Sunday, March 2, 1997 Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672 
Devotional poetry... has to do with devotedness, with trust merged into faith, with love’s steadfastness. It finds men’s worthwhileness deep laid in relationship to God’s worthwhileness, and this devotion is expressed in communication. It finds this world precious insofar as it... symbolizes God’s love and therefore it runs counter to our national sin of distrust in God. (And yet, how can we trust Him without knowing and living unto Him and loving Him?)
... Samuel Bradley
 (see also Ps. 66:8-9; more at Devotion, Faith, Love, Nation, Sin, Social, Trust)
