That low man seeks a little thing to do,
Sees it and does it:
This high man, with a great thing to pursue,
Dies ere he knows it.
That low man goes on adding one to one,
His hundred's soon hit:
This high man, aiming at a million,
Misses an unit.
That, has the world here--should he need the next,
Let the world mind him!
This, throws himself on God, and unperplexed
Seeking shall find him.
--Robert Browning.
Hitch your wagon to a star.
--Ralph Waldo Emerson.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy
face, Jehovah, will I seek.
--Psalm 27. 8.
Almighty God, show me what thou hast given for me to do, that I may
not leave undone that which is mine. Forgive me for useless planning
and blind asking for the things which cannot be mine. I pray that my
work may be honest work, well done, and acceptable for thy service.
Amen.
