THAT ILLOGICAL FELLOW

Good Morning!!! THAT ILLOGICAL FELLOW Around the Year with Emmet Fox June 9 People sometimes say, "I believe firmly in the spiritual teaching, and I have done so for years, but I have never, been able to make it work— isn't that strange?" And sometimes they say this with quite an air of triumph. Such people remind me of a man who used to boast that he had an ailment that no one could heal. He had successfully defied every school of healing and had emerged triumphantly still in possession of his affliction. As it happens, his wife did heal him later on, by prayer alone, but she was a patient and persevering woman. That man's wife probably points the way to the overcoming of such illogicality. The key to success lies in just the qualities that she obviously had; patience combined with a gentle and unhurried expectation of success. The patient whom she healed is not a rare specimen, nor is he unknown to any one of us. We are all likely to encounter him under our own hat at any moment! “I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works. . .” Revelation 2:19
