Wilde: E tenebris

Saturday, December 29, 2018
    Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170
Meditation:
    A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
    He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
    —Mark 4:37-39 (NIV)
Quotation:
Come down, O Christ, and help me! reach Thy hand
For I am drowning in a stormier sea
Than Simon on the lake of Galilee:
The wine of life is spilt upon the sand,
My heart is as some famine-murdered land
Whence all good things have perished utterly,
And well I know my soul in Hell must lie
If I this night before God’s throne must stand.

“He sleeps perchance, or rideth to the chase,
Like Baal, when his prophets howled that name
From morn to noon on Carmel’s smitten height.”
Nay, peace! I shall behold, before the night,
The feet of brass, the robe more white than flame,
The wounded hands, the weary human face.
    ... Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), from Rosa Mystica [1881]The Complete Works of Oscar Wilde, v. IV, Oxford University Press, 2000, p. 39-40 (see the book)
    See also Mark 4:37-39; 1 Kings 18:26-27; Ps. 69:3; 130:1-4; John 20:26-29
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You have rescued me from my darkness.

Cundy: a branch of the one vine

Friday, December 28, 2018
    Feast of the Holy Innocents
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one Teacher, the Christ.
    —Matthew 23:10 (NIV)
Quotation:
    While the local church is not the total body of Christ, it must be seen to be [that body’s] particular expression in its worship, ministry, and mission. It has authority to preach the gospel and administer the sacraments, but does not possess that authority in isolation, only as part of the total catholic Church. The authority of the local church can never, therefore, be absolute or autonomous, for, if it [asserts such authority], it denies that it is a part of the larger body and confuses the Church of God with its particular expression in the local church. It therefore requires a structure which allows it to act with the authority of the Church of God, because it must be Christ to its local community—while, at the same time, demonstrating that it possesses such authority only because it is part of the total Church of God whose authority is derived from its organic relationship with Christ, its Head.
    ... Ian P. M. Cundy (1945-2009), “The Church as Community”, in The People of God, Ian Cundy, ed., vol. 2 of Obeying Christ in a Changing World, John Stott, gen. ed., 3 vol., London: Fountain, 1977, p. 36 (see the book)
    See also Matt. 23:8-11; John 15:5-6; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:15-16; Col. 1:16-18; 2:18-19
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You are the source of life for Your church.

Brainerd: in the midst of darkness

Thursday, December 27, 2018
    Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist
Meditation:
Even though I walk
    through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
    —Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It is good to follow the path of duty, though in the midst of darkness and discouragement.
    ... David Brainerd (1718-1747), Memoirs of the Rev. David Brainerd, New Haven: S. Converse, 1822, p. 246 (see the book)
    See also Ps. 23:4; 119:105; Isa. 42:6-7; 60:1-3; Matt. 4:13-16; Luke 1:76-79
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, keep my eyes looking at You.

Beecher: yearning

Wednesday, December 26, 2018
    Feast of Stephen, Deacon, First Martyr
Meditation:
My soul yearns, even faints,
    for the courts of the LORD;
my heart and my flesh cry out
    for the living God.
    —Psalm 84:2 (NIV)
Quotation:
    There is not a heart but has its moments of longing,—yearning for something better, nobler, holier than it knows now.
    ... Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887) (see the book)
    See also Ps. 84:2; 42:1-2; 63:1-2; 119:81; 143:6
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You are the hope of the nations.

MacDonald: this one glad day

Tuesday, December 25, 2018
    CHRISTMAS DAY
Meditation:
    When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
    So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.
    —Luke 2:15-18 (NIV)
Quotation:
Thou hast not made, or taught me, Lord, to care
For times and seasons—but this one glad day
Is the blue sapphire clasping all the lights
That flash in the girdle of the year so fair—
When thou wast born a man, because alway
Thou wast and art a man through all the flights
Of thought, and time, and thousandfold creation’s play.
    ... George MacDonald (1824-1905), Diary of an Old Soul, London: by the author, 1880, p. 261 (see the book)
    See also Luke 2:15-18; Ps. 2:7; Matt. 1:23; Luke 2:33; 24:36-43; 1 John 4:2-3; 5:1
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You are with us!

MacDonald: without a flaw

Monday, December 24, 2018
    Christmas Eve
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say.”
    —John 12:49-50 (NIV)
Quotation:
A God must have a God for company.
And lo! thou hast the Son-God to thy friend.
Thou honour’st his obedience, he thy law.
Into thy secret life-will he doth see;
Thou fold’st him round in live love perfectly—
One two, without beginning, without end;
In love, life, strength, and truth, perfect without a flaw.
    ... George MacDonald (1824-1905), Diary of an Old Soul, London: by the author, 1880, p. 261 (see the book)
    See also John 1:1-5; Gen. 1:26; John 12:49-50; Heb. 5:7-9
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You give Your life to Your people.

L'Engle: no room

Sunday, December 23, 2018
    Advent IV
Meditation:
    “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her.
    —Luke 1:38 (NIV)
Quotation:
This is the irrational season
Where love blooms bright and wild.
Had Mary been filled with reason
There’d have been no room for the child.
    ... Madeleine L’Engle (1918-2007), “After Annuciation”, from Weather of the Heart, Wheaton, Ill.: Harold Shaw Publications, 1978, 2001, p. 69 (see the book)
    See also Luke 1:38; Isa. 7:14; Luke 1:41-42,46-55
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, make room in my heart for those You love.
