Your Path

May 31, 2023 testadmin

 

Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen.

Psalm 77:19

 

And the sea appears to be the most trackless of worlds! The sea is the very symbol of mystery, the grim dwelling-house of the innumerable things that have been lost. But God’s way moves here and there across this trackless wild. God is never lost among our mysteries. He knows His way about. When we are bewildered He sees the road, and He sees the end even from the beginning. Even the sea, in every part of it, is the Lord’s highway. When His way is in the sea we cannot trace it. Mystery is part of our appointed discipline.

J.H. Jowett (from Daily Meditation. 1914)

Government

May 30, 2023 testadmin

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

 

It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

John Adams (1735-1826)

The Enchanter

May 8, 2023 testadmin

Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men?
No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence
on the earth. Even from birth the wicked go astray; from the womb they
are wayward and speak lies.

Their venom is like the venom of a snake,
like that of a cobra that has stopped its ears, that will not heed
the tune of the charmer, however skillful the enchanter may be.

Break the teeth in their mouths, O God; tear out, O Lord, the fangs
of the lions!

Let them vanish like water that flows away…

Then men will say, “Surely the righteous still are
rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.”

Psalm 58:1-7; 11
