This Day's Thought

We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves; The Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

Blessed be the Lord, who daily bears us up; God is our salvation. Selah  Our God is a God of salvation, and to God, the Lord, belong deliverances from death.

Psalm 68:19-20
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The woods are made for the hunters of dreams,
The brooks for the fishers of song;
To the hunters who hunt for the gunless game
The streams and the woods belong.

This Day's Thought

Life is one long joy, because the will of God is always being done in it, and the glory of God always being got from it.

F. W. Faber

This Day's Thought

Meditation is different from studying. By study, truth is explored; by meditation it is felt. By the one, things different are discriminated; by the other, what is known is loved and embraced. The design of secret meditation is not so much to accumulate knowledge, or to please ourselves, as to enlarge the desires of the soul and to elevate the affections.

David Sturrock

This Day's Verse

“‘And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’”

Acts 2:21
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.

This Day's Thought

To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek Him, the greatest adventure; to find Him, the greatest human achievement.

Augustine of Hippo

This Day's Verse

For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.

Psalm 149:4
The King James Version

This Day's Thought

A man is known to his dog by the smell, to his tailor by the coat, to his friend by the smile; each of these know him, but how little or how much depends on the dignity of the intelligence.  That which is truly and indeed characteristic of the man is known only to God.

John Ruskin

This Day's Verse

All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Matthew 10:22
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Christianity is called a spiritual walk.  It’s not a run and it’s not a jog.  It’s a walk you do from day to day and that makes you stable.

A life totally consecrated to God sees all of its tasks as God-appointed.

This Day's Verse

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?  Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Psalm 42:11
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.

This Day's Thought

Little things come daily, hourly, within our reach, and they are not less calculated to set forward our growth in holiness, than are the greater occasions which occur but rarely.  Moreover, fidelity in trifles, and an earnest seeking to please God in little matters, is a test of real devotion and love.  Let your aim be to please our dear Lord perfectly in little things, and to attain a spirit of childlike simplicity and dependence.  In proportion as self-love and self-confidence are weakened, and our will bowed to that of God, so will hindrances disappear, the internal troubles and contests which harassed the soul vanish, and it will be filled with peace and tranquility.

Jean Nicolas Grou

This Day's Verse

And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today.”

Exodus 14:13
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Witnessing for Christ is not something we turn on and off, like a TV set.  Every believer is a witness at all times–either a good one or a bad one.

This Day's Thought

If Christ had paid 99.9% of the debt of sin, not one of us would have a chance at heaven.

Charles Swindoll

This Day's Verse

The world ignores us, but we are known to God; we live close to death, but here we are, still very much alive.  We have been injured but kept from death.  Our hearts ache, but at the same time we have the joy of the Lord.  We are poor, but we give rich spiritual gifts to others.  We own nothing, and yet we enjoy everything.

2 Corinthians 6:9-10
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

Once I sought a time and place for solitude and prayer; but now where’er I find thy face I find a closet there.

This Day's Thought

The dominion of any sinful habit will fearfully estrange us from His presence.  A single consenting act of inward disobedience in thought or will is enough to let fall a cloud between Him and us, and to leave our hearts cheerless and dark.

Henry E. Manning

This Day's Verse

O Lord, be gracious to us; we wait for thee.  Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.

Isaiah 33:2
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The life of the church is not without a resurrection, nay, it is not without many resurrections.

This Day's Thought

The circumstances of her life she could not alter, but she took them to the Lord, and handed them over into His management; and then she believed that He took it, and she left all the responsibility and the worry and anxiety with Him.  As often as the anxieties returned she took them back; and the result was that, although the circumstances remained unchanged, her soul was kept in perfect peace in the midst of them.  And the secret she found so effectual in her outward affairs, she found to be still more effectual in her inward ones, which were in truth even more utterly unmanageable.  She abandoned her whole self to the Lord, with all that she was and all that she had.  Believing that He took that which she had committed to Him, she ceased to fret and worry, and her life became all sunshine in the gladness of belonging to Him.

Hannah Whitall Smith

This Day's Verse

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.  Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him, that glory may dwell in our land.

Psalm 85:8-9
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

My worth to God in public is what I am in private.
