This Day's Thought

A man should fear when he enjoys only the good he does publicly.  Is it not publicity rather than charity, which he loves?  Is it not vanity, rather than benevolence, that gives such charity?

Henry Ward Beecher

This Day's Verse

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace.  In the world you will have tribulation.  But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

John 16:33
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Oh, my dear friends:
You who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year, meaning to clear them up some day;
You who are keeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannot quite make up your mind that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them;
You who are passing men sullenly upon the street, not speaking to them out of some silly spite, and yet knowing that it would fill you with shame and remorse if you heard that one of those men were dead tomorrow morning;
You who are letting your neighbor starve, till you hear that he is dying of starvation;
Or letting your friend’s heart ache for a word of appreciation or sympathy, which you mean to give him some day;
If you only could know and see and feel, all of a sudden, that “the time is short,” how it would break the spell!  How you would go instantly and do the thing which you might never have another chance to do.

The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

They tell about a fifteen-year-old boy in an orphans’ home who had an incurable stutter.  One Sunday the minister was detained and the boy volunteered to say the prayer in his stead.  He did it perfectly, too, without a single stutter.  Later he explained, “I don’t stutter when I talk to God.  He loves me.”

When the spirit of prayer began to be lost, then forms of prayer were invented, and, I believe, the same observation will hold good as to preaching.

This Day's Thought

Not only the adoration of images is idolatry, but also trust in one’s own righteousness, works and merits, and putting confidence in riches and power.  As the latter is the commonest, so it also is the most noxious.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will do right and entrust their souls to a faithful Creator.

1 Peter 4:19
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.
