This Day's Thought

We see different persons exercised with different kinds of crosses. But whilst the heavenly Physician, consulting the health of all His patients, practises a milder treatment towards some, and cures others with rougher remedies, yet He leaves no one completely exempted, because He knows we are all diseased, without the exception of a single individual.

John Calvin

This Day's Verse

1 Chronicles 28:20
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Thought

The best of men are still sinners. If we take pride in the “greats” of this world, we have a warped view of God’s values. He chooses the base, the lowly, and the unknown.

Erwin W. Lutzer

Haggai 2:4-5

This Day's Thought

Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God’s most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.

Charles Stanley

This Day's Verse

But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

Psalm 94:22
The Revised Standard Version

You can’t tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.

Faith is a living and unshakeable confidence, a belief in the grace of God, so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.  This makes us joyful, high-spirited and eager in our relations with God and with all mankind.

Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
