CQOD: 08/05/06 -- Pascal: perceiving divine truth

Christian Quotation of the Day

August 5, 2006

Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642

Meditation:
    One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.
    -- Acts 16:14 (ESV)

Quotation:
    It has pleased God that divine verities should not enter the heart through the understanding, but the understanding through the heart.
    ... Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You do not wait upon my understanding, but touch my heart with Your love.
