Thoughtful Wisdom
“Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it a thousand times. This confidence in God’s grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all his creatures.Hence a man is ready and glad, without compulsion, to do good to everyone, to serve everyone, to suffer everything, in love and praise of God, who has shown him this grace.” – Martin Luther
“My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty. I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me.I have stilled and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hopein the Lord both now and for evermore.”‘ – Psalm 131

The plus sign of the cross–changing negativism into positivism, checkmating death by life, conquering
hate by love, eclipsing crucifixion through resurrection, converting skeptics into believers.
Today’s Affirmation
Rather than saying the Lord might provide, or the Lord could provide if He chose to, I will exercise faith’s radical optimism–the Lord will provide no matter what happens.
