Sunrise at the far horizon was sunrise near me in this infant.

Walter Wangerin, Jr.

This Day's Verse

When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.  He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

This Day's Thought

When Jesus Christ utters a word, He opens His mouth so wide that it embraces all heaven and earth, even though that Word be but in a whisper. The word of the emperor is powerful, but that of Jesus Christ governs the whole universe.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

“Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. For the sake of his great name the Lord will not reject his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own. As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will perish.”

1 Samuel 12:20-25
The New International Version

Happiness grows at your own fireside, and is not to be picked in strangers’ gardens.

This Day's Thought

Meditation is different from studying. By study, truth is explored; by meditation it is felt. By the one, things different are discriminated; by the other, what is known is loved and embraced. The design of secret meditation is not so much to accumulate knowledge, or to please ourselves, as to enlarge the desires of the soul and to elevate the affections.

David Sturrock

This Day's Verse

“‘And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’”

Acts 2:21
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.

This Day's Thought

For the Christian, Jesus is the Way. All things are measured by his Way: by his healing grace, his call to forgiveness and purity of heart, nonviolence and a concern for justice; by his relinquishment of earthly power and dominance; affirmation of agape (friendship and self-giving Love) as a new basis for kinship, of change of heart as the requirement for righteousness, and of the transcendent power of suffering.

Madonna Kolbenschlag

This Day's Verse

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

Psalm 145:18
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Sometime near a century ago the advice was given to young preachers: “When you go to the city to preach, take your best coat; when you go to the country, take your best sermon.”

This Day's Thought

As I draw near the borderland…the wonderful light of the other life seems often to shine so joyfully into this one, that I almost forget the past and present, in an eager anticipation of the approaching awakening.
