Some people are naturally easy-going and lack of ambition. Others are cowardly or spirit mean. Many people are marked by moral weakness and decrepitude, which makes it easier to surrender than compete in the intellectual or physical arenas. Gentleness must also include the awareness of a substantial reserve of force. God’s gentleness is combined with His omnipotence. The infinite forces at work are evident in the movements of creation.

Today’s Devotional Is THE SOLAR LOOK WRITING OF Emerson: Margaret Fuller writes in her diary that Emerson was present this morning with a sunbeam on his face. Daniel Rowlands, a famous Welsh preacher, is mentioned as having a “solar look” when he preached. He did not think that his face shined, just like Moses. This is what our Lord meant when He told His disciples to anoint their faces and wash them, so that they would not be seen fasting to other men. It is not right for us to look drab and dark as if our religion … Read Bible Verses
