This Day's Thought

I am certain that the Bible is the Word of God. Either it is or it isn’t, and either all of it is the Word of God, or we never can be sure of any of it. It is either absolute or obsolete. If we have to start changing this verse, toning down that, apologizing for this and making allowances for that, we might as well give up, so we must take it as it is or leave it alone.

Vance Havner

This Day's Verse

And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

2 Timothy 2:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

You have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

The amazing thing is that God follows us into the blackened ruins of our failed dreams, our misbegotten mirages, into the house of cards that has collapsed on us in some way and he speaks, not with the chastisement we feel we deserve, but of all things, with tenderness.

Paula Rinehart

This Day's Verse

So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

1 John 4:16
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Too many of us have a Christian vocabulary rather than a Christian experience.

This Day's Thought

The great freedom Jesus gives us is to be ourselves, defined by His love and our inner qualities and gifts rather than by any kind of show we put on for the world.

Leslie Williams

This Day's Verse

For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Luke 12:48
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

I need the opportunity to free my mind of sorrow, personal concerns; to see my world through the mirrored reflection of holiness.  I need a time of prayer to leap beyond what is limiting in me as a person, to rediscover what is important and what is trivial, to take counsel with what my tradition stresses as the living faith.  I need prayer.

This Day's Thought

When we in prayer seek only the glorification of the name of God, then we are in complete harmony with the spirit of prayer. Then our hearts are at rest both while we pray and after we have prayed. Then we can wait for the Lord.

Ole Hallesby

This Day's Verse

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans 8:31-32
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

This Day's Thought

Often we know the lonely and fail to reach out in love. We may be shy or find it hard to show love. We may feel that we are being insincere if we try. Then let us accept ourselves as we are—God’s imperfect instruments—and pray that he will use us despite our shortcomings.

Mother Teresa

This Day's Verse

O my Strength, I will sing praises to thee; for thou, O God, art my fortress.

Psalm 59:9
The Revised Standard Version

At the root of the Christian life lies belief in the invisible. The object of the Christian’s faith is unseen reality.
