For God
alone my soul in silence waits; truly, my hope is in Him. Psalm 62:6
Sunset in Santorini
Prayer is
the soul’s sincere desire,
Unuttered
or expressed,
The motion
of a hidden fire
That
trembles in the breast.
The upward
glancing of an eye,
When none
but God is near.
-James Montgomery
The will
of God is not a 'fate' to which we submit but a creative act in our life
producing something absolutely new . . . something hitherto unforeseen by the
laws and established patterns. Our cooperation (seeking first the Kingdom of
God) consists not solely in conforming to laws but in opening our wills out to
this creative act which must be retrieved in and by us. –Thomas Merton
Strawberry moon just before sunrise
He that
planted the ear, does He not hear? He that formed the eye, does He not see? He
who admonishes the nations, will not punish? He who teaches all the world, has He
no knowledge? The LORD knows our human thoughts: how like a puff of wind they
are. Happy are they whom You instruct, O LORD! whom You teach out of Your law. Psalm 94:9-13
Let my heart be full of Your praise and Your glory all the day long. Psalm 71:8, revised by Christy
