Sin

This Day’s Thought-Friday

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.

John Calvin

This Day's Thought

You are never to complain of your birth, your training, your employments, your hardships; never to fancy that you could be something if only you had a different lot and sphere assigned you.  God understands His own plan, and He knows what you need a great deal better than you do.  The very things that you most deprecate, as fatal limitations or obstructions, are probably what you most need.  What you call hindrances, obstacles, or discouragements, are probably God’s opportunities.  Bring down your soul, of, rather, bring it up to receive God’s will and do His work, in your lot, in your sphere, under your cloud of obscurity, against your temptations—and then you shall find that your condition is never opposed to your good, but really consistent with it.

Horace Bushnell

This Day's Verse

I am determined not to sin in what I say.

Psalm 17:3
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

There is no use in talking as if forgiveness were easy.  For we find that the work of forgiveness has to be done over and over again.

C. S. Lewis
