This Day's Thought

If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.  It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us.

A. W. Tozer

This Day's Verse

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.

Psalm 63:3
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

If thou wouldst preserve a sound body, use fasting and walking; if a healthful soul, fasting and prayer.  Walking exercises the body; praying exercises the soul; fasting cleanses both.

This Day's Thought

That was what I tried to bring to the patients and families I met with.  Hope.  Not for a miracle healing, but that they feel God’s presence whatever the outcome.

Adam Ruiz

This Day's Verse

But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Matthew 4:4
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Every contradiction of our will, every little ailment, every petty disappointment, will, if we take it patiently, become a blessing.  So, walking on earth, we may be in heaven.  The ill-tempers of others, the slights and rudeness of the world, ill-health, the daily accidents with which God has mercifully strewed our paths, instead of ruffling or disturbing our peace, may cause His peace to be shed abroad in our hearts abundantly.

This Day's Thought

Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love of goodness or joy worth having.

C. S. Lewis

This Day's Verse

There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?  Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

Psalm 4:6
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at one time to sustain life for a week.  We must draw upon God’s boundless store of grace from day to day as we need it.

This Day's Thought

How is it, then, that the voice of God is not more distinctly heard by men?  The answer to this question is: To be heard it must be listened for.

Désiré-Joseph Mercier

This Day's Verse

For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

The New King James Version

You cannot be my friend unless you desire my good.

How shall we fear God unless we know that all our welfare lies in Him?

John Calvin

This Day's Verse

“Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

Haggai 2:4
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Prayer shouldn’t be casual or sporadic, dictated only by the needs of the moment.  Prayer should be as much a part of our lives as breathing.

Billy Graham

This Day's Thought

The ordinary influence of the Spirit of God, working the grace of charity in the heart, is a more excellent blessing than any of the extraordinary gifts.

This Day's Thought

The whole benefit of trial consists in silence, patience, rest, and resignation. In this condition divine strength is found for the hard warfare, because God Himself fights for the soul.

Miguel de Molinos

This Day's Verse

Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

2 Corinthians 9:15
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

If someone predicts their own death and resurrection and pulls it off, I go with whatever that person says.

This Day's Thought

He has kept and folded us from ten thousand ills when we did not know it.  In the midst of our security we should have perished every hour, but He sheltered us ‘from the terror by night and from the arrow that flieth by day’ —from the powers of evil that walk in darkness, and from snares of our own evil will.  He has kept us even against ourselves, and saved us even from our own undoing.  Let us read the traces of His hand in all our ways, in all the events, the chances, the changes of this troubled state.  It is He that folds and feeds us, that makes us to go in and out, to be faint or to find pasture, to lie down by the still waters, or to walk by the way that is parched and desert.

Henry E. Manning

This Day's Verse

Keep your lives free from the love of money, and be content with what you have; for he has said, “I will never leave you or forsake you.”

Hebrews 13:5
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, “shake well before using.”  That is what God has to do with some of His people.  He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.

This Day's Thought

Strive to see God in all things without exception, and acquiesce in His will with absolute submission.  Do everything for God, uniting yourself to Him by a mere upward glance, or by the overflowing of your heart towards Him.  Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.  Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.  Commend all to God, and then lie still and be at rest in His bosom.  Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God, trusting to His eternal love for you; and if you find that you have wandered forth from this shelter, recall your heart quietly and simply.  Maintain a holy simplicity of mind, and do not smother yourself with a host of cares, wishes, or longings, under any pretext.

Francis de Sales

This Day's Verse

I will direct all his ways:

Isaiah 45:13
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

What we believe about God is the most important thing about us.
