This Day's Thought

Many live in dread of what is coming. Why should we? The unknown puts adventure into life. It gives us something to sharpen our souls on. The unexpected around the corner gives a sense of anticipation and surprise. Thank God for the unknown future.

E. Stanley Jones

This Day's Thought

Be on the lookout for mercies. The more we look for them, the more of them we will see. Blessings brighten when we count them. Out of the determination of the heart the eyes see. If you want to be gloomy, there’s gloom enough to keep you glum; if you want to be happy, there’s gleam enough to keep you glad. Better to lose count while naming your blessings than to lose your blessings by counting your troubles.

Maltbie D. Babcock

This Day's Verse

“‘And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’”

Mark 12:30
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to Him.

This Day's Thought

It is important that when we come to die we have nothing to do but to die.

Charles Hodge

This Day's Verse

From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

Psalm 3:8
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

When John Wesley was first converted he retired from the world to study. One day an old man said to him: “Sir, if you wish to serve God, you can’t serve Him alone. You must find companions or make them. The Bible knows nothing of solitary religion.” From that day, John Wesley’s fellowship warmed all England.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

This Day's Thought

I love poverty because He loved it. I love riches because they afford me the means of helping the very poor. I keep faith with everybody; I do not render evil to those who wrong me, but I wish them a situation like mine, in which I receive neither good nor evil from men. I try to be just, true, sincere, and faithful to all men; I have a tender heart for those to whom God has more closely united me; and whether I am alone, or seen by people, I do all my actions in the sight of God, who must judge them, and to whom I have consecrated them all. These are my sentiments; and every day of my life, I bless my Redeemer, who has implanted them in me, and who, out of a man full of weakness, of miseries, of lust, of pride, and of ambition, has made a man free from all these evils by the power of His grace, to which all the glory of it is due, as of myself I have only misery and error.

Blaise Pascal

This Day's Verse

The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart.

Proverbs 20:27
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

A healthy family is sacred territory.

This Day's Thought

It is of the very essence of faith that we should believe that what Jesus says is true. So often we have a kind of vague, wistful longing that the promises of Jesus should be true. The only way really to enter into them is to believe them with the clutching intensity of a drowning man.

William Barclay

This Day's Verse

And what does he desire? Godly offspring.

Malachi 2:15
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The luxuries we indulge in eventually come to seem to be necessities, as if we could not live without them.

This Day's Thought

Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note—torn in two and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.

Henry Ward Beecher

This Day's Verse

You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

Jeremiah 29:13
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with.

This Day's Thought

It is not the distance of the earth from the sun, nor the sun’s withdrawing itself, that makes a dark and gloomy day; but the interposition of clouds and vaporous exhalations. Neither is thy soul beyond the reach of the promise, nor does God withdraw Himself; but the vapors of thy carnal, unbelieving heart do cloud thee.

John Owen

This Day's Verse

Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Psalm 100:3
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

The hungry need bread and the homeless need a roof; the dispossessed need justice and the lonely need fellowship; the undisciplined need order and the slaves need freedom. To allow the hungry to remain hungry would be blasphemy against God and one’s neighbor, for what is nearest to God is precisely the need of one’s neighbor.

This Day's Thought

For a long generation we have been engaged in simplifying the Gospel, in saying to the intellectually perplexed, “You need not believe that.” We have pared down the Gospel, shrunk and reduced it until in our churches, preachers have sometimes seemed to be playing a game to see how little a man may believe and still be a Christian.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

This Day's Verse

Since you have been chosen by God who has given you this new kind of life, and because of his deep love and concern for you, you should practice tenderhearted mercy and kindness to others. Don’t worry about making a good impression on them, but be ready to suffer quietly and patiently. Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

Colossians 3:12-13
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

“I’ll not take your money, Pastor,” Old John insisted after the Saturday shoe shining was completed. “You shine my soul on Sunday, and I’ll shine your shoes on Saturday.” “From that time on,” said the minister, “I made a special effort to be helpful in every sermon of mine and in all my other speaking—to shine people’s souls.”

This Day's Thought

Our physical demand is great. We need a healthy body. We dealt so much in soulfulness, we forgot the holiness of the body. We neglected physical health and strength; we forgot that we have holy flesh, no less than holy spirit.

Abraham Isaac Kook

This Day's Verse

Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

John 16:32
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

God often takes a course for accomplishing His purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings, wishes and prospects when He is about to give us the desire of our hearts.

This Day's Thought

For John, belief means the conviction of the mind that Jesus is the Son of God, the trust of the heart that everything he says is true and the basing of every action on the unshakable assurance that we must take him at his word. When we do that we stop existing and begin living.

William Barclay

This Day's Verse

Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, For I am desolate and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have enlarged; Bring me out of my distresses! Look on my affliction and my pain, And forgive all my sins.

Psalm 25:16-18
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Remember, a small light will do a great deal when it is in a very dark place. Put one little tallow candle in the middle of a large hall, and it will give a good deal of light.

D. L. Moody
