This Day's Thought

Humility is the only response we should have towards a God who has given everything for our sake.

John Calvin

This Day's Verse

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

James 4:17
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

J. Hudson Taylor, visiting D. L. Moody in Chicago, was invited to preach at Moody’s church.  At end of service Moody announced they were going to take an offering and Hudson Taylor, who was the guest speaker, came onstage and said. “No, we have a non-solicitation policy.”  Moody thought he was crazy.  Lo and behold the next day a man brings Taylor a check for $5000 and tells him, “If I gave yesterday at church I would have only given you $5.”  We live in a world where we are probably overly dependent on our human efforts to do God’s work, whereas we are called to a simple faith.

James Hudson Taylor IV

This Day's Thought

If your faith in God is stronger for every humble task in which you need and get His aid, then that humble task is necessary to the fullness of your faith in God.  It will make the music of your life more firm and solid.

For you shall not go out with haste, Nor go by flight; For the Lord will go before you, And the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

This Day's Thought

If you neglect your love to your neighbor, in vain you profess your love to God; for by your love to God, the love to your neighbor is begotten, and by the love to your neighbor, your love to God is nourished.

Francis Quarles

This Day's Verse

You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him; because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.

Deuteronomy 15:10
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

One day a lady criticized D. L. Moody for his methods of evangelism in attempting to win people to the Lord.  Moody’s reply was “I agree with you.  I don’t like the way I do it either.  Tell me, how do you do it?”  The lady replied, “I don’t do it.”  Moody retorted, “Then I like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it.”

D. L. Moody

This Day's Thought

It is not difficult to see one vital significance of Jesus Christ: He has given us the most glorious interpretation of life’s meaning that the sons of men have ever had.  The fatherhood of God, the friendship of the Spirit, the sovereignty of righteousness, the law of love, and glory of service, the coming of the kingdom, the eternal hope—there never was an interpretation of life to compare with that.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

This Day's Verse

How do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?  For the length of your lives is as uncertain as the morning fog—now you see it; soon it is gone.

James 4:14
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

My advice to you is, take a house next door to the Physician, for it will be very singular if you should prove to be the very first He ever turned away unhealed.

Samuel Rutherford

Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.

This Day's Thought

God only is holy.  He alone knows how to lead His children in the paths of holiness.  He knows every aspect of your soul, every thought of your heart, every secret of your character, its difficulties and hindrances.  He knows how to mould you to His will, and lead you onwards to perfect sanctification.  He knows exactly how each event, each trial, each temptation, will tell upon you, and he disposes all things accordingly.  The consequences of this belief, if fully grasped, will influence your whole life.  You will seek to give yourself up to God more and more unreservedly, asking nothing, refusing nothing, wishing nothing, but what He wills.  Instead of seeking to bring things about for yourself, you will take all He sends joyfully, and believe the “one step” set before you to be enough for you.  You will be satisfied that even though there are clouds around, and your way seems dark, He is directing all, and that what seems a hindrance will prove a blessing, since He wills it.

Jean Nicolas Grou

This Day's Verse

Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD,

Exodus 32:29
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

I am greater than the stars for I know that they are up there and they do not know that I am down here.

“Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”

I heard someone once say that grief is love that is homeless.

This Day's Thought

Just as transparent substances, when subjected to light, themselves glitter and give off light, so does the soul, illuminated by the Holy Spirit, give light to others and itself become spiritual.

Basil of Caesarea

This Day's Verse

When I sit in darkness, The LORD will be a light to me.

Micah 7:8
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

The most fruitful and the most joy-filled Christians are the most pruned Christians.
