"The effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever." ~Isaiah 32:17 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "The effect of righteousness will be peace, and the result of righteousness, quietness and trust forever." Only when the soul attains this calm, can there be true spiritual work done, and mind and soul and body be strong to conquer and bear all things. Peace is the result of righteousness. There is no peace in wrong doing, but if we live the way God wants us to live, quietness and assurance can follow. Assurance is that calmness born of a deep certainty of God's strength available to us and in God's power to love and guard us from all harm and wrong doing. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may attain a state of true calmness. I pray that I may live in quietness and peace. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
