Pink: the purposes of God

Wednesday, October 1, 2014
    Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533
    Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897
Meditation:
    “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
    —Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Prayer is not intended to change God’s purpose, nor is it to move Him to form fresh purposes. God has decreed that certain events shall come to pass through the means He has appointed for their accomplishment.
    ... A. W. Pink (1886-1952), The Sovereignty of God [1918], CCEL, 1972, p. 181 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Change my heart, Lord, so that it agrees with Your will. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
