This Day's Thought

Pure wisdom always directs itself towards God; the purest wisdom is knowledge of God.

Lew Wallace

This Day's Verse

He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

1 John 2:9-11
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Wonder is the basis of Worship.

This Day's Thought

Jesus did not finish all the urgent tasks in Palestine or all the things He would have liked to do, but He did finish the work which God gave Him to do. The only alternative to frustration is to be sure that we are doing what God wants. Nothing substitutes for knowing that this day, this hour, in this place, we are doing the will of the Father. Then and only then can we think of all the other unfinished tasks with equanimity, and leave them with God.

Charles E. Hummel

This Day's Verse

These things I command you, that ye love one another.

John 15:17
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

That which is infinite is as much above what is great as it is above what is small. Thus God, being infinitely great, He is as much above kings as He is above beggars; He is as much above the highest angel as He is above the meanest worm.

Jonathan Edwards

In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.

This Day's Thought

Can anyone think of believing in God without trusting Him? Is it possible to trust in God for the big things like forgiveness and eternal life, and then refuse to trust Him for the little things like clothing and food?

This Day's Verse

And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Romans 5:5
The New International Version

This Day's Thought

Love is itself the fulfillment of all our works. There is the goal; that is why we run: we run toward it, and once we reach it, in it we shall find rest.

Augustine

This Day's Verse

And “don’t sin by letting anger control you.” Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.

Ephesians 4:26-27
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit.

This Day's Thought

Just as anyone who climbs a rotten ladder risks his life, so are honors and power a danger for humility.

John Climacus

This Day's Verse

Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Proverbs 23:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it.
Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it.
Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it.
Bitterness sickens life; love heals it.
Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

This Day's Thought

Sin is not exhausted in describing individual acts which aren’t very nice. “Sin” is fundamentally a description of our entire situation, one of separation from God, alienation from him, arising out of our rebellion, our refusal to do his will, our insistence upon following our own wills.

John Stott

This Day's Verse

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love.

2 John 1:6
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Lord, the Scripture says: “There is a time for silence and a time for speech.” Saviour, teach me the silence of humility, the silence of wisdom, the silence of love, the silence of perfection, the silence that speaks without words, the silence of faith. Lord, teach me to silence my own heart that I may listen to the gentle movement of the Holy Spirit within me and sense the depths which are of God.

If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

Proverbs 25:21-22
