This Day's Thought

It was a new way of seeing for me.  Always before, I’d looked for God in happy endings.  If the ending wasn’t happy, then God must not be in it.  At last, I came to understand a deeper truth.  Happy endings come and go.  That doesn’t mean God is absent.  It just means you need to learn to see him wherever you are.  If you keep your eyes on him, you will find that everything else changes too.  The larger purpose in all of that is God.  Now I put my faith in him—not in happy endings.  With God, every ending is just a fresh start that draws me ever closer to him.

George Koonce

This Day's Thought

A man is known to his dog by the smell, to his tailor by the coat, to his friend by the smile; each of these know him, but how little or how much depends on the dignity of the intelligence.  That which is truly and indeed characteristic of the man is known only to God.

John Ruskin

This Day's Verse

All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Matthew 10:22
The New International Version

Christianity is called a spiritual walk.  It’s not a run and it’s not a jog.  It’s a walk you do from day to day and that makes you stable.

Fulfillment doesn’t automatically happen as a result of linking up with the “right” person, job, or even ministry.  Fulfillment happens as a result of being in God’s will.
