They tell about a fifteen-year-old boy in an orphans’ home who had an incurable stutter.  One Sunday the minister was detained and the boy volunteered to say the prayer in his stead.  He did it perfectly, too, without a single stutter.  Later he explained, “I don’t stutter when I talk to God.  He loves me.”

This Day's Thought

Not only the adoration of images is idolatry, but also trust in one’s own righteousness, works and merits, and putting confidence in riches and power.  As the latter is the commonest, so it also is the most noxious.

1 Peter 4:19
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Above all knowledge, know Christ.

This Day's Thought

To know Him is to know and have everything.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

“Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me.  Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

Luke 22:42
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

They are idols of hearts and of households;
They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses;
His glory still gleams in their eyes.
Oh those truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild,
And I know now how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.

God alone can put divine truths into the soul…He chooses that they should pass from the heart into the understanding, and not from the understanding into the heart, in order to humble that proud faculty of reason.

Blaise Pascal

For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.  They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.  Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.

Psalm 40:12-13
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Grace means that God already loves us as much as an infinite God can possibly love.
