Found a Card

Found a card among my things that is so old, well, I typed it on a typewriter. The 4 x 6 paper is discolored and starting to fall apart in one area where it is torn!  It reads:

Saved by
Patience
Meekness
Humility of heart
Resignation to God

5 weapons of Satan to destroy the Word
  1. Affliction
  2. Persecution
  3. Cares of this world
  4. Deceitfulness of riches
  5. Lusts of other things
First duty of the day:
get into the right place of dependence before God, in meek, patient, humble, resignation to Him.

Turn from all struggles and self reproach, IN STILLNESS YIELD TO HIS WORKING and in meek and humble resignation expect deliverance nowhere but from God Himself.

 The 5 weapons of Satan are from the Scriptures. The other quotes are from "Freedom from a Self-centered Life / Dying to Self Selections from William Law, Edited by Andrew Murray.
Oh, William Law, you never steered me wrong even once! "He was a religious guide not only to the family but to a number of earnest-minded people who came to consult him. The most eminent of these were the two brothers John and Charles Wesley."
