This Day's Thought

When our lives are focused on God, awe and wonder lead us to worship God, filling our inner being with a fullness we would never have thought possible. Awe prepares the way in us for the power of God to transform us and this transformation of our inner attitudes can only take place when awe leads us in turn to wonder, admiration, reverence, surrender, and obedience toward God.

James M. Houston

This Day's Verse

Claiming themselves to be wise without God, they became utter fools instead.

Romans 1:22
The Living Bible

This Day's Reprise

A Christian should be a striking likeness of Jesus Christ. You have read lives of Christ, beautifully written; but the best life of Christ is His living biography, written out in the words and action of His people.

Charles H. Spurgeon

This Day's Thought

The longer I live, the larger allowances I make for human infirmities. I exact more from myself, and less from others.

And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Isaiah 6:3
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Thought

Things have in fact just that value which God sees in them, and no other. To Him, the All Holy and All Wise, the pomps and successes of men and what are sometimes called the “substantial rewards of life” are simply of no worth whatever.

Edward F. Garesché

This Day's Verse

Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us.

Ecclesiastes 7:3
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

We carry within us the wonders we seek without us.

This Day's Thought

In times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.

John Bunyan

This Day's Verse

And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

Luke 11:1-4
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

Stubbornness should have been my middle name.

This Day's Verse

For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?

Deuteronomy 4:7
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The greater number of men pass through life with souls asleep.

God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

I count all that part of my life lost which I spent not in communion with God or in doing good.

This Day's Thought

There is no emptiness of soul ever for those whose life is devoted to God.

William Lawson

This Day's Verse

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

Psalm 133
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

The person who goes quietly, goes with health and goes far.

This Day's Thought

The soul is the primary principle of our nourishment, sensation, movement, and understanding.

Thomas Aquinas

This Day's Verse

And he humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but that man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord.

Deuteronomy 8:3
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

God does not answer our desperate questionings; he simply gives us himself.

This Day's Thought

Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life’s important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.

Fred Rogers

This Day's Verse

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:21
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Reprise

How often do we need to see God’s face, hear His voice, feel His touch, know His power? The answer to all these questions is the same: Every day!

This Day's Thought

To be gone from the kingdom of God, to be an exile from God’s city, to be cut off from the divine life, to be without the manifold sweetness of God—is so mighty a punishment that no torments that we know can be compared with it.

Augustine

This Day's Verse

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”

Acts 5:29-32
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.

Oswald Chambers
