Words to Live By
Timeless Truth
The Israelites still groaned beneath their burden of slavery. They cried out for help, and their pleas for deliverance rose up to God. God heard their cries and remembered his covenant promise. He looked down on the Israelites and felt deep concern for their welfare. Exodus 2:23b-25 NLT
Thoughtful Wisdom
“If you ask me how I believe in God, how God creates himself in me, and reveals himself to me, my answer may perhaps provoke your smiles or laughter. I believe in God as I believe in my friends, because I feel the breath of his affection, feel his invisible and tangible hand drawing me, leading me, grasping me.” – Miguel de Unamuno
“Yet, in the maddening maze of things, and tossed by storm and flood. To one fixed trust my spirit clings, I know that God is good! I know not where His islands lift their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift beyond HIs love and care.” – John Greenleaf Whittier
