Zachary Taylor Quotes

Courtesy of Pinterest.

I am not a party candidate, and if elected cannot be President of a party, but the President of the whole people.

For more than half a century, during which kingdoms and empires have fallen, this Union has stood unshaken.  The patriots who formed it have long since descended to the grave; yet still it remains, the proudest monument to their memory.

Zachary Taylor (1784-1850) was elected to the office of President of the United States.  America’s 12th President only served 16 months when illness took his life.

Gipsy Smith Quote

There’s no sight like seeing the light from Calvary kiss a human face as it fills the heart with the assurance of Divine forgiveness.

From Hebrews 6:10-12:  “For God is not unjust; He will not overlook your work and the love that you showed for His sake in serving the saints, as you still do.  And we want each one of you to show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope to the very end, so that you may not become sluggish but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Rodney “Gipsy” Smith (1860-1947) was a British evangelist who conducted campaigns in both his native land and the United States for over 70 years.

Never hurry and never worry.

A right is a responsibility in reverse.

Elwyn Brooks (E. B.) White (1899-1985) was an American writer.  He authored many classic children’s books, including CHARLOTTE’S WEB, STUART LITTLE, and THE TRUMPET OF THE SWAN.

Each Faithful Step

From Isaiah 43:2:  “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”

Road ahead narrows

Stumbling with each step

Burdened with mistrust

Lack of faith, leads to missteps

 

Spirit joins each step

Uplifting at dawn

Life’s route flattens out

Mercy calling out, hang on

 

Tomorrow arrives

Trusting in God’s grace

River passing through

Each faithful step, keeping pace

 

Wilderness watered

Blossoming new leaves

Harvest steps forward

Deliverance, wrapped in sheaves

 

Eyes focused on Christ

Leading steps with love

Journey energized

Guided, by Spirit above

From Romans 8:27:  “And God, who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.”
