This Day's Thought

Happiness is living by inner purpose, not by outer pressures. Happiness is a happening-with-God.

David Augsburger

This Day's Verse

“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a whole heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every plan and thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off for ever. Take heed now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”

1 Chronicles 28:9-10
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Thought

We learn that faith isn’t proven in the comfort of stability but in the disruptions that follow it. Every setback, every loss, every unexpected turn becomes another reminder that God’s plan is far deeper than our understanding. And yet, through it all, we keep moving forward—trusting that the same God who carried us through the chaos before will meet us again in whatever lies ahead.

Timothy Graumann

This Day's Verse

He answered and said to them, “He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.”

Luke 3:11
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

It is impossible to be too preoccupied with God, and it is only as we fill our hearts and minds with him that we become melted out of our likeness and moulded into his.

This Day's Thought

One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others.

Lewis Carroll

This Day's Verse

Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires, that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other. Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.

1 Kings 8:59-61
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

One thing we may be sure of: For the believer all pain has meaning; all adversity is profitable. There is no question that adversity is difficult. It usually takes us by surprise and seems to strike where we are most vulnerable. To us it often appears completely senseless and irrational, but to God none of it is either senseless or irrational. He has a purpose in every pain He brings or allows in our lives. We can be sure that in some way He intends it for our profit and His glory.

This Day's Thought

The world with all its goods cannot content the heart of man; for he was created not for them, but for God alone; hence God alone can make him happy and content.

Alphonsus Liguori

This Day's Verse

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Psalm 37:5
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

My strength is as the strength of ten,
Because my heart is pure.

This Day's Thought

Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which God gave Him to do. The only alternative to frustration is to be sure that we are doing what God wants. Nothing substitutes for knowing that this day, this hour, in this place, we are doing the will of the Father. Then and only then can we think of all the other unfinished tasks with equanimity, and leave them with God.

Charles E. Hummel

This Day's Verse

These things I command you, that ye love one another.

John 15:17
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

That which is infinite is as much above what is great as it is above what is small. Thus God, being infinitely great, He is as much above kings as He is above beggars; He is as much above the highest angel as He is above the meanest worm.

Jonathan Edwards

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

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.

John Wesley

This Day's Verse

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 Smile

The world is just a scaffolding up which souls climb to the kingdom of Heaven.

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.

Martin Luther
