You will never understand why God does what He does, but if you believe Him, that is all that is necessary. Let us learn to trust Him for who He is.

Elisabeth Elliot

God has promised to supply all our needs. What we don’t have now, we don’t need now.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

God Material Need Promise Requirement
The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Business Devil Element Himself Noise Peace Quiet
A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Obedience Simplicity Struggle
If you believe in a God who controls the big things, you have to believe in a God who controls the little things. It is we, of course, to whom things look ‘little’ or ‘big’.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Appearance Believe Big Control God
A spirit of restlessness and resistance can never wait, but one who believes he is loved with an everlasting love, and knows that underneath are the everlasting arms, will find strength and peace.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Believe God Himself Love Peace Resistance Spirit Strength Wait
Choices will continually be necessary and — let us not forget — possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Choice Death Errors Feeling Forget Necessary Obedience Possible
Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone to accept, His lordship.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Acceptance Affection Authority Beginning Understand
It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

There is nothing worth living for, unless it is worth dying for.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Death Himself Live Worth
Faith’s most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Evidence Faith Ourselves See Stunning
Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

End God Myself Oneself Perfection Story
The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Big End Expectation God Willing
The life of faith is lived one day at a time, and it has to be lived – not always looked forward to as though the “real” living were around the next corner. It is today for which we are responsible. God still owns tomorrow.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Day Faith Life Live Reality Responsibility Time
Worship is not an experience. Worship is an act, and this takes discipline. We are to worship ”in spirit and in truth.” Never mind about the feelings. We are to worship in spite of them.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Act Discipline Experience Feeling Mindset Worship
God never denies us our hearts desire except to give us something better.
ELISABETH ELLIOT

Better Desire Expectation God Heart Ourselves
You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.
