This Day's Thought

Humility is the only response we should have towards a God who has given everything for our sake.

John Calvin

This Day's Verse

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

James 4:17
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

J. Hudson Taylor, visiting D. L. Moody in Chicago, was invited to preach at Moody’s church.  At end of service Moody announced they were going to take an offering and Hudson Taylor, who was the guest speaker, came onstage and said. “No, we have a non-solicitation policy.”  Moody thought he was crazy.  Lo and behold the next day a man brings Taylor a check for $5000 and tells him, “If I gave yesterday at church I would have only given you $5.”  We live in a world where we are probably overly dependent on our human efforts to do God’s work, whereas we are called to a simple faith.

James Hudson Taylor IV

It is cynicism and fear that freeze life; it is faith that thaws it out, releases it, sets it free.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

This Day's Verse

As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:4-5
The New International Version

This Day's Verse

The Lord preserves the faithful

Psalm 31:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator.  If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.  If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.  But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

This Day's Thought

In the early years of Christian experience he often meets our needs in striking ways in order to strengthen and confirm our new and weak faith.  But the more experience of his goodness and faithfulness we have, the more he is able to test and develop our faith by teaching us long-suffering and the assurance to wait patiently.

Hannah Hurnard

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

The King James Version
