This Day's Thought

Our Saviour’s words are not of a nature to be heard once and no more, but that to understand them we must feed upon them, and live in them, as if by little and little growing into their meaning.

John Henry Newman

This Day's Verse

Praise be to the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds. Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.

Psalm 72:18-19

The future is as bright as the promises of God.

This Day's Thought

Because God is the living God, he can hear; because he is a loving God, he will hear; because he is our covenant God, he has bound himself to hear.

This Day's Thought

I this day [June 28, 1788] enter on my eighty-sixth year; and what cause have I to praise God, as for a thousand spiritual blessings, so for bodily blessings also! How little have I suffered yet by “the rush of numerous years”! To what cause can I impute this, that I am as I am? First, doubtless, to the power of God, fitting me for the work to which I am called, as long as he pleases to continue me therein; and next, subordinately to this, to the prayers of his children.
May we not impute it, as inferior means:
-To my constant exercise and change of air?
-To my never having lost a night’s sleep, sick or well, at land or at sea, since I was born?
-To my having sleep at command, so that whenever I feel myself almost worn out, I call it, and it comes, day or night?
-To my having constantly, for above sixty years, risen at four in the morning?
-To my constant preaching at five in the morning, for above fifty years?
-To my having had so little pain in my life, and so little sorrow, or anxious care?

John Wesley

This Day's Verse

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

1 Timothy 6:6
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

For many years, I was a man riding an ox, looking for an ox to ride on.

This Day's Thought

The life of holiness is the life of faith in which the believer, with a deepening knowledge of his own sin and helplessness apart from Christ, increasingly casts himself upon the Lord, and seeks the power of the Spirit and the wisdom and comfort of the Bible to battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Edmund P. Clowney

This Day's Verse

O God, my heart is ready to praise you! I will sing and rejoice before you.

Psalm 108:1
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

Take heed, O poor man, that if your flesh is mortal, your soul is precious and everlasting. If you lack money, you do not lack grace; and if you have no spacious house nor wide acres, the heavens spread above you, the earth is free.

Ambrose of Milan

This Day's Thought

Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not. He may be a blot radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference of society, or he may be a blessing spreading benediction over the length and breadth of the world. But a blank he cannot be: there are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters.

Thomas Chalmers

This Day's Verse

Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, who greatly delights in his commandments!

Psalm 112:1
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

He prays well who is so absorbed with God that he does not know he is praying.

Francis de Sales

Nothing great ought to be ventured on without preparation; but, above all, how sottish is it to engage extempore where the concern is eternity!

Robert South

This Day's Verse

The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.

Psalm 126:3
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Since you are tempted without ceasing, pray without ceasing.

C. H. Spurgeon

This Day's Thought

When thou receivest praise, take it indifferently, and return it to God, the giver of the gift, or blesser of the action.

Jeremy Taylor

This Day's Verse

“Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’”

Isaiah 58:9
The New King James Version

The higher the truth, the simpler it is.

This Day's Thought

Ministers are not professional holy men or women, but representatives of the people of God. They are samples of what it means to open up one’s heart to Christ, and let his work be done within one’s life. Ministers are examples of God’s work in progress—not the finished products.

Colbert S. Cartwright

This Day's Verse

“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 1:8
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

If you find yourself wearing a spirit of heaviness, replace it with a garment of praise.

Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

Henry Ward Beecher

This Day's Verse

Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

Psalm 115:1
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Every time we pray our horizon is altered, our attitude to things is altered, not sometimes but every time, and the amazing thing is that we don’t pray more.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Thought

We are persons in transition. There is more of life before us, and we are God’s agents to each other in encouragement and development. Even in aging we need not cease to grow in different areas of life.

Myron Augsburger

This Day's Verse

Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 117
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

I am happy in having learned to distinguish between ownership and possession. Books, pictures, and all the beauty of the world belong to those who love and understand them—not usually to those who possess them. All of those things that I am entitled to have I have—I own by divine right. So I care not about who possesses them.
