MARCH 19TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



I SEE THE DEW GLISTEN IN
CRYSTAL-LIKE SPLENDOR
WHILE GOD, WITH A TOUCH
THAT IS GENTLE AND TENDER,
WRAPS UP THE NIGHT AND
SOFTLY TUCKS IT AWAY
AND HANGS OUT THE SUN
TO HERALD A NEW DAY.




THE SUN SHALL NOT SMITE YOU
BY DAY, NOR THE MOON BY NIGHT.




PSALM 121:6



TODAY WELCOME THE FRESHNESS
OF MORNING AND THE OPPORTUNITIES
THAT AWAIT YOU WITH THE
START OF A NEW DAY.






HOPE IS THE JOYFUL LIBERATION OF THE HEART
FROM THE DARKEST PRISON OF DESPAIR.




SEATED ON AN OUTCROPPING OF ROCK
HIGH ABOVE THE SNOWBOUND VALLEY,
MY EYE IS DRAWN TO THE EVERGREEN,
AND HOPE STIRS WITHIN MY BREAST.




IT IS HOPE WHICH MAINTAINS
MOST OF MANKIND.

STREAMS IN THE DESERT
DAILY THOUGHTS FROM
THE DEVOTIONAL CLASSIC
by MRS. CHARLES E.
COWMAN



I WILL SEND DOWN SHOWERS
IN SEASON; THERE WILL BE
SHOWERS OF BLESSING.




EZEKIEL 34:26



THE FRUITFUL LIFE SEEKS SHOWERS
AS WELL AS SUNSHINE... BE THIS
MY CROWN, O LORD.
I ONLY
TRIUMPH IN THEE WHEN I HAVE
LEARNED THE RADIANCE OF THE RAIN.




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



STUDY WITHOUT PRAYER IS
ATHEISM; AND PRAYER WITHOUT
STUDY IS PRESUMPTION.

-BISHOP SANDERSON-



THE WORD OF THE LORD IS UPRIGHT,
AND ALL HIS WORK IS DONE IN FAITHFULNESS.

HE LOVES RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND JUSTICE; THE EARTH IS FULL
OF THE LOVINGKINDNESS
OF THE LORD.




PSALM 33:4-5



IN CHRIST I HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD,
THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE RICHES OF GOD'S GRACE THAT HE LAVISHED ON
ME WITH ALL WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING.




EPHESIANS 1:7-8



WHOEVER WOULD LOVE LIFE AND SEE GOOD
DAYS MUST KEEP HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL
AND HIS LIPS FROM SPEAKING GUILE.
HE MUST
TURN FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; HE MUST
SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT.
FOR THE EYES
OF THE LORD ARE ON THE RIGHTEOUS, AND
HIS EARS ATTEND TO THEIR PRAYER,
BUT THE FACE OF THE LORD IS AGAINST
THOSE WHO DO EVIL.




1 PETER 3:10-12



I WILL NOT LET LOVE AND TRUTH LEAVE ME; I WILL BIND
THEM AROUND MY NECK AND WRITE THEM ON THE
TABLET OF MY HEART.




PROVERBS 3:3



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAITHFULNESS AND
FOR FULLY BEARING MY SINS.
I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
GIFT OF REDEMPTION AND FORGIVENESS.
HELP ME
TO TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND CLING TO
THE PATH OF LOVE AND TRUTH.


MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE
WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS!
IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY,
AMEN.
