This Day's Thought

By salvation I mean a present deliverance from sin, a restoration of the soul to its primitive health, its original purity, a recovery of the divine nature.

John Wesley


This Day's Verse

God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:9
The King James Version


This Day's Smile

The real issue in life is not how many blessings we have, but what we do with our blessings. Some people have many blessings and hoard them. Some have few and give everything away.

Love God, serve God; everything is in that.

Clare of Assisi


This Day's Verse

Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. And may he so strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 3:11-13
The New Revised Standard Version

Salvation is not putting a man into Heaven, but putting Heaven into man.

This Day's Thought

Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.

Blaise Pascal


This Day's Verse

“The LORD lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,”

2 Samuel 22:47
The English Standard Version


This Day's Smile

A traveler in an outlying community was being shown the small but beautiful church erected at a cost of much time and sacrifice on the part of the people. He expressed amazement that it should be so beautifully and completely equipped with electric lights, as he had not known that electricity was available in the district. “It looks beautiful,” he was informed, “but we have no connection with the power.” How true this is of many so-called Christians! Their work looks beautiful, but because they have no connection with the only source of real power, they are useless and unjustified in the sight of God, who looketh not on the outward appearance.

This Day's Thought

Prayer is the most perfect and most divine action that a rational soul is capable of. It is of all actions and duties the most indispensably necessary.

Augustine


This Day's Verse

And He shall be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.

Isaiah 33:6
The New American Standard Bible


This Day's Reprise

When God is about to do something great, he starts with a difficulty. When he is about to do something truly magnificent, he starts with an impossibility.

He is a good time-server that improves the present for God’s glory and his own salvation.

For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

This Day's Thought

Most Christians understand that salvation comes by faith, apart from feelings. But they think that the Spirit-controlled life requires some type of mystical experience—a feeling, a surge of power, or being overcome by waves of love. Those experiences are usually not around when you need them. What you need is spiritual power, independent of feelings, experiences, or circumstances. That comes when we give each day to God and anticipate his blessing.

Erwin W. Lutzer


This Day's Verse

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.

Psalm 1:1-3
The New International Version


This Day's Reprise

The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for him.

This Day's Thought

No passion or affection, with which we are born, can be in itself sinful; it becomes so, only by wilful or careless indulgence.

Jonathan Mayhew


This Day's Verse

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

2 Corinthians 5:17
The New King James Version


This Day's Reprise

I find my Lord going and coming seven times a day.  His visits are short; but they are frequent and sweet.

This Day's Thought

If your father and mother, your sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house, are not happier for your being Christian, it is a question whether you really are.

James Hudson Taylor


This Day's Verse

The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.

Lamentations 3:25-26
The New Revised Standard Version

My temptations have been my masters in divinity.

This Day's Thought

“ME” is always at the bottom of all sin. One little word M-E. It may spell drink, lust, pride, covetousness, self-will; but it is some form of “me.”

Unknown


This Day's Verse

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

Psalm 51:12
The New King James Version


This Day's Reprise

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shapes of pains, losses, and disappointments; but let us have patience, and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.

This Day's Thought

We can enter into the truth only by love.

Blaise Pascal


This Day's Verse

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Romans 13:11-14
The English Standard Version


This Day's Reprise

One Sunday I was entertained in a farm home of a member of a rural church. I was impressed by the intelligence and unusually good behavior of the only child in the home, a little four-year-old boy. Then I discovered one reason for the child’s charm. The mother was at the kitchen sink, washing the intricate parts of the cream separator when the little fellow came to her with a magazine. “Mother,” he asked, “what is this man in the picture doing?” To my surprise she dried her hands, sat down on a chair and taking the boy in her lap she spent ten minutes answering his questions. After the child had left I commented on her having interrupted her chores to answer the boy’s questions, saying, “Most mothers wouldn’t have bothered.” “I expect to be washing cream separators for the rest of my life,” she told me, “But never again will my son ask me that question!”
