Thoughts for the Quiet Hou

January 15 They shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint Isa. 40:31 This, my soul, is the triumph of thy being—to be able to walk with God! Flight belongs to the young soul; it is the romance of religion. To run without weariness belongs to the lofty soul; it is the beauty of religion. But to walk and not faint belongs to the perfect soul; it is the power of religion. Canst thou walk in white through the stained thoroughfares of men? Canst thou touch the vile and polluted ones of earth and retain thy garments pure? Canst thou meet in contact with the sinful and be thyself undefiled? Then thou hast surpassed the flight of the eagle! George Matheson  Hardman, Samuel G., and Dwight Lyman Moody. Thoughts for the Quiet Hour . Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997.

Thoughts for the Quiet Hou

February 20 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed Heb. 11:8 Whither he went, he knew not; it was enough for him to know that he went with God . He leaned not so much upon the promises as upon the Promiser . He looked not on the difficulties of his lot, but on the King , eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God , who had deigned to appoint his course, and would certainly vindicate Himself . O glorious faith! This is thy work, these are thy possibilities: contentment to sail with sealed orders, because of unwavering confidence in the love and wisdom of the Lord High Admiral : willinghood to rise up, leave all, and follow Christ , because of the glad assurance that earth’s best cannot bear comparison with Heaven’s least.

January 2 My reward is with me Rev. 22:12 We are to be rewarded, not only for work done, but for burdens borne; and I am not sure but that the brightest rewards will be for those who have borne burdens without murmuring. On that day He will take the lily, that has been growing so long among thorns, and lift it up to be the glory and wonder of all the universe; and the fragrance of that lily will draw forth ineffable praises from all the hosts of Heaven.
