Psalm 62

THE VALUE OF WISDOM

Wisdom 6:12-16

wisdom shines bright and never grows dim,
those who lover her look for her can easily find her.
She is quick to make herself known to anyone who desires her.

Get up early in the morning to find her sitting at your door.
To fasten your attention on Wisdom is to gain perfect
understanding.

 If you look for her, you will soon find peace of mind,
because she will be looking for those who are worthy of her,
and she will find you wherever you are.

She is kind and will be with you in your every thought.

Psalm 27

GREATNESS

O Lord, I will always sing of your constant love;

I will proclaim your faithfulness for ever.

I know that your love will last for all time,

that your faithfulness is as permanent as the sky.  Psalm 89:1-2

 

GREATNESS

Success often comes

to those who dare and act;

it seldom goes to the timid

who are afraid of the consequences.

We play stakes; and if we seek to

achieve great things,

it can be through great dangers.

Whether we succeed, soon or late,

none but ourselves can stop us

 from high endeavour

and from writing a noble page

in our country’s long and splendid history.   J. Nehru

LITURGICAL READINGS FOR TODAY

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER

I don’t let the troubles of life get me down,

for I know that my Lord will soon turn things around.

I’ve learned to be patient and hold to His hand.

I know through it all my God has a plan.

I’ve learned not to lean to my own thoughts and ways,

for He is the Author of all my days.

In Him is my faith, my deliverance, my rest,

for He knows that through trials, my life shall be blessed.

Why fret over things not within my control,

When God offers peace to my mind and soul?

He is my salvation; on Him I depend.

All things work together for me in the end.
