A Muddied Spring

Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.

Proverbs 25:26


There Comes A Time

 

“But again and again there comes a time in history when
the man who dares to say that two and two make four is
punished with death. The schoolteacher is well aware of
this. And the question is not one of knowing what punishment
or reward attends the making of this calculation. The question
is one of knowing whether two and two do make four”
― Albert Camus (1913-1960)

You Know Me

O Lord, you have searched me,
and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue
You know it completely, O Lord.

You hem me in – behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

Psalm 139:1-6


All The Time

“You may deceive all the people part of the time,
and part of the people all the time, but not all
the people all the time.”

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

 


From Heaven the Lord Looks Down

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry
host by the breath of his mouth.

He gathers the waters of the sea into jars; he puts the
deep into storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the
world revere him.
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.
The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes
of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations. Blessed is
the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.

From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind;
from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth—
he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
Psalm 33: 6-15

 


Listen To Me

Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not ignore it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors,
waiting at my doorway.

For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord.

 

But whoever fails to find me harms himself ;
all who hate me love death.

Proverbs 8:33-36

 


For His Own Ends

 

The Lord works out everything for his own ends—

even the wicked for a day of disaster.

Proverbs 16:4


Courage

 

“Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities… because it is the quality which guarantees all others.”

Aristotle (384-322BC)


Do Not Remain Silent

“We demand complete disestablishment of the Church
so as to be able to combat the religious fog with
purely ideological and solely ideological weapons.”

Vladimir Lenin (1860-1924)

 O God, do not remain silent; be not quiet, O God,
be not still. See how your enemies astir, how
your foes rear their head. With cunning they
conspire against your people; they plot against
those you cherish.

Psalm 83:1-3

May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they
perish in disgrace. Let them know that you, whose
name is the Lord—that you alone are the
Most High over all the earth.

Psalm 83:17-18


A World of Conflict

“In such a world of conflict, a world of victims and
executioners, it is the job of thinking people, not
to be on the side of executioners.”

Albert Camus (1913-1960)
