This Day's Thought

If heaven be such a blessed world, then let this be our chosen country, and the inheritance we seek.

Jonathan Edwards

This Day's Verse

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Matthew 6:25
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

I choose gentleness…nothing is won by force.  I choose to be gentle.  If I raise my voice may it be only in praise.  If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer.  If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

This Day's Thought

The Holy Spirit not only originates faith, but increases it by degrees, till He conducts us by it all the way to the heavenly kingdom.

Oscar Cullmann

This Day's Verse

“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?  Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,”

1 Samuel 15:22
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Christ gives us what is plain for food; what is more obscure for exercise.

This Day's Thought

How does our will become sanctified?  By conforming itself unreservedly to that of God.  We will all that He wills, and will nothing that He does not will; we attach our feeble will to that all-powerful will which performs everything.  Thus, nothing can ever come to pass against this will; for nothing can happen save that which God wills, and we find in His good pleasure an inexhaustible source of peace and consolation.

François Fénelon

This Day's Verse

Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;

Ecclesiastes 9:10
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

In the name of Jesus Christ who was never in a hurry, we pray, O God, that You will slow us down, for we know that we live too fast.  With all eternity before us, make us take time to live—time to get acquainted with You, time to enjoy Your blessing, and time to know each other.

This Day's Thought

I am never better than when I am on the full stretch for God.

George Whitefield

This Day's Verse

On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus.  “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”   “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”  He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’”  “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied.  “Do this and you will live.”

Luke 10:25-28
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

When men seek to comprehend the power of God, it is like a fly attempting to devour all the mountains.

John Calvin

This Day's Thought

There is a City of God, and its Founder has inspired us with a love which makes us covet its citizenship.

Augustine

This Day's Verse

The Lord preserves the faithful

Psalm 31:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator.  If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.  If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.  But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

This Day's Thought

Happy is the sadness of the faithful, which has such joy with it, and unhappy is the joy of unbelievers, which has such sadness with it.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

Man’s goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?

Proverbs 20:24
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

This Day's Thought

Be patient with every one, but above all with yourself. I mean, do not be disturbed because of your imperfections, and always rise up bravely from a fall.  I am glad that you make a daily new beginning.  There is no better means of progress in the spiritual life than to be continually beginning afresh, and never to think that we have done enough.

Francis de Sales

This Day's Verse

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.  Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!  Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

The morning is the gate of the day, and should be well guarded with prayer.  It is one end of the thread on which the day’s actions are strung, and should be well knotted with devotion.  If we felt more the majesty of life we should be more careful of its mornings.  He who rushes from his bed to his business and without worship is as foolish as though he had not put on his clothes, or washed his face, and as unwise as though he dashed into battle without arms or armor.

C. H. Spurgeon
