APRIL 3RD FROM THE HEART A DAILY INSPIRATIONAL CALENDAR by HELEN STEINER RICE WHEN YOU DO WHAT YOU DO WITH A WILL AND A SMILE, EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO WILL SEEM TWICE AS WORTHWHILE. O CONTINUE THY LOVINGKINDNESS UNTO THEM THAT KNOW THEE; AND THY RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE UPRIGHT IN HEART. PSALM 36:10 TODAY CONCENTRATE ON YOUR ATTITUDE AND YOUR EXPRESSION. IF YOU WEAR A SMILE YOUVE BOUND TO APPEAR HAPPIER AND YOU MIGHT JUST FIND YOU ARE HAPPIER. THE SONG OF THE UNIVERSE IS SUNG THROUGH EACH ONE OF US. ITS NOTES, OUR DREAMS AND VISIONS; ITS MELODY, HOW FAR WEVE COME. UNKNOWN EVEN WHEN LIFE SEEMS PERFECT, OUR SOUL STILL NEEDS TO BE RENEWED. CHANGE KEEPS US FRESH. UNKNOWN STREAMS IN THE DESERT DAILY THOUGHTS FROM THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL by MRS. CHARLES E. COWMAN THE WIND WAS AGAINST IT. MATTHEW 14:24 STORMS OF TEMPTATION APPEAR CRUEL, BUT DO THEY NOT GIVE INTENSE EARNESTNESS TO PRAYER? DO THEY NOT LEAVE ME WITH A CHARACTER REFINED? JESUS CHRIST IS NO SECURITY AGAINST STORMS, BUT HE IS PERFECT SECURITY IN STORMS. HE HAS NEVER PROMISED YOU AN EASY PASSAGE, ONLY A SAFE LANDING. PREPARING YOUR HEART FOR PRAYER WE TEND TO USE PRAYER AS A LAST RESORT, BUT JESUS WANTS IT TO BE OUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE. WE PRAY WHEN THERE IS NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO, BUT JESUS WANTS US TO PRAY BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING AT ALL. -OSWALD CHAMBERS- O LORD, YOU HAVE SEARCHED ME AND YOU KNOW ME. YOU KNOW WHEN I SIT DOWN AND WHEN I RISE UP; YOU UNDERSTAND MY THOUGHTS FROM AFAR. YOU SCRUTINIZE MY PATH AND MY LYING DOWN AND ARE ACQUAINTED WITH ALL MY WAYS. BEFORE A WORD IS ON MY TONGUE, O LORD, YOU KNOW IT COMPLETELY. PSALM 139:1-4 LORD YOU HAVE SAID, COME TO ME, ALL YOU WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. TAKE MY YOKE UPON YOU AND LEARN FROM ME, FOR I AM GENTLE AND HUMBLE IN HEART, AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. FOR MY YOKE IS EASY, AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT. MATTHEW 11:28-30 YOU HAVE ASKED THE FATHER, AND HE HAS GIVEN ME ANOTHER COMFORTER TO BE WITH ME FOREVER, EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT NEITHER SEES HIM NOR KNOWS HIM. BUT I KNOW HIM, FOR HE LIVES IN ME. JOHN 14:16-17 I WILL LEARN TO FEAR YOU ALL THE DAYS I LIVE ON EARTH AND TEACH YOUR WORDS TO MY CHILDREN. DEUTERONOMY 4:10 LORD, I THANK YOU FOR SEARCHING AND KNOWING ME AND FOR GIVING ME REST IN CHRIST. I THANK YOU FOR THE INDWELLING COMFORTER; WHO HELPS ME OBSERVE YOUR WORD AND TEACH IT TO OTHERS. MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS! MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST BE WITH US TODAY AND ALWAYS! IN JESUS NAME WE PRAY, AMEN.
