Sabbath Keeping

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

and a light unto my path."

~ Psalms 119:105 ~

"Do more of what it takes to make you holy." 

"Don't ask God to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet."
"The true contemplative is not one who prepares his mind for a particular message that he wants or expects to hear, but is one who remains empty because he knows that he can never expect to anticipate the words that will transform his darkness into light. He does not even anticipate a special kind of transformation. He does not demand light instead of darkness. He waits on the Word of God in silence, and, when he is answered it is not so much by a word that bursts into his silence. It is by his silence itself, suddenly, inexplicably revealing itself to him as a word of great power, full of the voice of God." 
~ Thomas Merton ~ 

"Put some feet to those prayers." 

~ Gladys Bennett ~

"If you cut him (John Bunyan), he'd bleed Scripture!" ~ Charles H. Spurgeon ~ 

"God can heal your broken heart 

but you must give Him the pieces."

"It is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us; we don't correct Him. We do not stand over God but under him." ~ R. C. Sproul ~ 

"Sometimes you're delayed 

because God knows there's danger ahead." 

~ Sandra Bennett ~

"We must allow the word of God to confront us, to disturb our security, to undermine our complacency and to overthrow our patterns of thought and behavior." 
~ John R. W. Stott ~

"Don't judge someone 

because they sin differently than you."

"I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven." ~ A. W. Tozer ~ 
"Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." ~ Apostle Paul ~

"May you trust God 

that you are exactly where you are meant to be." 

~ Teresa of Avila ~ 

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

~ Hebrews 4:12 ~
