The Lord is our God.  He does bow to our hurried pace, but in silence He waits for us to meet His demands.

From Psalm 113:3:  “From the rising of the sun to its setting the name of the Lord is to be praised.”

Christ can put a spring in your step and a thrill in your heart.  Optimism and cheerfulness are products of knowing Christ.

From 2 Corinthians 13:11:  “Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell.  Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.”

As you travel through life brother

Whatever be your goal

Keep your eye upon the donut

And not upon the hole

From Psalm 23:5-6:  “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life.”

Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.

From James 1:22-24:  “But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves.  For if any are hearers of the Word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like.”

We human beings build houses because we’re alive, but we write books because we’re mortal.

All it takes is one teacher–just one–to save us from ourselves and make us forget all the others.

The grief dug by those who leave makes the nest of those who arrive in the hearts of those who hope.

Their distress is due entirely to their deliberate determination to use themselves for a purpose other than God’s.

From Ecclesiastes 3:1:  “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven.”

Who will tell the Bride?
