Day 79

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY

All human beings are limbs of each other,
having been created of one essence.

When time affects a limb with pain,
The other limbs cannot at rest remain.

If thou feel not other's misery,
A human being is no name for thee.

great Iranian poet - Sa'adi - c. 1210-1290


INTERFAITH PRAYER OF THE DAY

Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.

We ask You to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love.

attributed - Sir Francis Drake -1577

LESSON 79
Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.

EDGAR CAYCE DAILY READING
Think on This...

Follow in that way that leads to the perfect understanding in Him, the giver of all good and perfect gifts, living as the ensample of manifested conditions exemplified in the body before a material world. Be not faint hearted, nor over-anxious, in the development, for the will of Him, the giver, must be made the will of the man.
