Genesis 1:27 King James Version (KJV)

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

June 1, 1682 Second Letter of Brother Lawrence

“God’s treasure is like an infinite ocean, yet a little wave of feeling, passing with the moment, contents us.  Blind as we are, we hinder God, and stop the current of His graces.  But when He finds a soul permeated with a living faith, He pours into it His graces and favors plenteously; into  the soul they flow like a torrent, which after being forcibly stopped against the ordinary course, when it has found a passage, spreads with impetuosity its pent-up flood  I say again let us enter into ourselves.  Time presses:  there is not room for delay, our souls are at stake ― for in the spiritual life not to advance is to go back.  Those who have the gale of the Holy spirit go forward, even in sleep”

― From The Practice Of The Presence of God by Brother Lawrence

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“I have literally lived with God as one lives with a Father.  Amen.  I rise up in the morning and give thanks to God.  Then I again work.  At a set time in the evening I break off and again give thanks to God… Then I sleep.  Thus do I live”

― From the Writings of Soren Kierkegaard

Psalm 55:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“Most gracious Father, may I have the courage always to stand for right.  At times when it is easier to escape into the crowd and find my security amid the group, may I ask, “Is this Thy will and purpose for me?”  May I know that the voice of the people is not necessarily the voice of God.  As I live closely to Thee in spiritual companionship, may I be able to discern the one from the other.  It is only as I see my self as personally doing Thy will, that I know a spiritual security which holds me steadfast in every storm and strain  Keep me ever faithful, through Christ our Lord.  Amen”

Psalm 119:132 King James Version (KJV)

132 Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy name.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“Great God of infinite love, as I sit under Thy gaze, may Thy love focus itself on my spirit.  May I be not just merely good, but heroically devout, with a love that is patient and kind, not jealous or boastful, not arrogant or rude, not irritable or resentful; a love which bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  In Christ’s name.  Amen.

Psalm 119:165 King James Version (KJV)

165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“I think it is clear that I am talking about a revolutionary way of living.  Religion isn’t something to be added to other duties and thus make our lives yet more complex.  The life with God is the center of life, and all else is remodeled and integrated by it…”

― From A Testament of Devotion by Thomas R. Kelly

Luke 19:10 King James Version (KJV)

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience

It is a great matter when in extreme need, to take hold on prayer.  I know, whenever I have earnestly prayed, I have been amply heard, and have obtained more than I prayed for; God, indeed, sometimes delayed, but at last he came.”

― From Table-Talk by Martin Luther

Colossians 3:12 King James Version (KJV)

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

“O how great a thing, how marvelous, a godly Christian’s prayer is! how powerful with God; that a poor human creature should speak with God’s high Majesty in heaven, and not be affrighted, but , on the contrary, know that God smiles upon him for Christ’s sake, his dearly beloved Son.”

Ecclesiastes 2:26 King James Version (KJV)

26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

Wisdom From Fellow Pilgrims

Habakkuk 2:4 King James Version (KJV)

4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

Habakkuk 2:4 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

4 Look at the proud; his soul is not straight or right within him, but the [rigidly] just and the [uncompromisingly] righteous man shall [a]live by his faith and in his faithfulness.
Footnotes:

Habakkuk 2:4 There is a curious passage in the Talmud [the body of Jewish civil and religious law] which says that Moses gave six hundred injunctions to the Israelites. As these commands might prove too numerous to commit to memory, David brought them down to eleven in Psalm 15. Isaiah reduced these eleven to six in [his] chapter 33:15. Micah (6:8) further reduced them to three; and Isaiah (56:1) once more brought them down to two. These two Amos (5:4) reduced to one. However, lest it might be supposed from this that God could be found only in the fulfillment of the law, Habakkuk (2:4 KJV) said, “The just shall live by his faith” (William H. Saulez, The Romance of the Hebrew Language).
