This Day's Smile

Sometimes you change people’s lives just by saying “good morning.”  I always say to myself, “I’ll never see this person again on the elevator, on the stairwell, in the grocery store.  This is the only chance, the two of us.”

This Day's Thought

He does not need to transplant us into a different field, but we should grow right where we are, with just the circumstances that surround us.  He makes His sun to shine and His dew to fall upon us, and transforms the very things that before were our greatest hindrances, into the chiefest and most blessed means of our growth.  No difficulties in your case can baffle Him.  No dwarfing of your growth in years that are past, no apparent dryness of your inward springs of life, no crookedness or deformity in any of your past development, can in the least mar the perfect work that He will accomplish.  Put yourselves absolutely into His hands, and let Him have His own way with you.

Hannah Whitall Smith

This Day's Verse

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,

Ephesians 6:7
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Prayer is the sum of our relationship with God. We are what we pray. The degree of our faith is the degree of our prayer. Our ability to love is our ability to pray.

If heaven be such a blessed world, then let this be our chosen country, and the inheritance we seek.

Jonathan Edwards

This Day's Verse

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matthew 6:25
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

I choose gentleness…nothing is won by force.  I choose to be gentle.  If I raise my voice may it be only in praise.  If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.  If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

This Day's Thought

How does our will become sanctified?  By conforming itself unreservedly to that of God.  We will all that He wills, and will nothing that He does not will; we attach our feeble will to that all-powerful will which performs everything.  Thus, nothing can ever come to pass against this will; for nothing can happen save that which God wills, and we find in His good pleasure an inexhaustible source of peace and consolation.

François Fénelon

This Day's Verse

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;

Ecclesiastes 9:10
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

In the name of Jesus Christ who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast.  With all eternity before us, make us take time to live—time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessing, and time to know each other.

George Whitefield

This Day's Verse

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.  “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”   “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”  He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”  “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied.  “Do this and you will live.”

Luke 10:25-28
