Ps. 43:5). More prayer, more exercising of our faith, and more patient waiting leads to blessings - abundant blessings. I have found it to be true many hundreds of times, and therefore I continually say to myself, "Put your hope in God." George Mueller — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

These springs flow through the low places, the difficult places, the desert places, the lonely places, and even the ordinary places of life. And no matter what our situation may be, these springs can always be found. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Christ sometimes delays His help so He may test our faith and energize our prayers. Our boat may be tossed by the waves while he continues to sleep, but He will awake before it sinks. — Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

Our character is determined by what we do if every restraint were removed. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Let us never forget that the Husbandman is never so near the land as when he is plowing it, the very time when we are tempted to think He hath forsaken us. His plowing is a proof that He thinks you of value, and worth chastening: for He does not waste His plowing on the barren sand. He will not plow continually, but only for a time, and for a definite purpose. Soon, aye soon, we shall, through these painful processes and by His gentle showers of grace, become His fruitful land. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

The heart that serves, and loves, and clings, Hears everywhere the rush of angel wings. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Combat comes before victory. If God has chosen special trials for you to endure, be assured He has kept a very special place in His heart just for you. A badly bruised soul is one who is chosen. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

The cross that my Lord calls me to carry may assume many different shapes. I may have to be content with mundane tasks in a limited area of service, when I may balieve my abilities are suited for much greater work. I may be required to continually cultivate the same field year after year, even though it yields no harvest whatsoever. I may be asked of God to nurture kind and loving thoughts about the very person who has wronged me and to speak gently to him, take his side when others oppose him, and bestow sympathy and comfort to him. I may have to openly testify of my Master before those who do not want to be reminded of Him or His claims. And I may be called to walk through this world with a bright, smiling face while my heart is breaking... "I grow under the load." -Alexander Smellie — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Life is not salvage to be saved out of the world, but an investment to be used in the world. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you His unwavering strength that you may bear it. Be at peace, then, and set aside all anxious thoughts and worries. Francis de Sales — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By John W. Davis

deep-seated hatred between the cattlemen and the settler."40 This should come as no shock; the only surprise is that the big cattlemen would sometimes deny their attitude toward settlers. A settler who exercised his perfect right to 160 acres along a stream could significantly impair a big cowman's range; if several did so, the range would be lost altogether, as happened, for example, along Shell Creek in the Big Horn Basin. — John W. Davis

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

The worker is far more important to our Lord than the work. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

It's good indeed to give! Yet it is better still - O'er breadth, through length, down depth, up height, To trust HIS will! — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

Sorrow is God's plowshare that turns up and subsoils the depths of the soul, that it may yield richer harvests. If we had never fallen, or were in a glorified state, then the strong torrents of Divine joy would be the normal force to open up all our souls' capacities; but in a fallen world, sorrow, with despair taken out of it, is the chosen power to reveal ourselves to ourselves. Hence it is sorrow that makes us think deeply, long, and soberly. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

How can we have rain without clouds? Our troubles have always brought us blessings, and they always will, for they are the dark chariots of God's bright and glorious grace. Before long the clouds will be emptied, and every tender plant will be happier due to the showers. Our God may drench us with grief, but He will refresh us with His mercy. Our Lord's love letters often come to us in dark envelopes. His wagons may rumble noisily across the sky, but they are loaded with benefits. And His rod blossoms with sweet flowers and nourishing fruits. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By L.B. Cowman

Do not be afraid to enter the cloud that is settling down on your life. God is in it. The other side is radiant with His glory. — L.B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

God has not forgotten you. He will as readily order about the forces of the universe on your account as He did on Noah's. His plans for Noah were also plans for the whole world through Noah. So they are for you. He will use you for the good of the whole world if you will let Him. SELECTED We may forget; God does not! God's time is never wrong, Never too fast nor too slow; The planets move to its steady pace As the centuries come and go. Stars rise and set by that time, The punctual comets come back With never a second's variance, From the round of their viewless track. Men space their years by the sun, And reckon their months by the moon, Which never arrive too late And never depart too soon. Let us set our clocks by God's, And order our lives by His ways, And nothing can come and nothing can go Too soon or too late in our day. ANNIE JOHNSON FLINT "There are no dates in His fine leisure. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Christians with the most spiritual depth are generally those who have been taken through the most intense and deeply anguishing fires of the soul. If you have been praying to know more of Christ, do not be surprised if He leads you through the desert or through a furnace of pain. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

This is the blessed life - not anxious to see far down the road nor overly concerned about the next step, not eager to choose the path nor weighted down with the heavy responsibilities of the future, but quietly following the Shepherd, one step at a time. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

The man who forms the habit of beginning without finishing has simply formed the habit of failure. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

As a child of God, how much more do we need times of complete solitude - times to deal with the spiritual realities of life and to be alone with God the Father. If there was ever anyone who could dispense with special times of solitude and fellowship, it was our Lord. Yet even He could not maintain His full strength and power for His work and His fellowship with the Father without His quiet time. God desires that every servant of His would understand and perform this blessed practice, that His church would know how to train its children to recognize this high and holy privilege, and that every believer would realize the importance of making time for God alone. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

Do not limit the limitless God! With Him, face the future unafraid because you are never alone. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

The trials of life are sent to make us, not to break us. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

When I cannot feel the faith of assurance, I live by the fact of God's faithfulness. Matthew Henry — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

We have so much patience with ourselves, why not borrow some of that and use it on others. — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Dear Christian, do not be afraid, for Jesus is with you. Through all your fiery trials, His presence is both your comfort and safety. He will never forsake those He has chosen for His own. "Do not be afraid, for I am with you" (Gen. 26:24) is His unfailing word of promise to His chosen ones who are experiencing "the furnace of affliction." Charles H. Spurgeon — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie Cowman

Never yield to gloomy anticipation. Place your hope and confidence in God. He has no record of failure — Lettie Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Lettie B. Cowman

Every difficult task that comes across your path - every one that you would rather not do, that will take the most effort, cause the most pain, and be the greatest struggle - brings a blessing with it. — Lettie B. Cowman

Cowman Quotes By Aldo Leopold

We all strive for safety, prosperity, comfort, long life, and dullness. The deer strives with his supple legs, the cowman with trap and poison, the statesman with pen, the most of us with machines, votes, and dollars. A measure of success in this is all well enough, and perhaps is a requisite to objective thinking, but too much safety seems to yield only danger in the long run. Perhaps this is behind Thoreau's dictum: In wilderness is the salvation of the world. Perhaps this is the hidden meaning in the howl of the wolf, long known among mountains, but seldom perceived among men. — Aldo Leopold

Cowman Quotes By Mrs. Charles E. Cowman

Yes, one whose faith is continually stimulated by the upward look gives no ground to the attempted encroachment of despair. No matter how great the trouble or how dark the outlook, a quick lifting of the heart to God in a moment of real actual faith in him will completely alter any situation and turn the darkness of midnight into glorious sunrise. — Mrs. Charles E. Cowman
