Luke 2:21 “…circumcision is the symbol of the faithful when they are established in grace, as they cut away and mortify the tumultuous rising of carnal pleasures and passions by the sharp surgery of faith and by ascetic labors. They do this not by cutting the body but by purifying the heart. They do this by being circumcised in the spirit and not in the letter.” – St. Cyril of Alexandria #feastofcircumcision #circumciseyourheart #purifyyourheart #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox

2 Corinthians 10:17 . By saying this Paul intimates that even his assurance and pride are to be given to the Lord, because it is by his favor that he has them. Someone who has confidence in the power of the gospel has confidence in the God who enables it. Thus God is glorified by all godly work. A person who has not received power from God cannot glory in the Lord, because he is seeking his own glory. – Ambrosiaster . #GloryInTheLord #Glory #PrideInTheLord #Pride #Coptic #DailyReadings #CopticOrthodox #Orthodox #Corinthians

Contemplations
You Yourself care for my footsteps and my ways day and night, watching all my paths, never forsaking me. I can say that You may probably forget heaven and earth, with all that are in and on them, concentrating Your care on me! You watch on me, as though you forgot the whole creation! You grant me your gifts, as though I am alone the object of your love! There is nothing hidden from you… my thoughts, my intentions, my actions, and my pleasures… nothing escapes your eternal care! St. Augustine . . #havefaith #godscare #guidingus #dailyreadings #holybible #orthodoxy #coptic

Psalms 5:11 . Even if humans feel lots of fear, remember God will take care of you.
