CQOD: 08/26/07 -- Carmichael: the special word

Christian Quotation of the Day

August 26, 2007Meditation:
    Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.
    -- Psalms 119:97-99 (NIV)

Quotation:
    Have you noticed this? Whatever need or trouble you are in, there is always something to help you in your Bible, if only you go on reading till you come to the word God specially has for you. I have noticed this often. Sometimes the special word is in the portion you would naturally read, or in the Psalm for the day, ... but you must go on till you find it, for it is always somewhere. You will know it the moment you come to it, for it will rest your heart.
    ... Amy Carmichael (1867-1951), Edges of His Ways [1955]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, Your Spirit speaks to me through Scripture.

CQOD: 08/25/07 -- Allshorn: the mystery

Christian Quotation of the Day

August 25, 2007

Commemoration of John Owen, spiritual writer, 1683

Meditation:
    Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."
    -- Matthew 13:34,35 (NIV)

---

Quotation:
    Never was a book so full of incredible sayings—everywhere the sense of mystery dominates; unless you feel that mystery, all becomes prosaic—nothing about God is prosaic.
    ... Florence Allshorn (1887-1950), Notebooks [1957]

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, I bow before Your presence in Scripture.
