Using blog2print.com, I decided to compile my blogs into books this past year. As I was thumbing through one , I came upon this quote that spoke to me more than ever, with all we are going through in our world-turned-upside-down. So here it is again:
"...the fixed heart is the secret of courage. Courage is an affair of the heart; courage is the consciousness of the heart that is fixed...What, then, shall we do in the day of frightfulness? We shall do our duty; the thing we have to do tomorrow morning. We will do that, and do it well; and do it cheerfully...What this nation needs, now just as much, and perhaps more than anything else, is the multiplication of strong, quiet souls who are not afraid of evil tidings, even though the zeppelins may be coming, and will not add to the panic that demoralizes, but will do their work."
an excerpt of a sermon by G. Campbell Morgan, March 3, 1916 called The Fixed Heart In the Day of Frightfulness
May we each do our duty, the next thing, with a fixed heart.
"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings; his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord." Psalm 112:7
