This Day's Thought

What an immense workman is God in miniature as well as in the great! With the one hand, perhaps, He is making a ring of one hundred thousand miles in diameter, to revolve round a planet like Saturn, and with the other is forming a tooth in the ray of the feather of a hummingbird, or a point in the claw of the foot of a microscopic insect. When He works in miniature, everything is gilded, polished, and perfect; but whatever is made by human art, as a needle, etc., when viewed by a microscope appears rough, and coarse, and bungling.

William Law

This Day's Verse

For the LORD is our judge; the LORD is our lawgiver; the LORD is our king; he will save us.

Isaiah 33:22
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

My weight is my love.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

Let us always bear about us such impressions of reverence, and fear of God, that we may humble ourselves before his almightiness, and express that infinite distance between his infiniteness and our weaknesses.

Jeremy Taylor

This Day's Verse

“Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith.”

Habakkuk 2:4
The New American Standard Bible

We are generally the better persuaded by the reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others.

This Day's Thought

To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.

Thomas Aquinas

This Day's Verse

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

1 John 2:15-17
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

The future is purchased by the present.

This Day's Thought

There is a virtuous fear, which is the effect of faith; and there is a vicious fear, which is the product of doubt. The former leads to hope, as relying on God, in whom we believe; the latter inclines to despair, as not relying on God, in whom we do not believe. Persons of the one character fear to lose God; persons of the other character fear to find him.

Blaise Pascal

This Day's Verse

Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret for long ages but is now disclosed and through the prophetic writings is made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—to the only wise God be glory for evermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.

Romans 16:25-27
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Forgiveness is not an emotion, it’s a decision.

This Day's Thought

God takes men’s hearty desires and will, instead of the deed, when they have not power to fulfill it; but he never took the bare deed instead of the will.

Richard Baxter

This Day's Verse

Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed.

Ecclesiastes 8:1
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

I am.
Sincerely yours, G. K. Chesterton

This Day's Thought

Unto them that love him, God causeth all things to work for the best. So that with Him, by the heavenly light of steadfast faith, they see lite even in death; with Him, even in heaviness and sorrow, they fail not of joy and comfort; with Him, even in poverty, affliction, and trouble, they neither perish nor are forsaken.

Myles Coverdale

This Day's Verse

But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.

Psalm 68:3
The King James Version

The way to worry about nothing is to pray about everything.

To worship God, to study his will, to meditate upon him, and to love him; all these bring pleasure and peace.

When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. “I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go

What is Christian perfection? The loving God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. This implies that no wrong temper, none contrary to love, remains in the soul; and that all the thoughts, words, and actions are governed by pure love.

This Day's Thought

Whoever is a hypocrite in his religion mocks God, presenting to him the outside, and reserving the inward for his enemy.
