APRIL 7TH
FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



THERE ARE SOME FOLK WE MEET IN PASSING
AND FORGET THEM AS SOON AS THEY GO-
THERE ARE SOME WE REMEMBER
WITH PLEASURE
AND FEEL HONORED AND PRIVILEGED
TO KNOW.




WISE CONDUCT IS PLEASURE TO A
MAN OF UNDERSTANDING.




PROVERBS 10:23



TODAY RECALL SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE PROFOUNDLY INFLUENCED YOUR LIFE.






HOW YOU FEEL IS DETERMINED BY HOW YOU
THINK YOU FEEL.
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HAPPY
YOU WILL BE; IF YOU EXPECT GOOD THINGS TO
HAPPEN THEY WILL.




IF YOU WISH TO ADVANCE INTO THE INFINITE,
EXPLORE THE FINITE IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
-JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE-



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



I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIENDS...



JOHN 15:15



TO KNOW HIM IS LIFE'S HIGHEST
ATTAINMENT; AND AT ALL COSTS, EVERY
CHRISTIAN SHOULD STRIVE TO BE
"ON THE SAME OLD TERMS WITH HIM."




PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



TIS NOT ENOUGH TO BEND THE KNEE,
AND WORDS OF PRAYER TO SAY;
THE HEART MUST WITH LIPS AGREE;
OR ELSE WE DO NOT PRAY.
-UNKNOWN-



THE LORD REIGNS FOREVER; HE HAS
ESTABLISHED HIS THRONE FOR JUDGEMENT.

HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS,
AND HE WILL GOVERN THE PEOPLE WITH JUSTICE.

THE LORD WILL ALSO BE A REFUGE FOR THE
OPPRESSED, A STRONGHOLD
IN TIMES OF TROUBLE.
THOSE WHO KNOW YOUR
NAME WILL TRUST IN YOU,
FOR YOU, LORD, HAVE NEVER FORSAKEN
THOSE WHO SEEK YOU.




PSALM 9:7-10



WHAT THE LAW WAS POWERLESS TO DO IN
THAT IT WAS WEAKENED THROUGH THE FLESH,
GOD DID BY SENDING HIS OWN SON IN THE
LIKENESS OF SINFUL FLESH, ON ACCOUNT
OF SIN.




ROMANS 8:3



GOD RAISED ME UP WITH CHRIST AND SEATED
ME WITH HIM IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS IN
CHRIST JESUS, IN ORDER THAT IN THE COMING AGES
HE MIGHT SHOW THE SURPASSING RICHES OF HIS GRACE
IN KINDNESS TOWARD ME IN CHRIST JESUS.




EPHESIANS 2:67



I WILL PURSUE THE THINGS THAT LEAD TO
PEACE AND TO MUTUAL EDIFICATION.




ROMANS 14:19



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE A REFUGE
FOR THE OPPRESSED AND THAT YOU SENT
YOUR SON ON MY BEHALF.
I THANK YOU FOR
RAISING ME UP WITH CHRIST.
HELP ME TO
PURSUE PEACE WITH OTHERS.

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