Words to Live By

Timeless Truth 

You know how I brought you to myself and carried you on eagle’s wings.  Exodus 19:4 NLT

Thoughtful Wisdom 

“When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view I’m lost, In wonder, love and praise.” – Joseph Addison 

     “The idea of God, and the sense of His presence, intensify all noble feeling and encourage all noble effort, pour new life into our languid love, and give firmness to our vacillating purpose.” – George Eliot 

     “God is he without whom one cannot live.” – Leo Tolstoy 

     “A man whom the world could not do without. His indispensability was to the whole race, and for all time–a respect in which it is unique, solitary, divine.” – Ben Hur

Treasured Gifts 

     *  God’s wings of proven love and absolute truth, soaring us above gloomy clouds of despair

*  Aerodynamics of God’s Spirit Wind, lifting us to altitudes exceeding earthbound ambitions 

*  God’s Presence, inspiring us to fly on majestically through discouraging valleys and downward currents of fierce temptation

*  Christ our Pilot, One we can trust to see us safely through turbulent times 

Today’s Affirmation 

Looking forward to my Savior personally greeting me at my heavenly destination, I will relax and enjoy the flight.
