Help us, O Lord, when we want to do the right thing, but know not what it is.  But help us most when we know perfectly well what we ought to do, and do not want to do it.  Amen.

Peter Marshall

“But if a wicked man turns away from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.  None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; for the righteousness which he has done he shall live.”

Ezekiel 18:21-22
The Revised Standard Version

Today’s Thought contained an error, mediation was printed twice instead of the correct (below) meditation…that is significant enough to send out a corrected message. I apologize for my mistake and thanks for your participation (and patience) in this ministry!

Greg for This Day’s Thought

Those who draw water from the wellspring of meditation know that God dwells close to their hearts.  For those who wish to discover the quietude of old amid the hustle and bustle of today’s machine civilization, there is no way save to rediscover this ancient realm of meditation.  Since the loss of my eyesight I have been as delighted as if I had found a new wellspring by having arrived at this sacred precinct.

The humility of Christ is not the moderation of keeping one’s exact place in the scale of being, but rather that of absolute dependence on God and absolute trust in him, with the consequent ability to move mountains.  The secret of the meekness and the gentleness of Christ lies in his relation to God.

H. Richard Niebuhr

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor.  No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.  O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you!

So long as we love, we serve.  So long as we are loved by others I would almost say that we are indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.

George Washington Carver famously addressed Congress in 1921, extolling the virtues of peanuts.  When asked by one congressman how he learned what he knew, Carver replied, “From an old book…the Bible.”  The congressman asked, “Does the Bible tell about peanuts?”  Carver replied, “No Sir, but it tells about the God who made the peanut.  I asked Him to show me what to do with the peanut, and He did.”
