A Charles Dickens Devotional QUOTES

1 " When you arise in the morning, do you throw open the window and look out at the world? Do you observe the same old things, or do you notice subtle changes, like buds opening on flowers, the scent of lilacs on the breeze, or the new song of a distant bird? This is the day the Lord has made! Rejoice in His bountiful, beautiful gift.

That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no other.
~Isaiah 45:6 "

2 " Samuel Pickwick, a retired businessman, met the new day with enthusiasm. He saw it with the potential of discovery and maybe even adventure. If Pickwick and his friends from the Pickwick Club loved anything at all, it was searching for adventure. Every morning held the prospect of something new, something exciting.

How should we meet each new day? Psalm 118:24 tells us, "This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." We should greet each day expecting God's kindness: "Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning." (Lamentations 3:22-23). "

3 " We should pray in the morning: "But to you I have cried out, O Lord, and in the morning my prayer comes before You." (Psalm 88:13). And we should view morning as a pleasant, sweet time: "Truly the light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun."
(Ecclesiastes 11:7). "
