Quote of the Day [Wednesday 17 July, 2024]

[Utpal Bora]

“The great God stands much on priority to have the first and the best:
the first ripe fruits, the first that opens the womb. Oh then offer
the Isaac of your youth, the spring and flower of your age to God, and
stay not until the evil day. Begin first with Him from whom you had
your beginning. Go about the grand affair and work of your dear and
never-dying soul before you do engulf yourself in the cares of this
world. Resolve to present the first ripe fruits to that good and
gracious God, who desires the first ripe fruits. In the bright morning
of your life, match yourself to the King of Glory and become His bride
before you are deflowered and defiled by sin and the world. If the
celestial seeds of grace are sown in the morning, the pleasant and
sweet flowers springing out of those seeds will invite the Lord Jesus
to come and walk in His garden (Song 5:1). If you would be the temple
of the Holy Spirit, let Him that made the house be the first and chief
inhabitant. And suffer not your heart to be a habitation for dragons
and devils, which will be your undoing to all eternity.” ― John Fox,
