CQOD: 10/11/06 -- Tozer: the eye of faith

Christian Quotation of the Day

October 11, 2006

Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675

Meditation:
    And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."
    -- John 19:37 (ESV)

Quotation:
    Like the eye which sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While we are looking at God, we do not see ourselves—blessed riddance. The man who has struggled to purify himself and has had nothing but repeated failures will experience real relief when he stops tinkering with his soul and looks away to the perfect One.
    ... A. W. Tozer (1897-1963), The Pursuit of God [1948]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, keep my eyes focused on you.
