January 22-Sunday-Ps. 27 deserves attention over and over. I like how it shifts from different feelings as it goes through its paces.Where does it speak ot you, and where does it not speak to you at this time in life?
Monday-To be ‘whole-hearted’ means to bring our entire selves before God – our intellect, our emotional life, our dreams and intuitions, and our deepest longings. The heart is both active and receptive. The heart listens, but also hears; the heart savors and supplies nourishment to be savored; the heart responds but is also open to the call of others.”
.--- Christine Valters Paintner, PhD
Tuesday-"Many of us don't realize that the call to intimacy with God is possible, or that we are good enough or holy enough for God to love us in this personal way. Yet the Scriptures remind us over and over again that God's love is not earned: it is a gift."— from Weaving Faith and Experience"
Wednesday-Out of so much love for the world, God sends his only Son to seek us out and save us. In English the verbs to save, to salvage, to salve come from the same etymological root. Jesus has come to save us, to salvage our lives, to salve our wounds.-Br. Curtis Almquist
Thursday-“Above all, trust in the slow work of God.” - Teilhard de Chardin
Friday-"Never question the truth of what you fail to understand," the white pearl said when Rinkitink consulted it for the first time, "for the world is filled with wonders." It was great wisdom indeed, and has proved greatly helpful many times since.-Buechner
Saturday-"Someone who cares about what God cares about” is a Jewish quote alan Meyers found that applies to Christians as well, of course.
