FEBRUARY 4th

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



WE ALL HAVE CARES AND PROBLEMS
WE CANNOT SOLVE ALONE,
BUT IF WE GO TO GOD IN PRAYER,
WE ARE NEVER ON OUR OWN.



A WISE MAN LISTENS TO ADVICE.



PROVERBS 12:15



TODAY IF YOU FEEL LONELY INVITE
JESUS TO JOIN YOU.





TODAY I AM INSPIRED TO GO BEYOND THE
BOUNDARIES OF MY WEAKNESSES, TO
CHALLENGE THE WALLS OF MY LIMITATIONS,
AND BELIEVE IN ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES.
UNKNOWN



OUR GREATEST IDEAS COME TO US IN
SILENCE AND SOLITUDE, WHERE THE
WHISPER OF INTUITION CAN ONLY BE
DISCERNED ABOVE THE SHOUT OF
INTELLECT AND THE RAUCOUSNESS OF REASON.
UNKNOWN



HUMAN FELICITY IS PRODUCED NOT SO
MUCH BY GREAT PIECES OF GOOD FORTUNE
THAT SELDOM HAPPEN, AS BY LITTLE
ADVANTAGES THAT OCCUR EVERY DAY.

-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN-



INSPIRATION'S COMPELLING CLARITY SPAWNS
INVENTIONS AND BRIDGES UNCERTAINTIES.

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



THOUGH HE SLAY ME, YET WILL I HOPE IN HIM.



JOB 13:15



THIS, CHRISTIAN, IS WHAT YOU MUST DO.
YOU MUST PUT YOUR SOUL IN ONE POSITION
AND KEEP IT THERE. YOU MUST STAY UPON
THE LORD;...NO MATTER WHAT;... AND HOLD
FAST YOUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD'S
FAITHFULNESS, HIS COVENANT ENGAGEMENT,
HIS EVERLASTING LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



WHEN A PERSON IS BORN FROM ABOVE,
THE LIFE OF THE SON OF GOD IS BORN
IN HIM, AND HE CAN EITHER STARVE
THAT LIFE OR NOURISH IT. PRAYER IS
THE WAY THE LIFE OF GOD IS NOURISHED.

-OSWALD CHAMBERS-



THERE IS NO ONE HOLY LIKE THE LORD;
THERE IS NO ONE BESIDES YOU; NOR IS
THERE ANY ROCK LIKE OUR GOD.



1 SAMUEL 2:2



GOD WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM HE
HAS MERCY, AND WILL HAVE COMPASSION
ON WHOM HE HAS COMPASSION. IT DOES
NOT DEPEND ON HUMAN DESIRE OR
EFFORT, BUT ON GOD'S MERCY.



ROMANS 9:15-16



I SHALL CONSECRATE MYSELF AND BE HOLY,
BECAUSE YOU ARE THE LORD MY GOD.
I SHALL KEEP YOUR STATUTES AND PRACTICE THEM;
YOU ARE THE LORD WHO SANCTIFIES ME.



LEVITICUS 20:7-8



A WISE MAN FEARS AND DEPARTS FROM EVIL,
BUT A FOOL IS ARROGANT AND BOLD.
A QUICK-TEMPERED MAN ACTS FOOLISHLY,
AND A MAN OF EVIL PLOTS IS HATED.



PROVERBS 14:16-17



IT IS NOT GOOD FOR A PERSON TO BE WITHOUT
KNOWLEDGE, AND HE WHO HASTENS WITH
HIS FEET SINS.



PROVERBS 19:2



LORD, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR MATCHLESS
HOLINESS AND FOR YOUR MERCY AND
COMPASSION TOWARD YOUR PEOPLE.
I THANK YOU THAT YOU ARE THE LORD
WHO SANCTIFIES ME. I WILL DEPART FROM EVIL
AND PURSUE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.

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