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.

This Day's Thought

By salvation I mean a present deliverance from sin, a restoration of the soul to its primitive health, its original purity, a recovery of the divine nature.

John Wesley

This Day's Verse

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:9
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away.

This Day's Thought

There is no greater misery than false joys.

Bernard of Clairvaux

This Day's Verse

But thou, O LORD, dost reign for ever; thy throne endures to all generations.

Lamentations 5:19
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

A farmer whose barns were full of corn was accustomed to pray that the needy be supplied; but when anyone in needy circumstances asked for a little of his corn, he said he had none to spare. One day after hearing father pray for the poor and needy, his little son said to him, “Father, I wish I had your corn.” “What would you do with it?” asked the father. The child replied, “I would answer your prayer.”

Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who have pleasure in them. Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures for ever.

Psalm 111:2-3
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Blessedness lieth not in much and many, but in one and oneness.

There is no temper of the soul more antithetic to New Testament religion than that which plays for safety.

There are friends who pretend to be friends, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

This Day's Smile

The Jews would not willingly tread upon the smallest scrap of paper in their way, but took it up; for possibly, said they, the name of God may be on it.
