This Day's Thought

There is in man a higher than love of happiness; he can do without happiness, and instead thereof find blessedness!

Thomas Carlyle

This Day's Verse

Thine own friend, and thy father’s friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother’s house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neighbour that is near than a brother far off.

Proverbs 27:10
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

The Christian who is truly spiritual revels as much in his ignorance of God as in his knowledge of him.

John Blanchard

This Day's Thought

The way we respond to criticism pretty much depends on the way we respond to praise. If praise humbles us, then criticism will build us up. But if praise inflates us, then criticism will crush us; and both responses lead to defeat.

Warren W. Wiersbe

This Day's Verse

“But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus,”

Acts 15:11
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

Now we have learned that it is the secular school student who is overprotected. He is protected from the basic facts of right and wrong. He then confronts the slings and arrows of the real world-naked.

This Day's Thought

Holiness is a state of soul in which all the powers of the body and mind are consciously given up to God.

Phoebe Palmer

This Day's Verse

May the LORD bless his people with peace!

Psalm 29:11
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

One day, people noticed Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, the Alter of Slabodka, enjoying a private banquet. What was the occasion? He had been told that a man in a far-off land–whom he did not know—had won a great prize. So the Alter was full of joy for him. And so he made himself a party.

This Day's Thought

What else are the laws of God written in our hearts but the very presence of the Holy Ghost?

Augustine

This Day's Verse

Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Philippians 4:6
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Some persons’ lives are too much like my friend’s house. When he recently painted it himself, he found that others who had painted it before had neglected all the points which were out of sight of the ground. Many people have used their religion only to “touch up the high points” of their lives. Business, race relations, prejudices have gone sadly untouched by the brush.

This Day's Thought

Read the Bible, not as a newspaper, but as a home letter. If a cluster of heavenly fruit hangs within reach, gather it. If a promise lies upon the page as a blank check, cash it. If a prayer is recorded, appropriate it, and launch it as a feathered arrow from the bow of your desire. If an example of holiness gleams before you, ask God to do as much for you. If the truth is revealed in all its intrinsic splendor, entreat that its brilliance may ever irradiate the hemisphere of your life.

F. B. Meyer

This Day's Verse

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

Proverbs 10:28
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

As we begin to see the package God is putting together in our lives and discover his purposes for bringing us to our world, it will provide us with the framework we need to make wise choices. In addition, we will find that a sense of purpose gives hope in the midst of tragedy and difficulty, gives meaning to the mundane aspects of our lives, and helps us to make our lives count for God.

This Day's Thought

As we practice the work of forgiveness we discover more and more that forgiveness and healing are one.

Agnes Sanford

This Day's Verse

“When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.”

Deuteronomy 8:10
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

Grant me, O Lord, the royalty of inward happiness and the serenity which comes from living close to Thee. Daily renew in me the sense of joy, fill every corner of my heart with light and life that I may be a diffuser of life and meet all ills and troubles with gallant high-hearted happiness, giving Thee thanks always for all things. Amen.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

This Day's Thought

The soul which loves God for His own sake gladly escapes from the business of the world to think of Him, recollects Him in little chinks and intervals of time, takes occasion of all things to think of Him, and is glad of the hours of prayer to be with Him.

Edward B. Pusey

This Day's Verse

Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

2 Timothy 2:22
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

God never built a Christian strong enough to carry today’s duties and tomorrow’s anxieties piled on top of them.

The Spirit’s control will replace sin’s control. His power is greater than the power of all your sin.

Psalm 107:8-9
The New King James Version

This Day's Thought

Lift up your heart to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; he is nearer to us than we are aware of.

Brother Lawrence

This Day's Verse

The way of the LORD is a refuge for the righteous,

Proverbs 10:29

Go to church to get away from yourself.

This Day's Thought

What happens when God grants the gift of genuine Christian fellowship? Deep, joyful sharing replaces the polite prattle typically exchanged by Christians on Sunday morning. Sisters and brothers begin to discuss the things that really matter to them. They disclose their inner fears, their areas of peculiar temptation, their deepest joys.

Ronald J. Sider

This Day's Verse

Glory and honor are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.

1 Chronicles 16:27
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

It is no advantage to be near the light if the eyes are closed.

Augustine
