Verse of the day

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up; my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.
Psalm 131:1

Voice of the day

It is a curious thing … but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it.  Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.

Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2007)

Prayer of the day

Lord, remind us when our reach exceeds our grasp that the first shall be last. May we follow the examples you’ve set for how we ought to relate to power.
