He wakens me morning by morning,
wakens my ear to listen.
—Isaiah 50:4
“Call me anytime,” Carl said. “I have my cell phone on 24/7/365.”

Polished pianist Ignacy Paderewski said, “If I miss one day of practice, I notice it. If I miss two days, the critics notice it. If I miss three days, the audience notices it.”
Professional basketball player, Grant Hill, was known for his arduous practice regimen. He said, “When I take a day off, I feel like I’m losing my edge.”

The best exercise for spiritual fitness
is a daily walk with God.
