This Day's Reprise

A novice monk asked a seasoned old veteran of the abbey, “After you entered the monastery, did you still struggle with the devil?” “No” Answered the older monk. “I struggled with God.” “With God?” Exclaimed his neophyte friend, “How could you hope to win?” The older monk softly replied, “When I struggle with God, I hope to lose.”

This Day's Thought

We don’t give up. We look up. We trust. We believe. And our optimism is not hollow. Christ has proven worthy. He has shown that he never fails. That’s what makes God, God.

The most prevalent failure of Christian love is the failure to express it.

Paul E. Johnson


This Day's Verse

This Day’s Thought-Thursday


This Day's Thought

I only have one life and one chance to use it for something…I am free to choose what that something is, and that something I have chosen is my faith. Now my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands—and this is not optional—that I do all I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as possible and with whatever I have at my disposal to try to make a difference.

Jimmy Carter


This Day's Verse

The Lord will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.

Psalm 85:12
The New International Version


This Day's Reprise

We don’t have to worry about how wise or clever we are—God chose the foolish. We don’t have to worry about how powerful we are—God chose the weak. We don’t have to worry about how popular we are, or even whether we’ll amount to anything much—God chose the despised and the ones who were nothing. None of those human measurements counts when it comes to performing great acts in life—great acts as defined by God, acts of humility, obedience, and love.

This Day's Thought

Though time crumbles stone and the story grows old,
Yet The Shepherd we love, still watches His fold;
And His star still shines, over city and mart,
And His voice still speaks to the listening heart.
Our hearts are His birthplace.
Our lives are His home.
Let His work truly be our own.

James Barnes


This Day's Verse

Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to dismiss her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.’ All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel’, which means, ‘God is with us.’ When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus.

Matthew 1:18-25
The New Revised Standard Version


This Day's Smile

God must have said, “I know what I’ll do, I’ll send my LOVE right down there where they are. And I’ll send it as a tiny baby, so they’ll have to touch it, and they’ll have to hold it close.”
