Sufficiency Better than Abundance.

Back to Divine Breathings!

I am not far from my eternal home; therefore I need not make much provision for the way; food and clothing will be sufficient for my journey; excess will only prove a burden.

While Jacob had only his staff—he journeyed pleasantly; but when he had his flocks and herds—he went but slowly.

We see daily, that rich men either lose their paths, or travel but little ground; while poor men run the ways of God's commandments.

I am happy enough, if I have but sufficient to carry me to heaven. I will therefore desire no more than that which will mend my pace, and serve me during my journey.
