This Day's Thought

The possibilities of prayer are found in its allying itself with the purposes of God, for God’s purposes and man’s praying are the combination of all potent and omnipotent forces.

E. M. Bounds

This Day's Verse

Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

Proverbs 26:12
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

We are anxious to win our friends to our political beliefs or new diet fads, but our religion we keep strictly to ourselves.

This Day's Thought

Religion is the fear and love of God; its demonstration is good works; and faith is the root of both, for without faith we cannot please God; nor can we fear and love what we do not believe.

William Penn

Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts.’

Zechariah 1:3
The New King James Version

It is meditation that leads us in spirit into the hallowed solitudes wherein we find God alone—in peace, in calm, in silence, in recollection.

The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

This Day's Thought

When we wholeheartedly commit ourselves to God, there is nothing mediocre or run-of-the-mill about us. To live for Christ is to be passionate about our Lord and about our lives.

Jim Gallery

This Day's Verse

Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you, you are my servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me. I have swept away your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.

Isaiah 44:21-22

This Day's Thought

True repentance hates the sin, and not merely the penalty; and it hates the sin most of all because it has discovered and felt God’s love.

William Mackergo Taylor

This Day's Verse

For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Matthew 16:25
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

There is little good in filling churches with people who go out exactly the same as they came in; the call of the Church is not to fill churches but to fill heaven.

This Day's Thought

Love has a hem to her garment that reaches to the very dust. It sweeps the stains from the streets and lanes, and because it can, it must.

Mother Teresa

This Day's Verse

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes; and I will keep it to the end. Give me understanding, that I may keep thy law and observe it with my whole heart.

Psalm 119:33-34
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Thought

When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is; we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life’s dimensions adjusted again.

Warren Wiersbe

This Day's Verse

The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.

Proverbs 10:27
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Let a man go to a psychiatrist and what does he become? An adjusted sinner. Let a man go to a physician and what does he become? A healthy sinner. Let a man achieve wealth and what does he become? A wealthy sinner. Let a man join a church, sign a card, and turn over a new leaf and what does he become? A religious sinner. But let him go in sincere repentance and faith to the foot of Calvary’s cross, and what does he become? A new creature in Jesus Christ, forgiven, reconciled, with meaning and purpose in his life and on the way to marvelous fulfillment in God’s will.

Except by redemption no man has been delivered, no man is delivered, no man shall be delivered.

Augustine

We live by faith, not by sight.

The New International Version

This Day's Smile

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It’s not the sort of comfort they supply there.

Repentance, if it is true and sincere, will never be too late.

This Day's Verse

Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

This Day's Thought

“My peace I give unto you”; it is a peace all over from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet, an irrepressible confidence.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 104:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The story is told of a poor man who plodded along toward home in an Irish town carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon carrying a stranger came along, and the stranger stopped the wagon and invited the man on foot to climb inside. This the poor man did, but when he sat down in the wagon he held the bag of potatoes in his arms. And when it was suggested that he should set it down, he said very warmly: “Sir, I don’t like to trouble you too much. You’re giving me a ride. I’ll carry the potatoes!” Sometimes we think we are doing the Lord a favor when we carry the burden. But the work is His, and the burden is His, and He asks us only to be faithful.
