Sorrow is only one of the lower notes in the oratorio of our blessedness.

Adoniram J. Gordon

This Day's Verse

“However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says: ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me? says the Lord, Or what is the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?’”

This Day's Thought

We are persons in transition. There is more of life before us, and we are God’s agents to each other in encouragement and development. Even in aging we need not cease to grow in different areas of life.

Myron Augsburger

This Day's Verse

Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 117
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

I am happy in having learned to distinguish between ownership and possession. Books, pictures, and all the beauty of the world belong to those who love and understand them—not usually to those who possess them. All of those things that I am entitled to have I have—I own by divine right. So I care not about who possesses them.

This Day's Thought

That is not the best sermon which makes the hearers go away talking to one another, and praising the speaker, but which makes them go away thoughtful and serious, and hastening to be alone.

This Day's Thought

The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlights of affliction.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

This Day's Verse

“Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree bad, and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers! how can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil man out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Matthew 12:33-37
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

You are not a reservoir with a limited amount of resources; you are a channel attached to unlimited divine resources.

This Day's Thought

While a man rests on his own merits for acceptance with God, it is of little consequence whether he be a pagan idolator, or a proud, ignorant Pharisee. I know not which of the two is most distant from the kingdom of God.
