Finally, Friday is here!

Quote Unquote

You may look upon some providences once and again, and see little or nothing in them, but look “seven times,” that is, meditate often upon them, and you will see their increasing glory, like that increasing cloud (1 Kings 18: 44)-John Flavel

Sleep

Today morning, I thought of the blessings of sleep and rest. After a long day at work, it is so good to lie down and rest. Sleep is surely a gift from God.  To sleep and forget about everything around you is a blessing. Nothing rejuvenates like sleep. Things that trouble your mind seem trivial when you sleep over it and wake up the next day!

One verse that comes to mind is Psalm 4: 8

“In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for you O Lord make me dwell in safety!”

Monday Musings

“We are simple people. You can’t remember ten things at once. Invariably, if you could remember just one true thing in the moment of trial, you’d be different. Bible ‘verses’ aren’t magic. But God’s words are revelations of God from God for our redemption.

“When you actually remember God, you do not sin. The only way we ever sin is by suppressing God, by forgetting, by tuning out his voice, switching channels, and listening to other voices. When you actually remember, you actually change. In fact, remembering is the first change.”

– David Powlison, Making All Things New

Good Morning Weekend :)

Capturing Symmetry

I love taking pics from my mobile phone. They are random and yet I somehow try to capture symmetry in what I see!

There are no ordinary people

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare.  

All day long we are in some degree helping each other to one or other of these destinations.  It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics.  

There are no ordinary people.  You have never talked to a mere mortal.  Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat.  But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.
