What do you do on a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day?

Do you remember Alexander who had such a day?

 So what do I do when I have such a errible, horrible, no good, very bad day....Why read Samuel Rutherford of course....On such a day, my lovely saving grace from the Lord today is a tiny gem I have found - called 'the Loveliness of Christ by Samuel Rutherford'.  http://www.banneroftruth.org/pages/articles/article_detail.php?1350.... how weird it felt getting all teary with his words as I sitting amongst the everyday person who was watching the news and soap operas in Centre Link.

Here are some of his writings as freebies.... http://www.puritansermons.com/ruth/ruthindx.htm

And here are a few of my favourite of Samuel Rutherford quotes I came across today.

* Glorify the Lord in your sufferings and take his banner of love and spread it over you. Others will follow you if they see you strong in the Lord; their courage will take life form your Christian carriage.

* Let God have a commanding power and a King-throne in you.

* I find his sweet presence eateth out the bitterness of sorrow and suffering.
