Weinel: the path of humility

Tuesday, January 27, 2015
Meditation:
    And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.
    —Isaiah 35:8 (NIV)
Quotation:
    There is yet another, a more excellent way: it is to go forward with heart glad and thankful for progress in all that is good, and to look upon increased conviction of sin as a part of such progress. This path true and humble men of heart can alone tread, and neither Philistine, self-satisfied respectability, nor Nietzsche’s “superman” can walk thereon, but only such as gratefully acknowledge that the wiser and the better they become, they receive all from their heavenly Father.
    ... Heinrich Weinel (1874-1936), St. Paul, the Man and His Work, New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, 1906, p. 93 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, grant that I may walk forgiven with You, despite my sins and flaws. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
