FROM TODAY’S READING (9/24/2019)...
“He who is silent is forgotten;
he who abstains is taken at his word;
he who does not advance falls back;
he who stops is overwhelmed, distanced, crushed;
he who ceases to grow greater becomes smaller;
he who leaves off, gives up;
the stationary condition is the beginning of the end.”
Henri Frédéric Amiel
Proverbs 4:23-27 (NLT) Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech.
Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.
Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.
Don’t get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.
Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT) No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.
