Martin Luther: What to do with things

“I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.”

Martin Luther (1483-1546) as recounted in Luther Gold: Pure. Refined. comp. by R. Comfort, ed. by M. R. Murray (Alachua, FL: Bridge-logos, 2009) 50.

I can’t find record that I have ever shared this famous quote attributed to Luther as a meditation, so here it is!

I am also thankful that my mom, Patsy Hoag, shared it with me this week and has modeled such generosity for me all my life. Thanks mom!
