Verse of the day: The ugly, thin cows ate the seven beautiful and large cows (Genesis 41. 4).
Pharaoh’s dream has often been the experience of my life; my days of indolence destroyed all that I had accomplished in days of jealous work; the cold seasons froze all the glorious splendor of my periods of fervor and enthusiasm; the conformations with the world have caused a setback in the advancement of my spiritual life. I must be careful of the thinness in prayer, in worship, in experiences with the Lord and in duties, because they will eat the fat of my comfort and peace.
- If I neglect prayer for a short time.
- I lose all the spirituality I have acquired; If I do not receive new supplies from heaven.
- The old wheat of my barn will soon be consumed by the hunger that afflicts my soul.
- Indifference.
- Worldlyness and complacency leave my heart completely desolate and cause my soul to languish.
- All my old fertility and my growth in grace will be of no benefit to me.
- Oh.
- How I wish I hadn’t lived those lean.
- Horrible days!If every day I were to move towards the goal of my desires.
- I would soon reach it.
- But rebellion takes me away from the price of the sublime vocation.
- Stealing the progress I have so carefully made.
- Life to be like fat cows is to feed myself with good pastures and spend time with the Lord.
- At his service.
- In his company.
- In his fear.
- In his way.
Why isn’t every new year richer than the last, in love, utility and joy?I’m closer to the heavenly mountains. I have experienced the Lord more; should be more like him: Lord, take away the thinness of the soul. Don’t let me shout, “Flétri, wither, oh!” (Isaiah 24:16), but so that I may be well fed in your house, so to rent your name.
