This Day's Thought

Meditation is different from studying. By study, truth is explored; by meditation it is felt. By the one, things different are discriminated; by the other, what is known is loved and embraced. The design of secret meditation is not so much to accumulate knowledge, or to please ourselves, as to enlarge the desires of the soul and to elevate the affections.

David Sturrock

This Day's Verse

“‘And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’”

Acts 2:21
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.

This Day's Thought

For the Christian, Jesus is the Way. All things are measured by his Way: by his healing grace, his call to forgiveness and purity of heart, nonviolence and a concern for justice; by his relinquishment of earthly power and dominance; affirmation of agape (friendship and self-giving Love) as a new basis for kinship, of change of heart as the requirement for righteousness, and of the transcendent power of suffering.

Madonna Kolbenschlag

This Day's Verse

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

Psalm 145:18
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Sometime near a century ago the advice was given to young preachers: “When you go to the city to preach, take your best coat; when you go to the country, take your best sermon.”

This Day's Thought

Love, proceeding from faith, gradually changes the soul, into the likeness of God; and the more it is in exercise the more is that change effected.

John Owen

This Day's Verse

Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”

Jeremiah 9:23-24
The English Standard Version

This Day's Thought

Our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people as we have already thought they should be helped.  In that case, we are asking God to do it our way.
