They also Serve Who Only Stand And Wait

Sonnet 19 by John Milton on his blindness. 

"When I consider how my light is spent,

Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide,

And that one Talent which is death to hide

Lodged with me useless, though my Soul more bent

To serve therewith my Maker, and present

My true account, lest he returning chide;

“Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?”

I fondly ask. But patience, to prevent

That murmur, soon replies, “God doth not need

Either man’s work or his own gifts; who best

Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state

Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed

And post o’er Land and Ocean without rest:

They also serve who only stand and wait."

Sceptical of the Asbury Revival?

Here's a snippet of a good article from a brother:

"Every revival has had some mess, so to speak.... Discern for yourself whether or not you know if there is enough mess to say it is not of God. I would just say do it with faithful scales and a true balance. If you are going to be skeptical about the good, be skeptical about the bad. If you are going to unreservedly look at the good then unreservedly look at the bad. Judge with righteous judgment... "
