Donne: Keep us

Monday, July 13, 2020
Meditation:
    Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
    —Acts 7:60 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Keep us, Lord, so awake in the duties of our callings, that we may sleep in Thy peace, and wake in Thy glory.
    ... John Donne (1573-1631), Works of John Donne, vol. V, London: John W. Parker, 1839, Sermon CXLVI, p. 623 (see the book)
    See also Acts 7:60; Ps. 3:5; 4:8; 132:3-5; Acts 6:7
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, You alone grant the gift of peace.
