This Day's Thought

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

D. L. Moody

This Day's Verse

“For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

Isaiah 54:10
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

I could not be interested in any man’s religion if his knowledge of God did not bring him more joy, did not brighten his life, did not make him want to carry this joy into every dark corner of the world. I have no understanding of a long-faced Christian. If God is anything, He must be joy.

This Day's Thought

It was a new way of seeing for me.  Always before, I’d looked for God in happy endings.  If the ending wasn’t happy, then God must not be in it.  At last, I came to understand a deeper truth.  Happy endings come and go.  That doesn’t mean God is absent.  It just means you need to learn to see him wherever you are.  If you keep your eyes on him, you will find that everything else changes too.  The larger purpose in all of that is God.  Now I put my faith in him—not in happy endings.  With God, every ending is just a fresh start that draws me ever closer to him.

George Koonce

This Day's Verse

For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.

1 Thessalonians 1:4-5
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.

This Day's Thought

It is the powerful love of Christ which kills the love of sin, and kindles the love of holiness in the soul.

This Day's Thought

When Christ is not known it is impossible to have any understanding in Scripture.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Romans 6:5-11
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

God cannot endure that unfestive, mirthless attitude of ours in which we eat our bread in sorrow, with pretentious, busy haste, or even with shame. Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

1 Samuel 2:8
The New King James Version

All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love.

Without God, life is a monotonous repetition of weeks, months, seasons, years, decades, and generations.

Charles Swindoll

This Day's Verse

“For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

Mark 9:41
The New King James Version

This Day's Thought

Though the Bible urges us on to perfection it gives no encouragement to suppose that perfection is achieved….A man who thinks he is righteous is not righteous…for the reason, primarily, that he is full of spiritual pride, the most deadly form that sin can take.

D. Elton Trueblood

This Day's Verse

A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.

Proverbs 19:11
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

We will have eternity to celebrate the victories, but only a few hours before sunset to win them.

This Day's Thought

Many favors which God gives us ravel out for want of hemming through our unthankfulness; for, though prayer purchases blessings, giving praise keeps the quiet possession of them.

Thomas Fuller

This Day's Verse

“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”

Psalm 50:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Rest and be thankful.
