MAY 29TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



EACH TIME YOU PICK A DAFFODIL
OR GATHER VIOLETS ON SOME HILL
OR TOUCH A LEAF OR SEE A TREE,
IT'S ALL GOD WHISPERING, "THIS IS ME."



SEEK THE LORD AND HIS STRENGTH, SEEK
HIS PRESENCE CONTINUALLY! REMEMBER
THE WONDERFUL WORKS THAT HE HAS DONE,
HIS MIRACLES, AND THE JUDGEMENTS HE UTTERED.



PSALM 105:4,5



TODAY ENJOY GOD'S HANDIWORK, HIS
FINGERPRINTS, AND LOVING TOUCHES
WHICH ABOUND IN NATURE.







REJOICE IN HOPE,
BE PATIENT IN SUFFERING,
PERSEVERE IN PRAYER.



ROMANS 12:12



WHEN YOUR DREAMS SEEM UNREACHABLE,
TRUST THAT THE FUTURE WILL
LIGHTEN YOUR BURDENS,
SMOOTH YOUR PATH,
AND URGE YOU ON TO A BRIGHTER TOMORROW.



HOPE IS THE MOST PLEASING
PASSION OF THE SOUL.

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



THE LORD CONFIDES
IN THOSE WHO FEAR
HIM; HE MAKES HIS
CONVENANT KNOWN TO THEM.



PSALM 25:14



THERE ARE SECRETS OF PROVIDENCE
WHICH GOD'S DEAR CHILDREN MAY
LEARN. IF WE TAKE WHAT HE SENDS,
AND TRUST HIM FOR THE GOODNESS
IN IT, EVEN IN THE DARK, WE SHALL
LEARN THE MEANING OF THE SECRETS
OF PROVIDENCE.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



DIVINE ACTION, IN SOME MYSTERIOUS MANNER,
IS CONDITIONED UPON BELIEVING PRAYER. THUS PRAYER
IS SET FORTH AS THE CHIEF TASK OF THE
BELIEVER. IT IS HIS RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK. IT IS GOD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ACCOMPLISH.

-CURTIS MITCHELL-



TO GOD BELONG WISDOM AND POWER; COUNSEL AND UNDERSTANDING ARE HIS.



JOB 12:13



GOD WAS PLEASED TO HAVE ALL HIS FULLNESS DWELL
IN CHRIST AND THROUGH HIM TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS TO HIMSELF, WHETHER THINGS ON EARTH OR THINGS IN HEAVEN,
HAVING MADE PEACE THROUGH THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS.



COLOSSIANS 1:19-20



THE LORD IS MY ROCK AND MY FORTRESS
AND MY DELIVERER; MY GOD IS MY ROCK;
I WILL TAKE REFUGE IN HIM, MY SHIELD AND
THE HORN OF MY SALVATION, MY STRONGHOLD
AND MY REFUGE - MY SAVIOR, YOU SAVE ME
FROM VIOLENCE. I CALL ON THE LORD, WHO
IS WORTHY OF PRAISE, AND I AM SAVED FROM MY ENEMIES.



2 SAMUEL 22:2-4



THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF GIFTS,
BUT THE SAME SPIRIT. AND THERE ARE
DIFFERENT KINDS OF SERVICE, BUT THE
SAME LORD. AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT
KINDS OF WORKING, BUT THE SAME GOD
WORKS ALL OF THEM IN ALL PEOPLE.
BUT TO EACH ONE THE MANIFESTATION
OF THE SPIRIT IS GIVEN FOR THE COMMON GOOD.



1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-7



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR WISDOM AND POWER
AND FOR ALL THE FULLNESS THAT DWELLS IN CHRIST.
I THANK YOU FOR BEING MY STRONGHOLD AND
MY REFUGE. HELP ME TO EXERCISE MY GOD-GIVEN
GIFTS IN THE SERVICE OF OTHERS.

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