This Day's Thought

Faith is blind—except upward.  It is blind to impossibilities and deaf to doubt.  It listens only to God.

Samuel Dickey Gordon


This Day's Verse

This Day's Thought

Everyone would have something, such perhaps as we are ashamed to utter.  The proud man would have honor; the covetous man, wealth and abundance; the malicious, revenge on his enemies; the epicure, pleasure and long life; the barren, children; the wanton, beauty; each would be humored in his own desire, though in opposition both to God’s will, and his own good.

Joseph Hall


This Day's Verse

And his name—by faith in his name—has made this man strong whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given the man this perfect health in the presence of you all.

Acts 3:16
The English Standard Version

This Day's Thought

Out of defeat can come the best in human nature.  As Christians face storms of adversity, they may rise with more beauty.  They are like trees that grow on mountain ridges—battered by winds, yet trees in which we find the strongest wood.

Billy Graham


This Day's Verse

Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near.

Revelation 1:3
The Revised Standard Version


This Day's Smile

No man ever served God by doing things to-morrow.  If we honor Christ, and are blessed, it is by the things which we do to-day.

This Day's Thought

Prayer is the most powerful form of energy one can generate.  The influence of prayer on the human mind and body is as demonstrable as that of the secreting glands.  Prayer is a force as real as terrestrial gravity.  It supplies us with a flow of sustaining power in our daily lives.

Alexis Carrel


This Day's Verse

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly, guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones.  Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; prudence will watch over you; and understanding will guard you.  It will save you from the way of evil, from those who speak perversely, who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil; those whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

Proverbs 2:6-15
The New Revised Standard Version


This Day's Smile

Jesus is the Gift.  You are the Reason.

This Day's Thought

Faith is not an easy virtue; but, in the broad world of man’s total voyage through time to eternity, faith is not only a gracious companion, but an essential guide.

Theodore M. Hesburgh

Happy is the man who is always reverent, But he who hardens his heart will fall into calamity.

This Day's Thought

As in nature, as in art, so in grace; it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their lustre.  The more the diamond is cut the brighter it sparkles; and in what seems hard dealing, there God has no end in view but to perfect his people.

Thomas Guthrie


This Day's Verse

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.  Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you.  And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20
The New Living Translation


This Day's Reprise

When the dream planted in our heart is one that God has planted there, a strange happiness flows into us.  At that moment all of the spiritual resources of the universe are released to help us.

The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.

William Barclay


This Day's Verse

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 12:1-2
