This Day's Thought

It is for the sake of man, not of God, that worship and prayers are required; that man may be made better—that he may be confirmed in a proper sense of his dependent state, and acquire those pious and virtuous dispositions in which his highest improvement consists.

Hugh Blair

There is a wealth of unexpressed love in the world. It is one of the chief causes of sorrow evoked by death: what might have been said or might have been done that never can be said or done.

This Day's Thought

As the prudent vintager eats only ripe grapes, and gathers not those which are green, so the eyes of a wise man rests only upon the virtue in others; whereas the eyes of the fool seeks only to discover in his neighbor vices and defects.

John Climacus

This Day's Verse

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.

1 Corinthians 12:4-7
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

God could not have chosen anyone less qualified, or more of a sinner, than myself. And so, for this wonderful work He intends to perform through us, He selected me—for God always chooses the weak and the absurd, and those who count for nothing.

Francis of Assisi

This Day's Thought

A great many people are always ready to pray when the devil gets them into trouble; but when they get out of trouble they soon forget God.

This Day's Verse

When I am with those whose consciences bother them easily, I don’t act as though I know it all and don’t say they are foolish; the result is that they are willing to let me help them. Yes, whatever a person is like, I try to find common ground with him so that he will let me tell him about Christ and let Christ save him. I do this to get the Gospel to them and also for the blessing I myself receive when I see them come to Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:22-23
The Living Bible

This Day's Thought

God, who is liberal in all his other gifts, shows us, by the wise economy of his providence, how circumspect we ought to be in the management of our time, for he never gives us two moments together.

François de Fénelon

Many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.”

This Day's Thought

St. Benedict said, “Always, we begin again.” It’s the same in twelve-step work. Every day, you get up and you try again. That’s our relationship with God—you can go way off the rails spiritually and forget about God and not spend enough time with God, and neglect your prayer life, and God is in that chapel waiting for you to come back. Missing you. Loving you. Always wanting to be with you. That’s the kind of love that God has for us. I hadn’t heeded the call when I was younger, and God still loved me. I had lied about my faith, and God still loved me. I had failed to go to church, and God still loved me. And now I was ready to begin again.

Monica Clare

This Day's Verse

Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Job 37:14

This Day's Smile

To have grown wise and kind is real success.

This Day's Thought

Sorrow is divine. Sorrow is reigning on all the thrones of the universe, and the crown of all crowns has been one of thorns. There have been many books that treat of the sympathy of sorrow, but only one that bids us glory in tribulation, and count it all joy when we fall into divers afflictions, that so we may be associated with that great fellowship of suffering of which the incarnate Son of God is the head, and through which He is carrying a redemptive conflict to a glorious victory over evil. If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

This Day's Verse

As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Proverbs 27:17
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Never lose sight of the fact that old age needs so little but needs that little so much.

This Day's Thought

If your father and mother, your sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house, are not happier for your being Christian, it is a question whether you really are.

James Hudson Taylor

This Day's Verse

The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

Lamentations 3:25-26
The New Revised Standard Version

My temptations have been my masters in divinity.
