Week Fourteen-Day Four: End of Day

Let’s end today by contemplating what others have said about the trinity.

“Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God.” John Wesley

“If there be one God subsisting in three persons, then let us give equal reverence to all the persons in the Trinity. There is not more or less in the Trinity; the Father is not more God than the Son and Holy Ghost. There is an order in the Godhead, but no degrees; one person has not a majority or super eminence above another, therefore we must give equal worship to all the persons.”

Thomas Watson

“It is rashness to search, godliness to believe, safeness to preach, and eternal blessedness to know the Trinity.” Thomas Adams

“All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that ‘God is love.’ But they seem not to notice that the words 'God is love' have no real meaning unless God contains at least two persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love.” C. S. Lewis

“Not to be blasphemous, but I wonder if even the Holy Trinity understands the American tax code.” (Making sure you’re awake.) Maurice Carroll

“Prayer means lovingly contemplating the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, allowing our hearts to be enkindled to praise and adore the love and omnipotence of the most blessed Trinity.” Basilea Schlink

“God created us so that the joy He has in Himself might be ours. God doesn't simply think about Himself or talk to Himself. He enjoys Himself! He celebrates with infinite and eternal intensity the beauty of who He is as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And we've been created to join the party!” Sam Storms

1. End your day by praying this: “Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace.”
2. Lights out!
