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

This Day's Smile

My temptations have been my masters in divinity.

Martin Luther

This Day's Thought

I think Christians fail so often to get answers to their prayers because they do not wait long enough on God. They just drop down and say a few words, and then jump up and forget it and expect God to answer them. Such praying always reminds me of the small boy ringing his neighbor’s door-bell, and then running away as fast as he can go.

E. M. Bounds

This Day's Verse

The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty. His way is in whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

Nahum 1:3
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

In Jesus the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This Day's Thought

None but a theology that came out of eternity can carry you and me safely to and through eternity.

Theodore Ledyard Cuyler

This Day's Verse

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!

Psalm 133:1
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

What time is it?
Time to do well,
Time to live better,
Give up that grudge,
Answer that letter,
Speak the kind word to sweeten a sorrow,
Do that kind deed you would leave ‘till tomorrow.

This Day's Thought

As to all that we have and are, we are but stewards of the Most High God. On all our possessions, on our time, and talents, and influence, and property, he has written, “Occupy for me, and till I shall come.” To obey his instructions and serve him faithfully, is the true test of obedience and discipleship.

Charles Simmons

This Day's Verse

But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness,

2 Timothy 2:16
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

Temperance is to the body what religion is to the soul—the foundation of health, strength and peace.

This Day's Thought

What do we mean by “success” anyway? Success by whose standards? The Bible teaches that God is the final Judge before whom we shall all stand one day. God will then proclaim us successful or unsuccessful.

Bill Krisher

This Day's Verse

People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.

Proverbs 28:13
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

Duty and today are ours; results and the future belong to God.

This Day's Thought

So long as we are full of self we are shocked at the faults of others. Let us think often of our own sin, and we shall be lenient to the sins of others.

François de Fénelon

This Day's Verse

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:20
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

Not until each loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the pattern
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
For the pattern which He planned.

This Day's Thought

God had given me this lesson that I could still be imperfect and be loved. That’s how God loves us. We humans are terrible at loving one another. We’re terrible at keeping peace. We’re terrible at running the world and using our free will but for some reason God loves us all anyway.

Monica Clare

This Day's Verse

“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!”

Amos 5:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Let your old age be childlike, and your childhood like old age; that is, so that neither may your wisdom be with pride, nor your humility without wisdom.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

Whoever is spared personal pain must feel himself called to help in diminishing the pain of others. We must all carry our share of the misery which lies upon the world.

This Day's Verse

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!

Psalm 118:29
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Faith is the ear of the soul.

This Day's Thought

Temptation succeeds best in corrupting the over-zealous Christian or the underachieving Christian. It has far less success with the Christian who maintains a simple, practical, and even-tempered faith.

Harvey F. Egan

This Day's Verse

Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all sins.

Proverbs 10:12
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Each of us is a mixture of dust and deity.

There is no hiding place from that which the hand of God presents to us.

Dolores Hart

This Day's Verse

Let the trees of the forest sing, let them sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth.

1 Chronicles 16:33
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The first thing I ask is that people should not make use of my name, and should not call themselves Lutherans but Christians. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine. Nor was I crucified for anyone…How did I, poor stinking bag of maggots that I am, come to the point where people call the children of Christ by my evil name?
