This Day's Thought

We human beings instinctively regard the seen world as the “real” world and the unseen world as the “unreal” world, but the Bible calls for almost the opposite. Through faith, the unseen world increasingly takes shape as the real world and sets the course for how we live in the seen world.

Philip Yancey

This Day's Verse

But it is the spirit in a man, the breath of the Almighty, that gives him understanding.

Job 32:8
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

Every house a temple, every heart an altar, every human being a priest.

This Day's Thought

The greatness of God rouses fear within us, but his goodness encourages us not to be afraid of him. To fear and not be afraid—that is the paradox of faith.

A. W. Tozer

This Day's Verse

Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days.

Job 12:12
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The man who claims to be a self-made man has relieved God of an embarrassing responsibility. He usually is a horrible example of unskilled labor.

This Day's Thought

I only have one life and one chance to use it for something…I am free to choose what that something is, and that something I have chosen is my faith. Now my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands—and this is not optional—that I do all I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as possible and with whatever I have at my disposal to try to make a difference.

Jimmy Carter

This Day's Verse

The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.

Psalm 85:12
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

We don’t have to worry about how wise or clever we are—God chose the foolish. We don’t have to worry about how powerful we are—God chose the weak. We don’t have to worry about how popular we are, or even whether we’ll amount to anything much—God chose the despised and the ones who were nothing. None of those human measurements counts when it comes to performing great acts in life—great acts as defined by God, acts of humility, obedience, and love.

This Day's Thought

If thou wouldst find much favor and peace with God and man, be very low in thine own eyes; forgive thyself little, and others much.

Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.

2 Timothy 4:2
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

Little is much if God is in it.

This Day's Thought

No one can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, except those who have learned it by experience. It is a great matter when in extreme need, to take hold on prayer. I know that whenever I have earnestly prayed, I have been amply heard, and have obtained more than I prayed for. God, indeed, sometimes delayed, but at last He came.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 14:12
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

As believers, we need to reaffirm our commitment to moral purity and to private lives that are absolutely free of secret sins.

Charles Swindoll

This Day's Verse

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Psalm 16:11
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

If we are willing to be patient until the grace of God is made manifest, whether it takes nine years or ninety, it will be worth the wait.

This Day's Thought

There is many a thing which the world calls disappointment, but there is no such a word in the dictionary of faith. What to others are disappointments are to believers intimations of the way of God.

John Newton

This Day's Verse

And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men.”

Mark 1:17
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

If you are a stranger to prayer, you are a stranger to the greatest source of power known to human beings.

New Year’s Day is a good time to fix one’s eyes on the only One who knows what the year is to hold.

This Day's Thought

Of all persons the Christian should be best prepared for whatever the New Year brings. He has dealt with life at its source. In Christ he has disposed of a thousand enemies that other men must face alone and unprepared. He can face his tomorrow cheerful and unafraid because yesterday he turned his feet into the ways of peace and today he lives in God. The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation.

A. W. Tozer

This Day's Verse

Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

2 Peter 3:13
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

And during the New Year may you have:
enough happiness to keep you sweet – enough trials to keep you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human – enough hope to keep you happy,
enough failure to keep you humble – enough success to keep you eager,
enough friends to give you comfort – enough wealth to meet your needs,
enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow, and
enough determination to make each day better than the day before.
