This Day's Thought

Rabbi Mendel of Kotzk observed a villager praying most fervently during Yom Kippur services. Knowing that this man was uneducated and could barely read Hebrew, the Rabbi’s curiosity was aroused. After services, he questioned the villager. The man confessed: “Rabbi, since I can’t read too well, I recited the letters of the alphabet over and over, and beseeched the Almighty to arrange them into the appropriate words of the prayers.” Rabbi Mendel said: “Your prayer was more acceptable than mine because you uttered it with the entire devotion of your heart.”

Menachem Mendel of Kotzk

This Day's Thought

It is no strain of metaphor to say that the love of God and the wrath of God are the same thing, described from opposite points of view. How we shall experience it depends upon the way we shall come up against it: God does not change; it is man’s moral state that changes. The wrath of God is a figure of speech to denote God’s unchanging opposition to sin; it is His righteous love operating to destroy evil. It is not evil that will have the last word, but good; not sorrow, but joy; not hate, but love.

R. J. Campbell

This Day's Verse

One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. “Where is your faith?” he asked his disciples. In fear and amazement they asked one another, “Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.”

Luke 8:22-25
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

Friends are needed both for joy and for sorrow.

Make use of time, if thou valuest eternity. Yesterday cannot be recalled; tomorrow cannot be assured; today only is thine, which, if thou procrastinatest, thou losest; which loss is lost forever.

This Day's Thought

If God send thee a cross, take it up willingly and follow him. Use it wisely, lest it be unprofitable. Bear it patiently, lest it be intolerable. If it be light, slight it not. If it be heavy, murmur not. After the cross is the crown.

Francis Quarles

This Day's Verse

“You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether one of your brethren or one of the aliens who is in your land within your gates. Each day you shall give him his wages, and not let the sun go down on it, for he is poor and has set his heart on it; lest he cry out against you to the Lord, and it be sin to you.”

Deuteronomy 24:14-15
The New King James Version

Sin is never at a stay; if we do not retreat from it, we shall advance in it; and the farther on we go, the more we have to come back.

Psalm 55:16-18

A wise man reflects before he speaks; a fool speaks, and then reflects on what he has uttered.
