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.”

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.

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.

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 Verse

For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.

1 Thessalonians 1:4-5
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.

Without God, life is a monotonous repetition of weeks, months, seasons, years, decades, and generations.
