JUST THOUGHTS

What is man that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visited him? Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with, glory and honour. j

God in His wisdom made the earthy and all that is in it and then made man and woman. His great wisdom and mighty power and authority are fully demonstrated in that creative act ? particularly so in man f whom He made in His own image and likeness and then breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life so that man became a living soul, with a free, will. ,

Man’s body is a wonderful thing in itself.

Man’s mind, is a more wonderful thing for it can and does control his body. Man’s soul or spirit is more wonderful still, for it can and does corn* trol his mind.

We may thus reach; the conclusion that we are wise if we cultivate our souls. The Bible teaches that our souls are of great value in the Kingdom of God and also contains advice and instruction that we sorely need in these days; if we doubt this fact it can only be } that we are not well- informed f have not read the Bible at all ? or have read it either carelessly or critically. Let us read it again, apply the knowledge. to our lives, and strive tw bring about amongst us, a better way of life and a better upder-t standing of each other In our homes and in the community in which we dwell to the Glory of God and our own everlasting betterment.
