"He that winneth souls is wise." (Proverbs 11:30)
This is true in two ways. You're wise if you win souls and to win souls you must be wise. As we seek to witness and lead others to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus, we need God's wisdom for what to say and when to say it. If we cannot talk, we need to walk in wisdom. Why not ask the Lord for soul-winning wisdom? This morning pray, "Lord make me winsome that I might win some today." (Rex Trodon)

"I will run the way of Thy commandments, when Thou shalt
enlarge my heart." (Psalm 119:32)
- Is fear of man before me, or am I satisfied with the private approval of Christ?
- There is much in the world to make us afraid. There is much more in our faith to make us unafraid.
- If your life be the most woebegone, the most tempted, the fullest of failure of any person in His Church - you are the one that will probably get more help from God than any one.
- To know the will of God is the greatest knowledge; to find the will of God is the greatest discovery; to do the will of God is the greatest achievement. (Things to Think About)

"The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalm 23:1)
Give me a million dollars, and one reverse of fortune may scatter it all away; but let me have a spiritual hold of this divine assurance, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," and then I am all right, I am set up for life. I cannot break with such stock as this in hand. I never can be a bankrupt, for I hold this security. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." Do not give me ready money now; give me a checkbook, and let me draw what I like. This is what God does with the believer. He does not immediately transfer His inheritance to him, but lets him draw what he needs out of the riches of His fullness in Christ Jesus. (Selected)
