Daily Strength

Oh how great is Thy goodness, which Thou hast laid up for them that fear Thee; which Thou hast wrought for them that trust in Thee. – Ps 31:19

I will sing unto the Lord, because He hath dealt bountifully with me. – Ps 13:6

Thy calmness bends serene above
My restlessness to still;
Around me flows Thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will;
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.

—S. LONGFELLOW.

Daily Strength

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. – Ps 24:9

Ye are the temple of the living God. – 2 Cor 6:16

Fling wide the portals of your heart,
Make it a temple set apart
From earthly use for Heaven’s employ,
Adorned with prayer, and love, and joy.
So shall your Sovereign enter in,
And new and nobler life begin.

—G. WEISSEL.
