This Day's Thought

Though faith may act more easily when it has some help from sense, yet it acts most nobly when it acts in opposition to sense.  Then it is pure faith when it stands upon its own legs—the power and Word of God.

Thomas Boston

This Day's Verse

“He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.”

Luke 16:10
The Revised Standard Version

Hebrews 7:15-16
The Living Bible

Like prison-walls to be,

This Day's Thought

We are never without help.  We have no right to say of any good work, “it is too hard for me to do,” or of any sorrow, “it is too hard for me to bear;” or of any sinful habit, “it is too hard for me to overcome.”

Elizabeth Charles

Wiser it were to welcome and make ours
What’er of good, though small, the Present brings,—
Kind greetings, sunshine, songs of birds, and flowers,
With a child’s pure delight in little things.
