The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

January 17

No sickness can come near to blast my health;

My life depends not upon any meat;

My bread comes not from any human tilth;

No wings will grow upon my changeless wealth;

Wrong cannot touch it, violence or deceit;

Thou art my life, my health, my bank, my barn—

And from all other gods thou plain dost warn.
