Daily Devotion 13 August 2019 Short pithy gems from John Newton #2 and #3

August 12, 2019 By Tom Stearns Leave a Comment

Good morning,

This week we will look at Grace Gem devotionals.

Short pithy gems from John Newton #2

The Lord Jesus, and the world that crucified Him–are competitors for our hearts.
   ~  ~  ~  ~ 
The storms of our life are guided by the hands which were nailed to the cross!
  ~  ~  ~  ~ 
We have work to do in the world, more to do in the Church and in our homes–but most of all, in our own hearts.
   ~  ~  ~  ~ 
Wonderful are the effects when a crucified, glorious Savior is presented to the eye of faith. 
This sight destroys the love of sin!
   ~  ~  ~  ~ 

Short pithy gems from John Newton #3

They are the happiest Christians, who have the lowest thoughts of themselves, and in whose eyes Jesus is most glorious and precious!
    ~  ~  ~  ~ 
My heart is vile, and even my prayers are sin. My soul is very sick—but my Physician is infallible!
    ~  ~  ~  ~ 
How unspeakably wonderful it is, to know that all our concerns are held in hands that bled for us! 
    ~  ~  ~  ~ 
Our sea may sometimes be stormy—but we have an infallible Pilot, and shall infallibly gain our port.
    ~  ~  ~  ~ 
Our work is great—our time is short—and the consequences of our labors are infinite!
    ~  ~  ~  ~ 
Lord, save us from our golden calves!
    ~  ~  ~  ~ 
Abominations, like nests of vipers, lie quietly in us—until the rod of afflictionarouses them. Then they hiss and show their venom!
