MB 299.3

DA 644.3

​

The sincere, contrite soul is precious in the sight of God.  He places His own signet upon men, not by their rank, not by their wealth, not by their intellectual greatness, but by their oneness with Christ.  The LORD of glory is satisfied with those who are meek and lowly in heart.  "Thou hast also given me", said David, "the shield of Thy salvation: and Thy right hand hath holden me up, and /thy gentleness hath made me great."  Psalms 18:35. Desire if Ages, 437.3; Gospel Workers, p 332.1; Review and Herald, October 6, 1891, par. 7.

​

It is God that girded me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.  Psalms 18:32

He maketh my feet like hind's feet, and setteth me upon my high mountain.  Psalms 18:33

​

God does not estimate men by position or rank or wealth or profound learning, but by their humility of heart and their willingness to learn in the school of Christ.  - 22LtMs, Lt 48, 1907, par. 38 -
