This Day's Thought

An old theologian once said, “Who chides a servant for taking away the first course of a feast when the second consists of far greater delicacies?” Who then can regret that this present world passes away when he sees that an eternal world of joy is coming? The first course is grace, but the second is glory, and that is as much better as the fruit is better than the blossom.

Charles Spurgeon

This Day's Verse

And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:19
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

My Bible didn’t come with a bottle of Wite-Out. I’ve looked for those Bible ‘kits’—I’ve seen others using them—but I still haven’t figured out where they’re getting them.

This Day's Thought

Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.

Jeremiah 23:29
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

An old Danish peasant on his death bed asked of his son only one promise: that he should sit alone for a half-hour each day in the best room in the house. The son did this and became a model for the whole district.

This Day's Thought

In an experience which often transcended all their powers of expression, the mystics realized God as an abiding Fact, a living Presence and Love, and by this their whole existence was transformed. And this happened to them, not because He loved and attended to them more than He does to us, but because they loved and attended to Him more than we do.

Evelyn Underhill

This Day's Verse

Thy word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Reprise

He preaches well who lives well. That’s all the divinity I know.

This Day's Thought

I am certain that the Bible is the Word of God. Either it is or it isn’t, and either all of it is the Word of God, or we never can be sure of any of it. It is either absolute or obsolete. If we have to start changing this verse, toning down that, apologizing for this and making allowances for that, we might as well give up, so we must take it as it is or leave it alone.

Vance Havner

This Day's Verse

And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

2 Timothy 2:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

You have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.

Augustine
