CQOD: 10/18/05 -- Quarles: He is my Altar

Christian Quotation of the Day

October 18, 2005

Feast of Luke the Evangelist

Meditation:
    What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."
    -- 2 Corinthians 6:16 (NIV)

Quotation:
    He is my Altar, I His holy place;
    I am His guest, and He my living food;
    I’m His by penitence, He is mine by grace;
    I’m His by purchase, He is mine by blood;
    He’s my supporting elm, and I His vine:
    Thus I my Best-beloved’s am; thus He is mine.
    ... Francis Quarles (1592-1644)

Quiet time reflection:
    May I never forget that I am part of His Temple.
