This Day's Thought

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.

This Day's Thought

He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood.  He who faces no calamity will need no courage.  Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

This Day's Thought

The principal cause of my leanness and unfruitfulness is owing to an unaccountable backwardness to pray.  I can write or read or converse or hear with a ready heart; but prayer is more spiritual and inward than any of these, and the more spiritual any duty is the more my carnal heart is apt to start from it.  Prayer and patience and faith are never disappointed.  When I can find my heart in frame and liberty for prayer, everything else is comparatively easy.

Richard Newton

This Day's Verse

He gives His beloved sleep.

Psalm 127:2
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Don’t fight with God over who is in control.

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?  Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God.

Hebrews 10:9
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

I am filled with shame and confusion, when I reflect on the one hand upon the great favors which God has done, and incessantly continues to do; and on the other, upon the ill use I have made of them, and my small advancement in the way of perfection.

Every moment of resistance to temptation is a victory.

Psalm 25:7
The King James Version

This Day's Verse

At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head.  Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.  The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”  In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

Job 1:20-22
The New International Version
