The Moment You Wake Up – CS Lewis
The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job of each morning consists in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.
– CS Lewis –
A Portion Promised – Thomas Watson
The Godly have a portion promised them upon their marriage to Christ, but the portion is not paid till the day of their death. The saints are promoted at death to communion with God; they have what they so long hoped for, and prayed for.

A Fresh Manifestation of His Glory – T. Austin-Sparks
There is no situation so hopeless as to make it impossible for the glory of God to break in; no situation that can shut God out and be too impossible for a fresh manifestation of His glory.

Becoming Like the Lord – George Müller
It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honoured in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.

The Childlike Privilege – Andrew Murray
Scripture says, “Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God” (Romans 8:14). The childlike privilege of asking for anything is inseparable from the childlike life under the leading of the Spirit. The one who yields himself to be led by the Spirit in his everyday life will be led by Him also in his prayers. He will find that father-like giving is the divine response to childlike living.

How to Live in Light of Jesus – Adrian Rogers
