This Day's Thought

What an immense workman is God in miniature as well as in the great! With the one hand, perhaps, He is making a ring of one hundred thousand miles in diameter, to revolve round a planet like Saturn, and with the other is forming a tooth in the ray of the feather of a hummingbird, or a point in the claw of the foot of a microscopic insect. When He works in miniature, everything is gilded, polished, and perfect; but whatever is made by human art, as a needle, etc., when viewed by a microscope appears rough, and coarse, and bungling.

William Law

This Day's Verse

For the LORD is our judge; the LORD is our lawgiver; the LORD is our king; he will save us.

Isaiah 33:22
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

My weight is my love.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

What is Christian perfection? The loving God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. This implies that no wrong temper, none contrary to love, remains in the soul; and that all the thoughts, words, and actions are governed by pure love.

John Wesley

This Day's Verse

“How blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who takes hold of it; Who keeps from profaning the sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

Isaiah 56:2
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Reprise

When a Christian is in the wrong place, his right place is empty.

This Day's Thought

Fear. His modus operandi is to manipulate you with the mysterious, to taunt you with the unknown. Fear of death, fear of failure, fear of God, fear of tomorrow—his arsenal is vast. His goal? To create cowardly, joyless souls. He doesn’t want you to make the journey to the mountain. He figures if he can rattle you enough, you will take your eyes off the peaks and settle for a dull existence in the flatlands.

Max Lucado

This Day's Verse

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

1 Corinthians 13:4
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Be thankful that God’s answers are wiser than your answers.

This Day's Thought

The Christian has a deep, silent, hidden peace, which the world sees not, like some well in a retired and shady place. What he is when left to himself and to his God, that is his true life.

John Henry Newman

This Day's Verse

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Authentic religion is not a theology test.  It’s a love test.

This Day's Thought

Each of us takes his place in the center of his own world. But I am not the center of the world, or the standard of reference as between good and bad; I am not, and God is. In other words, from the beginning I put myself in God’s place. This is my original sin.

William Temple

This Day's Verse

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

Job 5:17-18
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

The love of Christ becomes the mightiest force in the world to the man who is yielded to it.

This Day's Thought

It is for the sake of man, not of God, that worship and prayers are required; that man may be made better—that he may be confirmed in a proper sense of his dependent state, and acquire those pious and virtuous dispositions in which his highest improvement consists.

Hugh Blair

This Day's Verse

A man’s pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.

Proverbs 29:23
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Reprise

There is a wealth of unexpressed love in the world. It is one of the chief causes of sorrow evoked by death: what might have been said or might have been done that never can be said or done.

This Day's Thought

God had given me this lesson that I could still be imperfect and be loved. That’s how God loves us. We humans are terrible at loving one another. We’re terrible at keeping peace. We’re terrible at running the world and using our free will but for some reason God loves us all anyway.

Monica Clare

This Day's Verse

“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”

Amos 5:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Let your old age be childlike, and your childhood like old age; that is, so that neither may your wisdom be with pride, nor your humility without wisdom.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

Temptation succeeds best in corrupting the over-zealous Christian or the underachieving Christian. It has far less success with the Christian who maintains a simple, practical, and even-tempered faith.

Harvey F. Egan

This Day's Verse

Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.

Proverbs 10:12
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Each of us is a mixture of dust and deity.

This Day's Thought

The body, that is but dust; the soul, it is a bud of eternity.

Nathaniel Culverwell

This Day's Verse

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Colossians 1:13-14
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Love is the one business in which it pays to be an absolute spendthrift: give it away; throw it away; splash it over; empty your pockets; shake the basket; and tomorrow you’ll have more than ever.

This Day's Thought

Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.

Peter Marshall

This Day's Verse

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angles, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39
The New American Standard Bible

His visits with the inner man are frequent.
