Vigilance and Gladness
Isaiah 7:4
And say to him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands…


The bird on the branch is intensely sensitive and tremulous; it looks around, above, beneath; all the world might be a fowler, a mare, a eat, and yet at the same time it goes on pouring out its happy soul in music. Let us be like it in watchfulness and gladness.

(W. L. Watkinson.)
