Bounds: the center

Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
    —Matthew 17:21 (NIV)
Quotation:
    God’s true preachers have been distinguished by one great feature: they were men of prayer. Differing often in many things, they have always had a common center. They may have started from different points, and traveled by different roads, but they converged to one point: they were one in prayer. God to them was the center of attraction, and prayer was the path that led to God.

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, fill my heart with the prayer that pleases You. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
