Daily Devotion - Thursday, September 1

Blending Some New and
Some Old Quotes

“I believe with every fiber of my being that when we are
struck down by adversity, God weeps with us and then,
because we are so loved,
God heals us in ways we can never expect or even imagine.”

“When you call to me, I will answer you.
I will be with you in your troubles,
I will rescue you and honor you.
With long life I will satisfy you
and show you my salvation.”


This week I am blending contemporary quotes with Biblical verses. I invite you to ponder today's blend. Obviously, I found this exercise helpful, hopefully you will too!

Our first quote today is attributed to Sarah Ban Breathnach who publishes a magazine, Simple Abundance. Sounds like she has journeyed in some of life's darker valleys and discovered a presence accompanying her. The second quote is an old Jewish hymn found in the Bible as part of Psalm 91. This powerful hymn deserves your attention. Take some time today or tonight, look it up and meditate on it. You won't be disappointed!

For now, I pray that you will have a blessed day in your work and in your play.
