Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

All the toil of man is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied. Better is a handful of quietness than two hands full of toil and a striving after wind. And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. (Ecc 6:7, 4:6; Mat 6:27; Php 4:6-7; Pro 3:5-6; Psa 127:2)

Today's Thought

 Today's Thought:

O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. (Psa 139:1-4, 86:11; Rom 7:18; Psa 139:9-10)
