MAY 30TH

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



THE BEAUTY OF TWILIGHT, THE FRESHNESS OF DAWN,
THE COOLNESS OF DEW ON A GREEN VELVET LAWN-
GREAT IS OUR LOSS WHEN WE NO LONGER FIND
A THANKFUL RESPONCE TO THINGS OF THIS KIND.



AND HE SHALL BRING FORTH THY RIGHTEOUSNESS AS
THE LIGHT, AND THY JUDGMENT AS THE NOONDAY.



PSALM 37:6



TODAY RESPOND WITH DEEP APPRECIATION TO
SCENES PAINTED BY OUR MASTER ARTIST.





HOPE OPENS OUR HEARTS
AND LESSENS OUR WOES.
IT FIGHTS AGAINST STRIFE
AND VANQUISHES FOES.
IT CAN BE AS SMALL AS A SMILE
OR AS LONG AS THE DAY.
IT'S A GIFT THAT GROWS LARGER
WHEN YOU GIVE IT AWAY.



HOPE ACTS AS A POWER TOOL
THAT BREAKS THE CHAINS OF OUR CAPTIVITY
AND SHATTERS THE BONDS OF NEGATIVITY.



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



LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE
BEFORE MEN, THAT THEY
MAY SEE YOUR GOOD DEEDS...



MATTHEW 5:16



SHINING IS ALWAYS COSTLY. AN
UNLIT CANDLE DOES NO SHINING
BURNING MUST COME BEFORE
SHINING. WE CANNOT BE OF GREAT
USE TO OTHERS WITHOUT COST TO
OURSELVES. MANY WANT ... THE
SHINING WITHOUT THE BURNING, BUT
CRUCIFIXION COMES BEFORE CORONATION.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



PRAYER AND HELPLESSNESS ARE INSEPARABLE.
ONLY HE WHO IS HELPLESS CAN TRULY PRAY.

-OLE H. HALLESBY-



ONCE GOD HAS SPOKEN; TWICE I HAVE HEARD THIS;
THAT POWER BELONGS TO GOD, AND THAT YOU, O LORD,
ARE LOVING. FOR YOU REWARD EACH PERSON
ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE.



PSALM 62:11:12



HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE IGNORE GODS GREAT
SALVATION? THIS SALVATION, WHICH WAS FIRST
ANNOUNCED BY THE LORD, WAS CONFIRMED BY
THOSE WHO HEARD HIM. GOD ALSO BORE WITNESS
TO IT BY SIGNS AND WONDERS AND VARIOUS
MIRACLES AND GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
DISTRIBUTED ACCORDING TO HIS WILL.



HEBREWS 2:3-4



YOU WILL INSTRUCT ME AND TEACH ME IN THE WAY
I SHOULD GO; YOU WILL COUNSEL ME AND WATCH OVER ME.



PSALM 32:8



THERE SHOULD BE NO DIVISION IN THE BODY,
BUT ITS MEMBER SHOULD HAVE THE SAME
CONCERN FOR EACH OTHER. IF ONE MEMBER
SUFFERS, ALL THE MEMBERS SUFFER WITH IT;
IF ONE MEMBER IS HONORED, ALL THE MEMBERS
REJOICE WITH IT. NOW WE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST,
AND EACH ONE OF US IS A MEMBER OF IT.



1 CORINTHIANS 12:25-27



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR WONDROUS POWER
AND FOR THE GREATNESS OF YOUR SALVATION IN
JESUS. I THANK YOU FOR INSTRUCTING AND
TEACHING ME IN THE WAY I SHOULD GO, AND I
ASK THAT YOU WOULD PUT WITHIN ME A DEEPER
CONCERN FOR THE WELFARE AND UNITY OF
THE BODY OF CHRIST.

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