"Many heroes lived before ... but all are unknown and unwept, extinguished in everlasting night because they have no spirited chronicler" - Horace
- We need "spirited chroniclers" to record the feats of heroes in these troubling times so that future generations can know the heroes that paved the way... if I cannot be heroic, may I -at least - become a spirited chronicler!
"God, Who is a worker, ordained work so that humans could worship Him through their work" - Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert in "When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor and Yourself"
- God is a "worker". I love that!!! We resemble Him when we work and we can worship Him through our work! Think about that as you head off to the daily grind tomorrow.
"For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16 NKJV
- Did you get that: by Him, through Him and for Him . . . . all things were created. He is the originator of all things good - every good idea anyone ever had was by Him; there is nothing that I can accomplish that isn't accomplished through Him (Jesus said -"without Me, you can do nothing"); the value of any accomplishment rests in whether or not it was attempted for Him.
