This Day's Smile

A man fell off a cliff but managed to grab hold of a branch on his way down. He hung there and shouted up to the top,
“Is anybody up there?”
“Yes,” came the reply, “God is up here!”
“Can you help me, God?”
“Yes.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Let go of the branch.”
There was a pause.
“Is there anybody else up there?”

Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted.

This Day's Thought

Religion is the fear and love of God; its demonstration is good works; and faith is the root of both, for without faith we cannot please God; nor can we fear and love what we do not believe.

William Penn

Zechariah 1:3
The New King James Version

Except by redemption no man has been delivered, no man is delivered, no man shall be delivered.

Augustine

This Day's Verse

We live by faith, not by sight.

2 Corinthians 5:7

This Day's Smile

It is quite useless knocking at the door of heaven for earthly comfort. It’s not the sort of comfort they supply there.

This Day's Thought

“My peace I give unto you”; it is a peace all over from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet, an irrepressible confidence.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 104:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The story is told of a poor man who plodded along toward home in an Irish town carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon carrying a stranger came along, and the stranger stopped the wagon and invited the man on foot to climb inside. This the poor man did, but when he sat down in the wagon he held the bag of potatoes in his arms. And when it was suggested that he should set it down, he said very warmly: “Sir, I don’t like to trouble you too much. You’re giving me a ride. I’ll carry the potatoes!” Sometimes we think we are doing the Lord a favor when we carry the burden. But the work is His, and the burden is His, and He asks us only to be faithful.

This Day's Thought

God’s silence is in no way indicative of His activity or involvement in our lives. He may be silent, but He is not still.

Charles Swindoll

This Day's Verse

Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Psalm 127:1-2
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Benjamin West tells how he actually became a successful and important painter. When he was young, his mother went out and left him in charge of his sister Sally. In the meantime, little Benjamin discovered bottles of colored ink and began to do Sally’s portrait. What a mess soon developed. Finally, when Ben’s mother came home and saw the tragic mess, she said nothing. She merely picked up the paper with the portrait and said, “Why it’s Sally!” and she kissed Ben. Ever since that day, West has said, “My mother’s kiss made me a painter.”

This Day's Thought

You can’t pump up faith out of your own heart. Whenever faith is starved in your soul, it is because you are not in contact with Jesus; get in contact with him, and lack of faith will go in two seconds.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me. How great are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to generation.

Daniel 4:2-3
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

The easiest place in which to be spiritual is in public; the most difficult is at home.
