"I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians 2:2-3 NLT

"We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."- Daniel 6:5
What an example Daniel was! The only fault his fellowman could find in him was the way in which he served God How wonderful it would be if our friends and neighbors could say this about us, that our greatest fault would be that we tried to please God at all times. 2 Peter 2:20

My son, attend to My words; incline thine ear unto My sayings. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. (Proverbs 4:20, 22)
FEW recognize the influence of the mind over the body. God has so organized our beings that pure, noble, holy thoughts in general have not only an elevating and ennobling effect upon the mental and moral constitution, but an invigorating influence upon the physical system. And, on the contrary, every unclean, ignoble, unchaste, unholy thought (as well as act) has a direct effect not only toward debasement of mind and morals, but toward the germination of seeds of disease already in the constitution of the fallen race.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. Psalm 119:54
IT IS written, "He giveth songs in the night," and "He hath put a new song into my mouth." It causes us no surprise to know that the saints will "be joyful in glory," and sing aloud with the high praises of God in their mouths when it shall be given to them to execute the judgments written, but it may strike some as peculiar that the present conditions of imperfection and frailty, in which we groan and are burdened, should be a condition in which songs and thanksgiving and joy should prevail with us. Nevertheless, this is the divine will, as it is the divine statement respecting all who are truly overcomers: they are all to be joyful in the house of their pilgrimage. Respecting this joy our Lord declares, "Your joy no man taketh from you.". So then, while there is a measure of groaning because of some burdens on the part of those who have attained to the new life, there are also blessed joys which the world cannot give, neither take away; and these are the source and cause of the unceasing joy and "songs in the night" before the glorious dawn of the new millennial day. These songs are inspired by the joys granted us in the house of our pilgrimage--while we are actually absent from our "home."
