This Day's Thought

The end we ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshippers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.

Brother Lawrence

This Day's Verse

Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people, from this time on and forevermore.

Psalm 125:1-2
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

He who would fight the devil with his own weapons, must not wonder if he finds him an overmatch.

This Day's Thought

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve…You don’t have to know the second theory of thermo-dynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

This Day's Verse

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Ephesians 6:10-11
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

To walk with God, we must make it a practice to talk with God.

This Day's Thought

The devil fears a soul in union with God as he fears God himself.

John of the Cross

This Day's Verse

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.

Proverbs 4:18
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The audience was waiting for the brilliant pianist to come out onto the stage. Then, to everyone’s embarrassment, a little boy wandered up onto the stage and started banging out one harsh note on the Steinway. Suddenly, the maestro appeared in the wings and made his way over to the boy. Standing behind him as he banged away tunelessly, he began to weave a melody around the note, taking it up into his larger tune and transforming it into something beautiful. After a few moments, the maestro gently led the boy away from the piano, and together they took a bow to the audience’s applause. The little boy wandered back to his seat—not embarrassed, not having been made to look foolish. In the same way, Jesus can take the harsh, discordant, out-of-tune moments of our lives—perhaps a time of sexual sin, or of cowardice or defeat in some other way—and can weave his own purposes around them. As we let him do this, he transforms our mistakes and failures, bringing out of them something he can use for his glory.
