This Day's Thought

The crosses which we make for ourselves by a restless anxiety as to the future, are not crosses which come from God.  We show want of faith in Him by our false wisdom, wishing to forestall His arrangements, and struggling to supplement His Providence by our own providence.  The future is not yet ours; perhaps it never will be.  If it comes, it may come wholly different from what we have foreseen.  Let us shut our eyes, then, to that which God hides from us, and keeps in reserve in the treasures of His deep counsels.  Let us worship without seeing; let us be silent; let us abide in peace.

François Fénelon

This Day's Verse

Deuteronomy 33:12
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

If a bird is flying for pleasure, it flies with the wind, but if it meets danger it turns and faces the wind, in order that it may rise higher.

This Day's Thought

Give up yourself to God without reserve; in singleness of heart, meeting everything that every day brings forth, as something that comes from God, and is to be received and gone through by you, in such an heavenly use of it, as you would suppose the holy Jesus would have done, in such occurrences.  This is an attainable degree of perfection.

William Law

This Day's Verse

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Psalm 116:7
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Faith is simply taking God at His word.
