Wisdom from C.S. Lewis
From the Narnia series, the great Christian Apologist writes...
"Sleeping on a dragon's hoard with greedy, dragonish thoughts in his heart, he had become a dragon himself."

God’s Righteousness Through Faith
From New King James Version
Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[h] who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Today's Devotional from "Today in the Word"
TODAY ALONG THE WAY
In this life, many people, circumstances, and influences threaten to destroy our relationship with God. Whether you or someone you love is being attacked, experiencing such times of despair and feeling separated from God, cling to the confident assurance of Romans 8:31—39: "We are more than conquerors through him who loved us . . . neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers . . . will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
MY NOTES: I thank God that he sends scriptures to encourage us in every situation. He knows exactly where we are and who we will see.
