“A carnal heart thinks, I must have my wants made up or else it is impossible that I should be content. But a gracious heart says, ‘What can I think now are those duties that God requires of me in the circumstances that he has now put me into? Let me exert my strength to perform the duties of my present circumstances. Others spend their thoughts on things that disturb and disquiet them, and so they grow more and more discontented. Let me spend my thought in thinking what my duty is.”
