Advice Quote by Priscilla Shirer

“Elisabeth Elliot, has said, “One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was, ‘Do the next thing.’” Instead of getting all hung up on looking for the grand scope of God’s will for your life, just do what He’s called you to do right now. That’s all that really matters. Now.” quote by Priscilla Shirer
