The Worship Quote of the Week for (08/28/2001):

Nowhere Else to Go Have you ever viewed prayer primarily as a desperate cry to God in times of trouble? Today's WORSHIP QUOTE is from the 19th-century British author George MacDonald, and offers a sobering contrast between our perspective and God’s. NOWHERE ELSE TO GO How often we look upon God as our last and feeblest resource! We go to him because we have nowhere else to go. And then we learn that the storms of life have driven us, not upon the rocks, but into the desired haven. — George MacDonald (1824-1905) [I’ve seen this quote in numerous places but have never seen the full citation. Does anyone know where he wrote this?] [C. S. Lewis said of George MacDonald, "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master; indeed I fancy I have never written a book in which I did not quote from him." Makes a person want to go to the library. For more on George MacDonald, try <>.] Hope you’re in the haven. Have a great week.
