This Day's Smile

Can you hear the sighing in the wind? Can you feel the heavy silence in the mountains? Can you sense the restless longing in the sea? Can you see it in the woeful eyes of an animal? Something’s coming… something better.

This Day's Thought

As white snow flakes fall quietly and thickly on a winter day, answers to prayer will settle down upon you at every step you take, even to your dying day. The story of your life will be the story of prayer and answers to prayer.

Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.

This Day's Thought

A great many people are always ready to pray when the devil gets them into trouble; but when they get out of trouble they soon forget God.

Unknown

This Day's Verse

When I am with those whose consciences bother them easily, I don’t act as though I know it all and don’t say they are foolish; the result is that they are willing to let me help them. Yes, whatever a person is like, I try to find common ground with him so that he will let me tell him about Christ and let Christ save him. I do this to get the Gospel to them and also for the blessing I myself receive when I see them come to Christ.

1 Corinthians 9:22-23
The Living Bible

This Day's Reprise

When a man told the clergyman he disapproved of organized religion, the latter assured him that his was the most disorganized one available.

This Day's Thought

God, who is liberal in all his other gifts, shows us, by the wise economy of his providence, how circumspect we ought to be in the management of our time, for he never gives us two moments together.

François de Fénelon

Many peoples shall come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.”

Isaiah 2:3
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

There are four ways God answers prayer: No, not yet; No, I love you too much; Yes, I thought you’d never ask; Yes, and here’s more.

This Day's Thought

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor’s door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

E. M. Bounds

This Day's Verse

The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Nahum 1:3
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

In Jesus the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
