Seven Rules for Daily Living
by Jonathan Goforth
The following rules for daily living were made by Dr. Goforth in 1894 and written on the fly-leaf of his Bible:
1- Seek to give much -- expect nothing.
2- Put the very best construction on the actions of others.
3- Never let a day pass without at least a quarter of an hour spent in the study of the Bible.
4- Never omit daily morning and evening private prayer and devotion.
5- In all things seek to know God's Will and when known obey at any cost.
6- Seek to cultivate a quiet prayerful spirit.
7- Seek each day to do or say something to further Christianity among the heathen.
