The story behind this quote adds a layer of depth to its meaning. While suffering from a painful back injury, Murray was asked for advice by a woman in distress. He handed her a note he had written for himself, offering timeless wisdom: “First, He brought me here. It is by His will I am in this strait place; in that I will rest. Next, He will keep me here in His love, and give me grace in this trial to behave as His child. Then say, He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me lessons He intends me to learn, and working in me the grace He means to bestow. And last, say, In His good time He can bring me out again. How and when, He knows. Therefore say, I am here (1) by God’s appointment, (2) in His keeping, (3) under His training, (4) for His time.”
