This Day's Thought

The difference between faith and works is just this: In the case of faith, God does it; in the case of works, we try to do it ourselves; and the difference is measured simply by the distance between the infinite and the finite, the Almighty God and a helpless worm.

Albert Benjamin Simpson

Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Proverbs 2:11
The King James Version

This Day's Thought

There are three kinds of faith in Christ:
1. Struggling faith, like a man in deep water desperately swimming.
2. Clinging faith, like a man hanging to the side of a boat.
3. Resting faith, like a man safely within the boat (and able to reach out with a hand to help someone else get in).

Dwight Lyman Moody

This Day's Verse

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

This Day's Thought

God deserves far more praise than any of us could ever give Him. And God receives little thanks, even for his greatest gifts.

Unknown

This Day's Verse

 “No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”

Luke 11:33-36
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

I do not seek to understand so that I may believe, but I believe so that I may understand.

Anselm of Canterbury

This Day's Thought

Human beings judge one another by their external actions. God judges them by their moral choices.

C. S. Lewis

This Day's Verse

My child, don’t lose sight of common sense and discernment. Hang on to them, for they will refresh your soul.

Proverbs 3:21
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

The atheist who seriously studies religion in order to attack it is closer to the spirit of God than the bovine believer who supports religion because it is comfortable, respectable, and offers consolation without thought.

This Day's Thought

Jesus is moved to happiness every time He sees that you appreciate what He has done for you. Grip His pierced hand and say to Him, “I thank Thee, Savior, because Thou hast died for me.” Thank Him likewise for all the other blessings He has showered upon you from day to day. It brings joy to Jesus.

Ole Hallesby

This Day's Verse

Let your unfailing love surround us, LORD, for our hope is in you alone.

Psalm 33:22
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves all of us not to talk about the rest of us.
