This Day's Thought

When our lives are focused on God, awe and wonder lead us to worship God, filling our inner being with a fullness we would never have thought possible. Awe prepares the way in us for the power of God to transform us and this transformation of our inner attitudes can only take place when awe leads us in turn to wonder, admiration, reverence, surrender, and obedience toward God.

James M. Houston

This Day's Verse

Claiming themselves to be wise without God, they became utter fools instead.

Romans 1:22
The Living Bible

This Day's Reprise

A Christian should be a striking likeness of Jesus Christ. You have read lives of Christ, beautifully written; but the best life of Christ is His living biography, written out in the words and action of His people.

Charles H. Spurgeon

This Day's Thought

All the wisdom in the world and all human cleverness compared with the infinite wisdom of God is sheer and extreme ignorance.

John of the Cross

This Day's Verse

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin!

Psalm 51:1-2
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Worship is a way of living, a way of seeing the world in the light of God. To worship is to rise to a higher level of existence, to see the world from the point of view of God.

This Day's Thought

In the West you have another kind of poverty, spiritual poverty. This is far worse. People do not believe in God, do not pray. People do not care for each other. You have the poverty of people who are dissatisfied with what they have, who do not know how to suffer, who give in to despair. This poverty of heart is often more difficult to relieve and to defeat.

Mother Teresa

This Day's Verse

The wise of heart is called a man of discernment, and pleasant speech increases persuasiveness.

Proverbs 16:21
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

We can thank God for everything good, and all the rest we don’t comprehend yet.

This Day's Thought

God intends even our thoughts to set forward the sanctification of our souls, and it rests with ourselves whether they do so or not.

François Fénelon

The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.

Ecclesiastes 10:2
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

Too many people regard religion as a trolley car on which they ride only as long as it is going their way.

This Day's Thought

Just as anyone who climbs a rotten ladder risks his life, so are honors and power a danger for humility.

John Climacus

This Day's Verse

Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.

Proverbs 23:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Bitterness imprisons life; love releases it.
Bitterness paralyzes life; love empowers it.
Bitterness sours life; love sweetens it.
Bitterness sickens life; love heals it.
Bitterness blinds life; love anoints its eyes.

This Day's Thought

I once picked up a small girl who was wandering the streets, lost. Hunger was written all over her face. Who knows how long it had been since she had eaten anything! I offered her a piece of bread. The little one started eating, crumb by crumb. I told her, “Eat, eat the bread! Aren’t you hungry?” She looked at me and said, “I am just afraid that when I run out of bread, I’ll still be hungry.”

Mother Teresa

This Day's Verse

In everything the prudent acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.

Proverbs 13:16
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings.

Phillips Brooks
