FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



GOD, HELP ME IN MY FEEBLE WAY
TO SOMEHOW DO SOMETHING EACH DAY
TO SHOW YOU THAT I LOVE YOU BEST
AND THAT MY FAITH WILL STAND EACH TEST.




PROVE ME, O LORD, AND TRY ME; TEST MY
HEART AND MY MIND.
FOR THY STEADFAST
LOVE IS BEFORE MY EYES, AND I WALK
IN FAITHFULNESS TO THEE.




PSALM 26:2-3



TODAY LET YOUR FAITH HELP
YOU TO PASS THE TEST.






FROM EACH OF LIFE'S MISFORTUNES,
LARGE OR SMALL, COMES A NEW BEGINNING,
AN OPPORTUNITY TO RENEW YOUR
FAITH IN THE FUTURE.




WHEN THE WORLD AROUND US GROWS COLD AND
CHAOTIC, FAITH IS THE BALM THAT SOOTHES A
FEARFUL HEART AND THE BLANKET THAT COMFORTS
AN ANXIOUS MIND.




GREAT FAITH IS NOT FOUND; IT IS MADE OF
TINY DEMONSTRATIONS OF COMMITMENT ON A DAILY BASIS.






...WHENEVER YOU FACE TRIALS OF ANY KIND,
CONSIDER IT NOTHING BUT JOY, BECAUSE YOU
KNOW THAT THE TESTING OF YOUR FAITH
PRODUCES ENDURANCE; AND LET ENDURANCE
HAVE ITS FULL EFFECT, SO THAT YOU MAY BE
MATURE AND COMPLETE, LACKING IN NOTHING.




JAMES 1:2-4



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



ABRAHAM REMAINED STANDING
BEFORE THE LORD.




GENESIS 18:22



IT IS NO SMALL THING TO BE ON TERMS
OF FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD.
PERHAPS
ABRAHAM'S HEIGHT OF FAITH AND
FRIENDSHIP SEEMS BEYOND OUR LITTLE
POSSIBILITIES.
DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED,
ABRAHAM GREW; SO MAY WE.
HE WENT
STEP BY STEP, NOT BY GREAT LEAPS.




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



HE WHO FAILS TO PRAY
DOES NOT CHEAT GOD.
HE CHEATS HIMSELF.

-GEORGE FAILING-



O LORD, THE GOD OF OUR FATHERS, ARE YOU NOT
THE GOD WHO IS IN HEAVEN? ARE YOU NOT THE
RULER OVER ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE NATIONS?
POWER AND MIGHT ARE IN YOUR HAND, AND NO ONE
IS ABLE TO WITHSTAND YOU.




2 CHRONICLES 20:6



I WILL TELL OF THE LOVINGKINDNESSES OF THE LORD,
THE PRAISES OF THE LORD, ACCORDING TO ALL THE
LORD HAS DONE FOR US, AND THE GREAT GOODNESS
TOWARD THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL, WHICH HE HAS
BESTOWED ON THEM ACCORDING TO HIS MERCIES,
AND ACCORDING TO THE MULTITUDE
OF HIS LOVINGKINDNESSES.




ISAIAH 63:7



"THE LORD IS MY PORTION," SAYS MY SOUL;
"THEREFORE, I WILL WAIT FOR HIM.
" THE LORD
IS GOOD TO THOSE WHO WAIT FOR HIM, TO
THE SOUL WHO SEEKS HIM.
IT IS GOOD TO HOPE
SILENTLY FOR THE SALVATION OF THE LORD.




LAMENTATIONS 3:24-26



NO ONE SHOULD SEEK HIS OWN GOOD,
BUT THE GOOD OF OTHERS.




1 CORINTHIANS 10:24



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR POWER AND MIGHT
AND FOR YOUR LOVINGKINDNESS.
I THANK YOU
FOR BEING MY PORTION.
TEACH ME ALWAYS TO
BE MINDFUL OF THE NEEDS OF OTHERS.


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