For the multitude of world friends profiteth not, nor may strong helpers anything avail, nor wise counselors give profitable counsel, nor the cunning of doctors give consolation, nor richness deliver in time of need…if Thou, Lord, do not assist, help, comfort, counsel, inform, and defend.

Thomas a Kempis

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Romans 5:3-5
The King James Version

God’s best gifts come quietly, like the scent growth of crops or the flowering of a garden, like marsh marigolds lifting yellow heads beside the brook or the hushed resurrection of faith in a soul where it had seemed to die.  No ear can hear their coming—the cautious steps of mature thoughts in the mind of a growing child, the advent of a holy and lasting love in the heart of a man or maid, or the approach of a prodigal son to the Father’s house.

You haven’t lost anything when you know where it is.  Death can hide but not divide.

Vance Havner

“Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods?  Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?”

Exodus 15:11
The English Standard Version

A few months after moving to a small town a woman complained to a neighbor about the poor service at the local drug store.  She hoped the new acquaintance would repeat her complaint to the owner.  Next time she went to the drug store, the druggist greeted her with a big smile, told her how happy he was to see her again.  He said he hoped she liked their town and to please let him know if there was anything he could do to help her and her husband get settled.  He then filled her order promptly and efficiently.  Later the woman reported the miraculous change to her friend.  “I suppose you told the druggist how poor I thought the service was?” she asked.  “Well, no” the woman said.  “In fact—and I hope you don’t mind—I told him you were amazed at the way he had built up this small town drug store, and that you thought it was one of the best run drug stores you’d ever seen.”

Each day we all get twenty-four hours.  There is democracy in God’s bestowal of time.  There is real aristocracy in the way we use it, however, for some waste it by not using it or by spending it on their own ambitions while others enrich it by making everything subservient to God’s purpose for life: to learn to know, use, and enjoy life, the very center of which is made up of personal relations.

Nels F. S. Ferre

The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless his people Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron, he will bless those who fear the Lord—small and great alike.

Psalm 115:12-13
The New International Version

Joy is the flag flying over the citadel of the soul indicating that the King is in residence.

Resolved: Very much to exercise myself in this, all my life long, namely, with the greatest openness of which I am capable, to declare my ways to God, and lay open my soul to Him, all my sins, temptations, difficulties, sorrows, fears, hopes, desires, and everything, and every circumstance.

Jonathan Edwards

Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.

Proverbs 14:9
The King James Version

ARE YE ABLE?
Able to suffer without complaining,
To be misunderstood without explaining;
Able to endure without a breaking,
To be forsaken without forsaking;
Able to give without receiving,
To be ignored without any grieving;
Able to ask without commanding,
To love despite misunderstanding;
Able to turn to the Lord for guarding,
Able to wait for His own rewarding.

“O God,” I cried, and that was all.  But what are the prayers of all the universe more than expansions of that one cry?  It is not what God can give us, but God that we want.

George MacDonald

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!  By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and to an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God’s power are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1:3-5
The Revised Standard Version

God’s plan will continue on God’s schedule.

MORNING PRAYER
Here, Lord, is my life.
I place it on the altar today.
Use it as You will.

Albert Schweitzer

And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

Colossians 3:23-24
The New King James Version

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.

God has been blessing me with simple, but sweet gifts lately!  He is replacing bad memories with good ones.  It’s amazing how He heals and always works things together for good!  He is so good to us, isn’t He?  I am cherishing each gift, one day at a time.

Joan Dittmer

May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

Romans 15:5-7
The English Standard Version

O Father, may it never be said of us that having come to an open door, we closed it;
having come to a lighted candle, we quenched it;
having heard the voice of a neighbor begging bread, we made denial, speaking of our own case.

Question: What kind of God would put people through such agony?  What kind of God would give you families and then ask you to leave them?  What kind of God would give you friends, and then ask you to say goodbye?
Answer: A God who knows that the deepest love is built not on passion and romance but on a common mission and sacrifice.
Answer: A God who knows that we are only pilgrims, and that eternity is so close that any “Goodbye” is in reality a “See you tomorrow.”
Answer: A God who did it himself.

Max Lucado

And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be of anxious mind.  For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them.  Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things shall be yours as well.

Luke 12:29-31
The Revised Standard Version

The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.

Let us ask ourselves as we arise each morning, What is my work today?  We do not know where the influence of today will end.  Our lives may outgrow all our present thoughts and outdazzle all our dreams.  God puts each fresh morning, each new chance of life, into our hands as a gift, to see what we will do with it.

Anna R. Brown Lindsay

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ.  He is the true God and eternal life.

1 John 5:20
The English Standard Version

God may not always answer prayers, but he always answers people.

TIME WELL SPENT
Spend your time in nothing which you know must be repented of;
in nothing on which you might not pray for the blessing of God;
in nothing which you could not review with a quiet conscience on your dying bed;
in nothing which you might not safely and properly be found doing if death should surprise you in the act.

Richard Baxter

“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”

Acts 2:36

A lot of people want to serve God, but only in an advisory capacity.
