CQOD: 09/20/05 -- Baillie: giving thanks to God

Christian Quotation of the Day

September 20, 2005

Feast of John Coleridge Patteson, First Bishop of Melanesia, & his Companions, Martyrs, 1871

Meditation:
    And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
    -- Colossians 3:17 (NIV)

Quotation:
    For the power Thou hast given me to lay hold of things unseen:
    For the strong sense I have that this is not my home:
    For my restless heart which nothing finite can satisfy:
        I give Thee thanks, O God.
    For the invasion of my soul by Thy Holy Spirit:
    For all human love and goodness that speak to me of Thee:
    For the fullness of Thy glory outpoured in Jesus Christ:
        I give Thee thanks, O God.
    ... John Baillie (1886-1960)

Quiet time reflection:
    Am I truly thankful for the many blessings I receive?
