This Day's Thought

There is no portion of our time that is our time, and the rest God’s; there is no portion of money that is our money, and the rest God’s money. It is all His; He made it all, gives it all, and He has simply trusted it to us for His service. A servant has two purses, the master’s and his own, but we have only one.

Adolphe Monod

This Day's Verse

But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without uncertainty or insincerity.

James 3:17
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

I’ve been able to recognize the space between someone who is offering the best he can and someone who is in need is Holy ground.

The body, that is but dust; the soul, it is a bud of eternity.

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:13-14
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Love is the one business in which it pays to be an absolute spendthrift: give it away; throw it away; splash it over; empty your pockets; shake the basket; and tomorrow you’ll have more than ever.

Sorrow is only one of the lower notes in the oratorio of our blessedness.

Adoniram J. Gordon

This Day's Verse

“However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?’”

This Day's Thought

We are persons in transition. There is more of life before us, and we are God’s agents to each other in encouragement and development. Even in aging we need not cease to grow in different areas of life.

Myron Augsburger

This Day's Verse

Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 117
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

I am happy in having learned to distinguish between ownership and possession. Books, pictures, and all the beauty of the world belong to those who love and understand them—not usually to those who possess them. All of those things that I am entitled to have I have—I own by divine right. So I care not about who possesses them.

This Day's Thought

Unless we learn the meaning of mercy by exercising it towards others, we will never have any real knowledge of what it means to love Christ.

Job 12:13

This Day's Thought

That is not the best sermon which makes the hearers go away talking to one another, and praising the speaker, but which makes them go away thoughtful and serious, and hastening to be alone.

Gilbert Burnet

This Day's Verse

Keep your eyes open for spiritual danger; stand true to the Lord; act like men; be strong; and whatever you do, do it with kindness and love.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

This Day's Thought

A man can be as truly a saint in a factory as in a monastery, and there is as much need of him in the one as in the other.

Robert J. McCracken

This Day's Verse

Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the LORD all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

This Day's Thought

Do not shelter the mirror which reflects your soul’s lack of beauty; rather welcome the truth, and believe that next to the knowledge of God nothing is so precious as the knowledge of self.

Jean Nicolas Grou

“If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.  By this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.”

John 15:7-8
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

If your riches are yours, why don’t you take them with you to t’other world?

This Day's Thought

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlights of affliction.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

This Day's Verse

“Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Matthew 12:33-37
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

You are not a reservoir with a limited amount of resources; you are a channel attached to unlimited divine resources.
