Pascal: beginning with God

Wednesday, March 6, 2019
    Ash Wednesday
Meditation:
    “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
    —Revelation 1:8 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It is impossible that God should ever be the end, if He is not the beginning. We lift our eyes on high, but lean upon the sand; and the earth will dissolve, and we shall fall while looking at the heavens.
    ... Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), Pensées (Thoughts) [1660], P.F. Collier & Son, 1910, #488, p. 163-164 (see the book)
    See also Rev. 1:8; Gen. 1:1; Ps. 46:6,10; Isa. 43:10; 44:6; 48:12; John 1:1; Rev. 1:17; 21:6; 22:13
Quiet time reflection:
    All things begin and end in You, Lord. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
