This Day's Thought

If you neglect your love to your neighbor, in vain you profess your love to God; for by your love to God, the love to your neighbor is begotten, and by the love to your neighbor, your love to God is nourished.

Francis Quarles

This Day's Verse

You shall give to him freely, and your heart shall not be grudging when you give to him; because for this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all that you undertake.

Deuteronomy 15:10
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

One day a lady criticized D. L. Moody for his methods of evangelism in attempting to win people to the Lord.  Moody’s reply was “I agree with you.  I don’t like the way I do it either.  Tell me, how do you do it?”  The lady replied, “I don’t do it.”  Moody retorted, “Then I like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it.”

D. L. Moody

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

This Day's Thought

He has kept and folded us from ten thousand ills when we did not know it.  In the midst of our security we should have perished every hour, but He sheltered us ‘from the terror by night and from the arrow that flieth by day’ —from the powers of evil that walk in darkness, and from snares of our own evil will.  He has kept us even against ourselves, and saved us even from our own undoing.  Let us read the traces of His hand in all our ways, in all the events, the chances, the changes of this troubled state.  It is He that folds and feeds us, that makes us to go in and out, to be faint or to find pasture, to lie down by the still waters, or to walk by the way that is parched and desert.

Henry E. Manning

This Day's Verse

Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.”

Hebrews 13:5
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, “shake well before using.”  That is what God has to do with some of His people.  He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
