Christ Strengthening Us

By François Fénelon

WE are ever ready to confide in weak friends, but we are afraid to trust in God. We believe the promises of the world, but we can not believe the Word of God. Let us make an effort to restore the divine order; let us confide with moderation in what depends upon ourselves, but let us set no bounds to our confidence in God. Let us repress all eagerness, all inquietude, all that we call zeal. He who thus trusts in God, becomes immovable as Mount Zion. Our trust should be more firm and elevated. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”—Fenelon.
