JUNE 2ND

FROM THE HEART
A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL
CALENDAR
by HELEN STEINER RICE



WHERE THERE IS LOVE,
THERE IS A SONG
TO HELP WHEN THINGS
ARE GOING WRONG.



HE SANG TO THE LORD THE WORDS OF THIS
SONG WHEN THE LORD DELIVERED HIM FROM
THE HAND OF ALL HIS ENEMIES
AND FROM THE HAND OF SAUL.
HE SAID; I LOVE YOU, O LORD, MY STRENGTH.



PSALM 18:1



TODAY SING ALOUD THE MELODY
IN YOUR HEART.





HOPE IS NEVER WASTED.
IT IS ALWAYS BENEFICIAL,
IF ONLY TO CLARIFY
WHAT WE WANT FROM LIFE.





FOR IN HOPE WE WERE SAVED.
NOW HOPE THAT IS SEEN IS NOT HOPE.
FOR WHO HOPES FOR WHAT IS SEEN?
BUT IF WE HOPE FOR WHAT WE DO NOT SEE,
WE WAIT FOR IT WITH PATIENCE.



ROMANS 8:24-25



HOPE IS THE JOYFUL LIBERATION OF THE HEART
FROM THE DARKEST PRISON OF DESPAIR.



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



THE HAND OF THE LORD
WAS UPON ME THERE.



EZEKIEL 3:22



DID YOU EVER HEAR OF ANYONE
BEING MUCH USED FOR CHRIST WHO
DID NOT HAVE SOME SPECIAL WAITING TIME?
GOD IS JUST AS LOVING WHEN WE DO NOT
SEE OR FEEL HIS LOVE. HE KNOWS BEST
WHAT WILL REALLY RIPEN AND FURTHER
HIS WORK IN US.



PREPARING YOUR HEART
FOR PRAYER



PRAYER IS THE DETERMINATION TO BE ALONE BEFORE GOD,
WITH NO GALLERY TO PLAY TO AND NO DISTRACTING COMPARISONS TO MAKE.

-JAMES HOUSTON-



"MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS,
NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS," DECLARES
THE LORD. "AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN
THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN
YOUR WAYS, AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS."



ISAIAH 55:8-9



BEHOLD, THE LORD GOD WILL COME WITH POWER,
AND HIS ARM WILL RULE FOR HIM.
BEHOLD, HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM, AND
HIS RECOMPENCE ACCOMPANIES HIM. HE
WILL FEED HIS FLOCK LIKE A SHEPHERD;
HE WILL GATHER THE LAMBS IN HIS ARMS
AND CARRY THEM CLOSE TO HIS HEART;
HE WILL GENTLY LEAD THOSE THAT HAVE YOUNG.



ISAIAH 40:10-11



I KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER
FOR GOOD TO THOSE WHO LOVE GOD, TO
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN CALLED ACCORDING
TO HIS PURPOSE.



ROMANS 8:28



WE MUST ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER DAILY,
AS LONG AS IT IS STILL CALLED "TODAY," LEST ANY OF US BE HARDENED BY THE DECEITFULNESS OF SIN.



HEBREWS 3:13



LORD, I THANK YOU THAT YOUR WAYS ARE
LIMITLESS AND THAT YOU FEED YOUR FLOCK
LIKE A SHEPHERD. I THANK YOU FOR WORKING
ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR MY HIGHEST GOOD.
HELP ME TO BE A SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO OTHERS.

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