Words to Live By

Timeless Truth 

As the waters rose higher and higher above the ground, the boat floated safely on the surface.
Genesis 7:18 NLT

Thoughtful Wisdom

“I have read Plato and Cicero sayings that are very wise and very beautiful, but I have never read in
either of them, Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden.  Our hearts are made for Thee,
O God, and we are restless until we rest in Thee.”- Augustine

   “Be still, my soul!  The waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.” 
– Katharina von Schlegel

     “Drop Thy still dews of quietness Till all our strivings cease. Take from our souls the strain and stress,             And let our ordered lives confess the beauty of Thy peace.” – John G. Whittier

Treasured Gifts

“When the storms of life are raging,” thank God for being Lord of your rocking boat. 

     When emotional earthquakes rattle your heart, thank God for His calming presence

     When the unsettled nations are rattling sabers, thank God for His sovereign control. 

     When current events frighten you, thank God for His promise of a new earth without chaos, danger,
terror or trouble. 

     When your mind is disturbed by worry, thank God for His perfect peace.

Today’s Affirmation

Taking to heart the flotation advice of Scripture, I will resign as General Manager of the Universe . . .
