Look thou upon me,
and be merciful unto me,
as thou usest to do unto those
that love thy name.
Order my steps in thy word:
and let not any iniquity
have dominion over me.
Psalms 119:132-133

The Scriptures {Hart}
Posted in Fear, Heart, Knowledge, Name, Poetry, Scripture, Soul, Truth, Word on August 9, 2008 | No Comments »
Say, Christian, would’st thou thrive,
In knowledge of thy Lord?
Against no scripture ever strive,
But tremble at His word.
Revere the sacred page;
To injure any part,
Betrays, with blind and feeble rage,
A hard and haughty heart.
If aught there dark appear,
Bewail thy want of sight;
No imperfection can be there,
For all God’s words are right.
The Scriptures and the Lord
Bear one tremendous [...]
Forgiven {unknown}
Posted in Death, Forgiveness, Poetry, Word on July 23, 2008 | No Comments »
Not far from New York is a cemetery lone.
Close guarding its grave stands a simple headstone,
And all the inscription is one word alone - “FORGIVEN.”
No sculpture’s fine art hath embellished its form,
But constantly there, through the calm and the storm,
It beareth this word from a poor fallen worm - “FORGIVEN.”
It shows not the place of [...]

“And he requested for himself that he might die.”
–1 Kings 19:4
It was a remarkable thing that the man who was never to die, for whom God had ordained an infinitely better lot, the man who should be carried to heaven in a chariot of fire, and be translated, that he should not see death–should thus [...]
Hold Your Tongue

He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Proverbs 17:27-28
The Peacemaker’s Battle {J.R. Miller}
Posted in Bitterness, Blessing, Devil, J.R. Miller, Word on July 14, 2008 | No Comments »
It is very easy, if you are talking to one who has a little distrust of another or a little bitterness against another, to say a word which will increase the distrust or add to the bitterness. We like to approve and justify the one with whom we are speaking, and in doing so we [...]
The Home Friendships {J.R. Miller}
Posted in Devotions, Friendship, Grace, Help, J.R. Miller, Life, Love, Soul, Word on July 11, 2008 | No Comments »
Friendships in the family require most gentle care and cultivation. We must win each other’s love within home-doors just as we win the love of those outside — by the sweet ministries and graces of affection. We must prove ourselves worthy of being loved by those who are nearest; they will not truly love us [...]
How to Have Everlasting Life

Verily, verily, I say unto you,
He that heareth my word,
and believeth on him that sent me,
hath everlasting life,
and shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life.
Jesus ~ John 5:24
Speak Out the Loving Words {J.R. Miller}
Posted in Blessing, Death, Devotions, Giving, Heart, J.R. Miller, Word on June 15, 2008 | No Comments »
How much better would it be if we were more generous and lavish of our good words when our friends can be cheered and blessed by them! Sometimes we get the lesson of keeping silence over-learned, and let hearts starve for lack of kindly words which lie meanwhile on our tongues ready to be spoken. [...]
Watch Your Words {unknown}

“Let the word’s of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight,
O Lord, my strength,
and my redeemer.”
{Psalm 19:14 }
Keep a watch on your words, my darlings,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet like the bees’ fresh honey,
Like the bees, they have terrible stings.
They can bless like the warm, glad sunshine,
And brighten a [...]
Tell Men So! {unknown}
Posted in Heart, Help, Humility, Love, Poetry, Soul, Word on May 28, 2008 | No Comments »
If you hear a kind word spoken
of some worthy soul you know,
It may fill his heart with sunshine
If you only tell him so.
If a deed, however humble,
helps you on your way to go,
Seek the one whose hand has helped you,
seek him out and tell him so!
If your heart is touched and tender
toward a sinner, lost [...]
Thy Burden Bearer {C.H. Spurgeon}

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain thee.”
–Psalm 55:22
Care, even though exercised upon legitimate objects, if carried to excess, has in it the nature of sin. The precept to avoid anxious care is earnestly inculcated by our Saviour, again and again; it is reiterated by the apostles; and it is one which [...]
