The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

September 21

Law is our schoolmaster. Our master, Christ,

Lived under all our laws, yet always prayed—

So walked the water when the storm was highest.—

Law is Thy father's; thou hast it obeyed,

And it thereby subject to thee hast made—

To rule it, master, for thy brethren's sakes:—

Well may he guide the law by whom law's maker makes.
