This Day's Thought

God does not help us by removing the tests, but by making the tests work for us.

Warren Wiersbe

This Day's Verse

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

2 Corinthians 13:14
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

A powerful story came out of World War II. It is about a little Jewish boy who was living in a small Polish village when Nazi troops rounded up him and all the other Jews in the vicinity and sentenced them to death. The boy joined his neighbours in digging a shallow ditch for their own graves. Then the soldiers lined them up against a wall and machine gunned them down. But none of the bullets hit the little boy. The blood of his parents splattered his naked body, and as he fell into the ditch he pretended to be dead. The grave was so shallow that the thin covering of dirt did not prevent him from breathing. Several hours later, when darkness fell, he clawed his way out of the grave. With blood and dirt caked to his little body, he made his way to the nearest house and begged for help. Recognizing him as one of the Jewish boys marked for death, he was turned away at house after house as people feared getting into trouble with the SS troops. Then something inside seemed to guide him to say something that was very strange for a Jewish boy to say. When the next family responded to his timid knocking in the still of the night, they heard him cry, “Don’t you recognize me? I am the Jesus you say you love.” After a poignant pause, the woman who stood in the doorway swept him into her arms and kissed him. From that day on, the members of that family cared for that boy as though he was one of their own.

This Day's Thought

He became what we are that he might make us what he is.

Athanasius

This Day's Verse

For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Psalm 96:4-6
The English Standard Version

I’ve no idea when Jesus is coming back. I’m on the Welcoming Committee, not the Planning Committee.

This Day's Thought

If the tomb is empty, then anything is possible.

Joey Martin

This Day's Verse

For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteousness, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,

1 Peter 3:18
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The Easter message tells us that our enemies, sin, the curse, and death, are beaten. Ultimately they can no longer start mischief. They still behave as though the game were not decided, the battle not fought; we must still reckon with them, but fundamentally we must cease to fear them any more.

This Day's Thought

Let’s take Jesus at His word. When He says we’re forgiven, let’s unload the guilt. When He says we’re valuable, let’s believe Him. When He says we’re eternal, let’s bury our fear. When He says we’re provided for, let’s stop worrying.

Max Lucado

This Day's Verse

“And note this: Some who seem least important now will be the greatest then, and some who are the greatest now will be least important then.”

Luke 13:30
The New Living Translation

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.

Is my heart more aligned with Jesus’ mission or my own?

Meredith Houston

This Day's Verse

“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin.”

This Day's Thought

Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in his life was to do his Father’s will. His is not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

The wicked are edgy with guilt, ready to run off even when no one’s after them; Honest people are relaxed and confident, bold as lions.

Proverbs 28
The Message

This Day's Reprise

Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible type of poverty.

Mother Teresa

This Day's Thought

You can’t pump up faith out of your own heart. Whenever faith is starved in your soul, it is because you are not in contact with Jesus; get in contact with him, and lack of faith will go in two seconds.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me. How great are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to generation.

Daniel 4:2-3
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

The easiest place in which to be spiritual is in public; the most difficult is at home.

This Day's Thought

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.

“God is so great that we cannot begin to know him. No one can begin to understand eternity.”

Job 36:26
The Living Bible

This Day's Reprise

We all carry about in our pockets His very nails.
