This Day's Thought

Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.

William Penn

This Day's Verse

At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head.  Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.  The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”  In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

Job 1:20-22
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

This is the very perfection of a man, to find out his own imperfections.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

Be patient with every one, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disturbed because of your imperfections, and always rise up bravely from a fall.  I am glad that you make a daily new beginning.  There is no better means of progress in the spiritual life than to be continually beginning afresh, and never to think that we have done enough.

Francis de Sales

This Day's Verse

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!  Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

The morning is the gate of the day, and should be well guarded with prayer.  It is one end of the thread on which the day’s actions are strung, and should be well knotted with devotion.  If we felt more the majesty of life we should be more careful of its mornings.  He who rushes from his bed to his business and without worship is as foolish as though he had not put on his clothes, or washed his face, and as unwise as though he dashed into battle without arms or armor.

C. H. Spurgeon

This Day's Thought

A Christian is one who has the spirit of Christ.  That is the only theology.

Albert Schweitzer

This Day's Verse

And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Deuteronomy 31:8
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

There are two times to praise the Lord: When you feel like it, and when you don’t feel like it.

This Day's Thought

If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.  It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us.

A. W. Tozer

This Day's Verse

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.

Psalm 63:3
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

If thou wouldst preserve a sound body, use fasting and walking; if a healthful soul, fasting and prayer.  Walking exercises the body; praying exercises the soul; fasting cleanses both.

This Day's Thought

How God rejoices over a soul, which, surrounded on all sides by suffering and misery, does that upon earth which the angels do in heaven—namely, loves, adores, and praises God!

Gerhardt Tersteegen

This Day's Verse

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.  And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 4:31-32
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Disregard the study of God and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life, blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you.

This Day's Thought

I must practice unlimited forgiveness because, if I did not, I should be wanting in veracity to myself, for it would be acting as if I myself were not guilty in the same way as the other has been guilty towards me.

Albert Schweitzer

This Day's Verse

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.  I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

Psalm 9:1-2
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

God is stripping me of everything to give me Everything.
