Be Encouraged by God’s Word
He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!"
— Revelation 21:5, NIV
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
The words of Christ are not an invitation to holy slackness. If you answer Christ's invitation, the room into which you are introduced will not be a room in which to rest. It will be a well-equipped workshop in which we are shown the right use of our muscles and tools, a room where we work side by side with the One of whom it is said that, "wherever He comes, He brings His tools with Him."
— Evelyn Underhill
Pray Together with Us
O God, give us the will and the desire to launch out into deep waters, and to aim for the goals that are high and difficult; make us responsive to great thing when they call us; when our own powers are inadequate, show us where to turn for the help we need.
— Theodore Parker Ferris
