This Day's Thought

Sorrow is only one of the lower notes in the oratorio of our blessedness.

Adoniram J. Gordon

This Day's Verse

“However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?’”

Acts 7:48-50
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Of eight things a little is good and much is evil: travel, mating, wealth, work, wine, sleep, spiced drinks, medicine.

This Day's Thought

That is not the best sermon which makes the hearers go away talking to one another, and praising the speaker, but which makes them go away thoughtful and serious, and hastening to be alone.

Gilbert Burnet

Keep your eyes open for spiritual danger; stand true to the Lord; act like men; be strong; and whatever you do, do it with kindness and love.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14
The Living Bible

This Day's Thought

That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Saviour, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.

Alexander Maclaren

This Day's Verse

Trust in the LORD forever, for in the LORD GOD you have an everlasting rock.

Isaiah 26:4
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

We know that people we love are both good and bad, but we expect strangers to be one or the other.

This Day's Thought

When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is; we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life’s dimensions adjusted again.

Warren Wiersbe

This Day's Verse

The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.

Proverbs 10:27
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Let a man go to a psychiatrist and what does he become? An adjusted sinner. Let a man go to a physician and what does he become? A healthy sinner. Let a man achieve wealth and what does he become? A wealthy sinner. Let a man join a church, sign a card, and turn over a new leaf and what does he become? A religious sinner. But let him go in sincere repentance and faith to the foot of Calvary’s cross, and what does he become? A new creature in Jesus Christ, forgiven, reconciled, with meaning and purpose in his life and on the way to marvelous fulfillment in God’s will.

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.”

Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Deuteronomy 6:5
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

A novice monk asked a seasoned old veteran of the abbey, “After you entered the monastery, did you still struggle with the devil?” “No” Answered the older monk. “I struggled with God.” “With God?” Exclaimed his neophyte friend, “How could you hope to win?” The older monk softly replied, “When I struggle with God, I hope to lose.”

This Day's Thought

We don’t give up. We look up. We trust. We believe. And our optimism is not hollow. Christ has proven worthy. He has shown that he never fails. That’s what makes God, God.

Max Lucado

Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.

Acts 3:19-20
The New Living Translation

This Day's Thought

At the day of judgment it shall not be asked of us what we have read, but what we have done; not how well we have said, but how religiously we have lived.

We all carry about in our pockets His very nails.
