This Day's Thought

How shall we fear God unless we know that all our welfare lies in Him?

John Calvin


This Day's Verse

“Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

Haggai 2:4
The New International Version


This Day's Reprise

Prayer shouldn’t be casual or sporadic, dictated only by the needs of the moment.  Prayer should be as much a part of our lives as breathing.

Billy Graham

This Day's Thought

To pray is to desire; but it is to desire what God would have us desire.  He who desires not from the bottom of his heart, offers a deceitful prayer.

François Fénelon


This Day's Verse

I have taught you the way of wisdom; I have led you in the paths of uprightness.

Proverbs 4:11
The English Standard Version


This Day's Smile

It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults.  If you are angry with a man, or hate him, it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words; but so to love a man that you cannot bear to see the stain of sin upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.  But few have such friends.  Our enemies usually teach us what we are at the point of the sword.

This Day's Thought

That piety which sanctifies us, and which is a true devotion to God, consists in doing all His will precisely at the time, in the situation, and under the circumstances, in which He has placed us.  Perfect devotedness requires not only that we do the will of God, but that we do it with love.  God would have us serve Him with delight; it is our hearts that He asks of us.

François Fénelon


This Day's Verse

Even if we believe that it makes no difference to the Lord whether we do these things, still we cannot just go ahead and do them to please ourselves; for we must bear the “burden” of being considerate of the doubts and fears of others—of those who feel these things are wrong.  Let’s please the other fellow, not ourselves, and do what is for his good and thus build him up in the Lord.  Christ didn’t please himself.  As the Psalmist said, “He came for the very purpose of suffering under the insults of those who were against the Lord.”  These things that were written in the Scriptures so long ago are to teach us patience and to encourage us so that we will look forward expectantly to the time when God will conquer sin and death.

Romans 15:1-4
The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

Prayer is the soul getting into contact with the God in whom it believes.

This Day's Thought

It is not by change of circumstances, but by fitting our spirits to the circumstances in which God has placed us, that we can be reconciled to life and duty.

Frederick W. Robertson


This Day's Verse

If I ride the morning winds to the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, your strength will support me.

Psalm 139:9-10
The Living Bible

The best prayer I can imagine is simple: God, help me see things as they really are.

Kate Bowler

“For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

Luke 17:21

This Day's Smile

Lord, we have wandered forth through doubt and sorrow,
And Thou hast made each step an onward one;
And we will ever trust each unknown morrow,—
Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done.

This Day's Thought

Guide me, O Lord, in all the changes and varieties of the world; that in all things that shall happen, I may have an evenness and tranquility of spirit; that my soul may be wholly resigned to Thy divine will and pleasure, never murmuring at Thy gentle chastisements and fatherly correction.  Amen.

Jeremy Taylor


This Day's Verse

“But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15
The New King James Version


This Day's Smile

Faith furnishes prayer with wings, without which it cannot soar to Heaven.

John Climacus
