Be Encouraged by God’s Word
I took you from the ends of the earth,
from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, 'You are my servant';
I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
— Isaiah 41:9, NIV
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Ministers are like trumpets, which make no sounds if breath be not breathed into them. Or like Ezekiel's wheels, which move not unless the Spirit moves them. Or like Elisha's servants whose presence does no good unless Elisha's spirit be there also.
— James Flavel
Pray Together with Us
Create in me a thirst, Lord,
that only you can fill.
Take this broken fragile life
this stubborn selfish will.
Renew in me a thirst for you.
My heart is dry and cold.
Break through the earth, a spirit birth.
Dear Lord, restore my soul.
— Sheila Walsh
