CQOD: 01/11/06 -- Baillie: open to Thee

Christian Quotation of the Day

January 11, 2006

Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915

Meditation:
    Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison--that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.
    -- Colossians 4:2-4 (ESV)

Quotation:
    Give me an open ear, O God, that I may hear Thy voice
        calling me to high endeavor.
    Give me an open mind, O God, a mind ready to receive and to welcome
        such new light of knowledge as it is Thy will to reveal to me.
    Give me open eyes, O God, eyes quick to discover
        Thine indwelling in the world which Thou hast made.
    Give me open hands, O God, hands ready to share with all who are in want
        the blessings with which Thou hast enriched my life.
    ... John Baillie (1886-1960)
