Keep that which is good, in it; that which is evil, out: thoughts, feelings, purposes, imaginations, desires. Especially, keep God's word in it. Quench not the Spirit. Cherish a memory for what is good. Be as a gardener; be as a banker.
For the mind is God's wonderful gift.
As our thoughts, so our words and acts.
As our thoughts, so our future life.
Be as the pilot.
Thermopylae.
Our peace easily destroyed by unwatchfulness.
God looks at the heart.
Has given us suitable objects to think about, - to love.
A daily devotional written by a Baptist Missionary to India, Reverend George Bowen (1816-1888) over 150 years ago.
George H. Bowen (30 April 1816 at Middlebury, Vermont – 5 February 1888 at Bombay, India) was an American missionary, newspaper man, linguist, and translator in India. He was known as "The White Saint of India" for his resemblance in manner and dress to the Hindu holy men.
