Today just a quote and a question. (And a short bio of the man who gave us the quote.)
A quote from Dwight L. Moody* - "A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at one time to sustain life for a week. We must draw upon God's boundless store of grace from day to day as we need it."
The Question: What do you do to get your daily dose of God's grace?
*(Dwight Lyman Moody was born in Massachusetts in 1837 and became a Christian in 1855. He was a conscientious objector during the Civil War, but served as a chaplain to soldiers, making nine trips to the front lines in his work with the YMCA. In 1864, he founded a church in Chicago. In 1871, the Chicago Fire destroyed his church and he was left with nothing but his "Bible and reputation." He became a traveling evangelist [this photo was taken on his trip to England in 1872]. He founded the Moody Bible Institute, a Bible College, in 1886, which continues to have great influence in the Evangelical movement to this day.)

I have Jewish prayers and meditation I do most days. I think that helps me stay connected--and available.
BTW--his story is almost as intriguing as the quotation!

Thank you! I'm going to pass this on to our Sunday school.
(Of course I still go to Sunday school. I'm only 72 years old; I have a lot to learn.)

Just for the record. Moody was a Dispensationalist, and his Bible Institue a central institution of Dispensationalism. Dispensationalism is now eschewed by both mainstream Protestant churches(particularly Presbyterian churches) as well as a growing number of Evangelical institutions, such as Albert Mohler’s Boice College and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. See the book: “The Rise and Fall of Dispensationalism”
