Thought for the Day 1/16/2012

No steam or gas ever drives

               anything until it is confined.

No Niagara is ever turned into light
            and power until it is tunneled.
No life ever grows until it is
           focused, dedicated and disciplined.
Harry Emerson Fosdick

God disciplines us for our good,

         so that we may share His holiness.

All discipline for the moment seems
               not to be joyful, but sorrowful;
yet to those who have been trained by it,
afterwards it yields the peaceful
       fruit of righteousness.
Hebrews 12:10-12
