This Day's Thought

When Christ is not known it is impossible to have any understanding in Scripture.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:5-11
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

God cannot endure that unfestive, mirthless attitude of ours in which we eat our bread in sorrow, with pretentious, busy haste, or even with shame. Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This Day's Thought

Though the Bible urges us on to perfection it gives no encouragement to suppose that perfection is achieved….A man who thinks he is righteous is not righteous…for the reason, primarily, that he is full of spiritual pride, the most deadly form that sin can take.

D. Elton Trueblood

This Day's Verse

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Proverbs 19:11
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

We will have eternity to celebrate the victories, but only a few hours before sunset to win them.

This Day's Thought

Many favors which God gives us ravel out for want of hemming through our unthankfulness; for, though prayer purchases blessings, giving praise keeps the quiet possession of them.

Thomas Fuller

This Day's Verse

“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”

Psalm 50:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Rest and be thankful.

This Day's Thought

Thanksgiving is nothing if not a glad and reverent lifting of the heart to God in honour and praise for His goodness.

James R. Miller

This Day's Verse

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name!

Psalm 100:4

O, heavenly Father: we thank thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank thee for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service,
That thy gifts to us may be used for others.
Amen.

This Day's Thought

John Henry Jowett said: “Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.” This is a most searching and true diagnosis. Gratitude can be a vaccine that can prevent the invasion of a disgruntled attitude. As antitoxins prevent the disastrous effects of certain poisons and diseases, Thanksgiving destroys the poison of faultfinding and grumbling. When trouble has smitten us, a spirit of thanksgiving is a soothing anti-septic.

Clinton C. Cox

This Day's Verse

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

Nehemiah 12:46
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

A real Thanksgiving is celebrated in real thanksgiving.

This Day's Thought

Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him.  Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.

Thomas à Kempis

This Day's Verse

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;

Galatians 5:22-23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Too many clergymen have become keepers of an aquarium instead of fishers of men—and often they are just swiping each other’s fish.
