This Day's Thought

The only sure way to take fear out of living is to keep a respectful fear of God in our lives, which means to maintain a reverent attitude toward his place and influence. This brand of fear is a healthy ingredient, a deterrent to want, a spur to courage and confidence, an insurance against loss, and source of comfort and understanding.

Eugene Asa Carr

This Day's Verse

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Returning good for good is human; returning good for evil is divine.

This Day's Thought

Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose. Oh, that God would make me more fruitful and spiritual.

David Brainerd

This Day's Verse

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

Psalm 139:14
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The captain of the ship looked into the dark night and saw faint lights in the distance. Immediately he told his signalman to send a message: “Alter your course 10 degrees south.” Promptly a return message was received: “Alter your course 10 degrees north.”

The captain was angered; his command had been ignored. So he sent a second message: “Alter your course 10 degrees south—I am the captain!” Soon another message was received: “Alter your course 10 degrees north —I am seaman third class Jones.

Immediately the captain sent a third message, knowing the fear it would evoke: “Alter your course 10 degrees south—I am a battleship!” Then the reply came: “Alter your course 10 degrees north—I am a lighthouse.”

This Day's Thought

BEGIN THE DAY WITH GOD. Kneel down to Him in prayer; lift up your heart to Him. And seek His love to share.

OPEN THE BOOK OF GOD. Read a portion there, that it may clarify all your thoughts and sweeten all your care.

GO THROUGH THE DAY WITH GOD. Even though you may not see Him, wherever you are He is near.

CONVERSE IN YOUR MIND WITH GOD. Raise your spirit heavenward; acknowledge every good He provides, and offer grateful praise.

CONCLUDE YOUR DAY WITH GOD. Confess your sins to Him; trust in the Lord’s atoning blood, and plead His righteousness.

Richard DeHaan

This Day's Verse

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

1 Peter 2:9
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

There is nothing that can be done with anger that cannot be done better without it.

This Day's Thought

Let no thought linger in your mind that you would be ashamed to let out of your mouth.

Unknown

This Day's Verse

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Matthew 28:19-20
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

But upon a day the good providence of God did cast me to Bedford to work on my calling, and in one of the streets of that town I came where there were three or four poor women sitting at a door in the sun and talking about the things of God; and being now willing to hear them discourse, I drew near to hear what they said, for I was now a brisk talker also myself in the matters of religion. But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth—the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

This Day's Thought

Most Christians understand that salvation comes by faith, apart from feelings. But they think that the Spirit-controlled life requires some type of mystical experience—a feeling, a surge of power, or being overcome by waves of love. Those experiences are usually not around when you need them. What you need is spiritual power, independent of feelings, experiences, or circumstances. That comes when we give each day to God and anticipate his blessing.

Erwin W. Lutzer

This Day's Verse

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

Psalm 1:1-3
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for him.

This Day's Thought

The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt.

John Chrysostom

This Day's Verse

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Ephesians 2:8
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Hope can be ignited by a spark of encouragement.

This Day's Thought

Ministers are not professional holy men or women, but representatives of the people of God. They are samples of what it means to open up one’s heart to Christ, and let his work be done within one’s life. Ministers are examples of God’s work in progress—not the finished products.

Colbert S. Cartwright

This Day's Verse

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 1:8
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

If you find yourself wearing a spirit of heaviness, replace it with a garment of praise.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

This Day's Thought

Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel free and unhampered, but a maze of passages, through which we must seek our way, lost and confused, now and again checked in a blind alley. But always, if we have faith, a door will open for us, not perhaps one that we ourselves would ever have thought of, but one that will ultimately prove good for us.

A. J. Cronin

This Day's Verse

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

2 Corinthians 10:5
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

Kindness is simply love flowing out in little gentlenesses.

This Day's Thought

You cannot claim to worship Jesus in the tabernacle if you do not pity Jesus in the slum. Now go out into the highways and hedges, and look for Jesus in the ragged and the naked..in those who have lost hope, and in those who are struggling to make good. Look for Jesus in them; and when you have found him, gird yourself with his towel of fellowship and wash His feet in the person of his brethren.

Frank Weston

This Day's Verse

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Psalm 1:6
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

It would seem, after having been a Christian for almost 80 years, that I would no longer do ugly things that need forgiving.  Yet I am constantly doing things to others that cause me to have to go back and ask their forgiveness.  Sometimes these are things I actually do—other times they are simply attitudes I let creep in which break the circle of God’s perfect love.
