Today’s Scripture Reading

Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent. Interlude

Psalm 4:4


And this righteousness will bring peace. Yes, it will bring quietness and confidence forever.

Isaiah 32:17


My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20


Today’s Meditation

Your love comes to me
in the silence,
ordinary.
Like a child’s treasure
I turn it over
in the nook of my hand,
warming its smooth
heaviness.

A thought of You,
stony,
clearly defined,

drops as though
down a deep
well,

is lost
momentarily,

then turns up
a certainty in the heart.
