Be still and know that I am God

The five sisters.

Today's Choice Gleanings reading:

And the Lord God answered me and said. Habakkuk 2:2

Habakkuk took his burdens and his doubts to the Lord. From his watchpost, his vantage point high above the city, and above the people, the problems and the voices, he waited with a hearing heart for God’s revelation. And the Lord answered Habakkuk. That statement alone is staggering. It is worth inscribing at the top of our prayer lists. Habakkuk asked, not shaking his fist with demands, but with a heart eager to better know and understand his God. And God answered him. —M. MacMullen

Be still and know that I am God;
Come find your strength in the quiet place;
Be still and know that I am God.
—R. Hamilton

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands , to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible, the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel, we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message, Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked, what if the type is blurred? What if our hands are busy, with other work than His, What if our feet are walking, where sin's allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking, of things His lips would spurn, How can we hope to help Him, Unless from Him we learn? By Annie Johnson Flint (1862-1932) I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and ta...
