This Day's Thought

It is not difficult to see one vital significance of Jesus Christ: He has given us the most glorious interpretation of life’s meaning that the sons of men have ever had.  The fatherhood of God, the friendship of the Spirit, the sovereignty of righteousness, the law of love, and glory of service, the coming of the kingdom, the eternal hope—there never was an interpretation of life to compare with that.

Harry Emerson Fosdick


This Day's Verse

How do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?  For the length of your lives is as uncertain as the morning fog—now you see it; soon it is gone.

James 4:14
The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

My advice to you is, take a house next door to the Physician, for it will be very singular if you should prove to be the very first He ever turned away unhealed.

Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

There is a City of God, and its Founder has inspired us with a love which makes us covet its citizenship.

Augustine


This Day's Verse

The Lord preserves the faithful

Psalm 31:23
The English Standard Version


This Day's Reprise

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator.  If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.  If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.  But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

This Day's Thought

The truest end of life is to know that life never ends.  Death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

This Day's Thought

God cares about how you use your time because that time is a gift from Him.  It is yours to redeem, commit, waste, or even steal.  How are you treating your gift?

Unknown


This Day's Verse

So Christ has truly set us free.  Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

This Day's Thought

If Christ had paid 99.9% of the debt of sin, not one of us would have a chance at heaven.

Charles Swindoll


This Day's Verse

The world ignores us, but we are known to God; we live close to death, but here we are, still very much alive.  We have been injured but kept from death.  Our hearts ache, but at the same time we have the joy of the Lord.  We are poor, but we give rich spiritual gifts to others.  We own nothing, and yet we enjoy everything.

2 Corinthians 6:9-10
The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

Once I sought a time and place for solitude and prayer; but now where’er I find thy face I find a closet there.

This Day's Thought

That which is often asked of God is not so much His will and way, as His approval of our way.

Sarah F. Smiley


This Day's Verse

So we can plainly see that God’s method changed, for Christ, the new High Priest who came with the rank of Melchizedek, did not become a priest by meeting the old requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi, but on the basis of power flowing from a life that cannot end.

Hebrews 7:15-16
The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

When obstacles and trials seem
Like prison-walls to be,
I do the little I can do,
And leave the rest to Thee.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday


This Day's Thought

The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections.  Every time a man finds his heart is troubled, that he is not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow; a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.

George MacDonald


This Day's Verse

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.

Psalm 37:7
The New Living Translation


This Day's Reprise

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn’t be a great moral teacher.  He’d be either a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he’s a poached egg—or else he’d be the devil of hell.  You must make your choice.  Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.  You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.  But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher.  He hasn’t left that open to us.  He didn’t intend to.

C. S. Lewis
