I am having difficulty with my eyes this morning, by product of one of my medications which I hope I will be off soon, so won’t be doing much writing this morning.

I came across this quote from Catherine Booth and felt the need to be sure and share it this morning.

"Many do not recognize the fact as they ought, that Satan has got men fast asleep in sin and that it is his great device to keep them so. He does not care what we do if he can do that. We may sing songs about the sweet by and by, preach sermons and say prayers until doomsday, and he will never concern himself about us, if we don't wake anybody up. But if we awake the sleeping sinner he will gnash on us with his teeth. This is our work - to wake people up." – Catherine Booth

Psalm 40:8-10 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

⁹ I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

¹⁰ I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

And the alarm clock is ringing.  I like Catherine Booth, a fiery woman and a powerful servant of God!

Yes, I know that she and her husband were the founders of the Salvation Army – but, she was a human being, as we are; she stood on the Word and shared her faith with everyone and was not afraid of those gnashing teeth AND she is an example for all of us; her words are more truthful today than ever before.

May we be able to say to God that satan worked us over and we felt the gnashing of his teeth because I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

Later, Art :-)
