This Day's Thought

“My peace I give unto you”; it is a peace all over from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet, an irrepressible confidence.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 104:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The story is told of a poor man who plodded along toward home in an Irish town carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon carrying a stranger came along, and the stranger stopped the wagon and invited the man on foot to climb inside. This the poor man did, but when he sat down in the wagon he held the bag of potatoes in his arms. And when it was suggested that he should set it down, he said very warmly: “Sir, I don’t like to trouble you too much. You’re giving me a ride. I’ll carry the potatoes!” Sometimes we think we are doing the Lord a favor when we carry the burden. But the work is His, and the burden is His, and He asks us only to be faithful.

The humblest Christian is the strongest.

Robert Leighton

This Day's Verse

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

Job 22:21
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Fulfillment doesn’t automatically happen as a result of linking up with the “right” person, job, or even ministry.  Fulfillment happens as a result of being in God’s will.

This Day's Thought

That was what I tried to bring to the patients and families I met with.  Hope.  Not for a miracle healing, but that they feel God’s presence whatever the outcome.

Adam Ruiz

This Day's Verse

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Matthew 4:4
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Every contradiction of our will, every little ailment, every petty disappointment, will, if we take it patiently, become a blessing.  So, walking on earth, we may be in heaven.  The ill-tempers of others, the slights and rudeness of the world, ill-health, the daily accidents with which God has mercifully strewed our paths, instead of ruffling or disturbing our peace, may cause His peace to be shed abroad in our hearts abundantly.

This Day's Thought

Where is the foolish person who would think it in his power to commit more than God could forgive.

Francis de Sales

This Day's Verse

“Oh, that we might know the Lord!  Let us press on to know him.  He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”

Hosea 6:3
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

It is rare when injustice, or slights patiently borne, do not leave the heart at the close of the day filled with marvellous joy and peace.

This Day's Thought

Accustom yourself to unreasonableness and injustice.  Abide in peace in the presence of God, who sees all these evils more clearly than you do, and who permits them.  Be content with doing with calmness the little which depends upon yourself, and let all else be to you as if it were not.

François Fénelon

This Day's Verse

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Galatians 6:10
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

If a man wins God’s race, it doesn’t matter where else he loses.  If a man loses God’s race, it matters not where else he may win.

This Day's Thought

It can be easy for us to get discouraged with a no, but if we trust that God is directing our path, then we won’t receive it as a rejection but as a redirection.

Deb Hopper

This Day's Verse

Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Ephesians 5:20
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

I rest beneath the Almighty’s shade,
My griefs expire, my troubles cease;
Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stayed,
Wilt keep me still in perfect peace.

Charles Wesley
