[Faith-talk] Quotes for Friday, July 15, 2016

[Paul Smith]

Hello and greetings to you all on this Friday as this message is being 
composed.  Of course you in New Zealand are about to enter into a brand 
new day.  No matter the time of day or day of the week it is in your 
area, I hope that all is going well for you, by God's matchless grace 
and His providential care.

Sorry folks, but there are no news tidbits for today.  This reminds me 
of the old Dutch proverb which states:  "Many toil for a loaf, while a 
slice is sufficient." Anyway here are today's quotes for your 
consideration, pondering and reflection.

Only as we follow Christ can we lead others in the right direction.

God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.  Oswald Chambers 
(quote compiler's comment:  I can vividly remember that, in my working 
years, if I didn't pray for God's guidance on my activities at the 
beginning of the day, inevitably something would happen to make a 
particular portion of the day very unpleasant.  However if I prayed 
when I first woke up, things would go well.  Did that ever happen to you)?

And that will do it for today.  Until tomorrow when, Lord willing more 
of the same will be posted, I am your obedient servant of the One who 
lived an earthly existence, died to pay for your sins and mine, and now 
lives forever to bring us His salvation and peace, Oil of Gladness.
