CQOD: 05/14/06 -- Newton: preparation for joy
Christian Quotation of the Day
May 14, 2006Feast of Matthias the Apostle
So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated.
-- 2 Corinthians 12:7 (ESV)
Quotation:
God often takes a course for accomplishing His purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings, wishes and prospects when He is about to give us the desire of our hearts.
... John Newton (1725-1807)
Quiet time reflection:
Lord, I rest in the hope of joy.

Thank you, Robert, for your faithful ministry of CQOD. I have so often received blessing and uplifting by these quotes and scriptures, and, as often, been convicted to repentance, that it is past time for me to express my appreciation. May you be blessed as well today.
Susan
