Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote

Photo by Erik Mclean on Pexels.com

It is one of the most beautiful compensations of life that no man can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.

From Philippians 2:3-4:  “Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves.  Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher.  He was a leading voice in America’s transcendentalist movement in the 19th century.

Seeking Direction

From James 1:5:  “ If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you.”

Life’s distant horizon

Questions sometimes remain

Seeking direction from God

His Word opens wisdom’s lane

 

Tomorrow’s shadows wait

Doubts filling empty heart

Nourishing grace sustains faith

God’s wisdom offers fresh start

 

From waves of churning seas

Promised answers shall rise

Embracing God’s blessed love

Wisdom colors daily skies

 

More struggles shall arrive

Faith’s endurance shares light

Trusting to always just ask

God’s wisdom remaining bright

From the words of American Christian writer, John Eldredge:  “Notice that we must ask.  And we will sometimes struggle to hear and struggle with what we hear.  But personally, it’s worth it.  I’m after the path of life–and He alone knows it.”

Praising heavenly Father, for He knows I have needed correction in my life.  His navigation has steered me to calmer waters and sent me in a more righteous direction.

Charles Stanley Quote

We must be careful not to judge our situations by appearance, because what seems insignificant to us may be very important in God’s eyes.

From Proverbs 19:21:  “The human mind may devise many plans, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.
