II Corinthians 4:5-7
"For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, Who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us."
Meditation
"Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is Thine; Thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and Thou art exalted as Head above all." I Chronicles 29:11
You want music? GET INTO THE CONCERT HALL. You want PEACE, SWEET AND UNRUFFLED? THEN GET INTO THE SOURCE OF ALL PEACE. You want freedom from all fear? THEN GET INTO THE INVINCIBLE ONE! You want full victory? THEN GET INTO HIM WHO CONQUERED THE WORLD, DEATH, AND THE DARK DOMAIN!
Gems for Daily Living
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51:10
Ask yourself this question DAILY: "Has my life this day GLORIFIED the Father?" (Have my words honored Jesus? Have my deeds been honorable and founded in love? Have my thoughts been pure and God-aspiring?)
Gems for Daily Living
"And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even." I Chronicles 23:30
"Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day." Psalm 25:5
Never listen to the counsel of your friends, especially of such who haven't been born into the Kingdom of God. Taking advice from those who are in and of this world, constitutes a spiritual defilement which will bring you grief. Bear in mind that the right child first listens to the parent's word instead of playmates or strangers.
