This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

His grace is great enough to meet the great things—
The crashing waves that overwhelm the soul,
The roaring winds that leave us stunned and breathless,
The sudden storms beyond our life’s control.

His grace is great enough to meet the small things—
The little pin-prick troubles that annoy,
The insect worries, buzzing and persistent,
The squeaking wheels that grate upon our joy.

Annie Johnson Flint

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

James 1:13
The English Standard Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

There is no more significant involvement in another’s life than prevailing, consistent prayer. It is more helpful than a gift of money, more encouraging than a strong sermon, more effective than a compliment, more reassuring than a physical embrace.

Charles R. Swindoll

You are near, O Lord, And all Your commandments are truth.

Psalm 119:151

I’m working on a puzzle, pure and simple.
It is I.”

Here’s the answer to your puzzle, pure and simple.
It is I.”

Christ descended into hell to liberate its captives. In one instant he destroyed all record of our ancient debt incurred under the law in order to lead us to heaven where there is no death but only eternal life and righteousness.

For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

The first coming of Christ the Lord, God’s son and our God, was in obscurity; the second will be in the sight of the whole world. When he came in obscurity no one recognized him but his own servants; when he comes openly he will be known by both good people and bad. When he came in obscurity, it was to be judged; when he comes openly it will be to judge.

Augustine

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
