This Day's Thought

The potency of prayer hath subdued the strength of fire; it hath bridled the rage of lions, hushed anarchy to rest, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, expanded the gates of heaven, assuaged diseases, repelled frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt.

John Chrysostom

This Day's Verse

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Ephesians 2:8
The New King James Version

This Day's Thought

Give me a stout heart to bear my own burdens.
Give me a willing heart to bear the burdens of others.
Give me a believing heart to cast all burdens upon Thee, O Lord.

John Baillie

This Day's Verse

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

1 Peter 5:8
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Some days, it is enough encouragement just to watch the clouds break up and disappear, leaving behind a blue patch of sky and bright sunshine that is so warm upon my face. It’s a glimpse of divinity; a kiss from heaven.

This Day's Thought

We are persons in transition. There is more of life before us, and we are God’s agents to each other in encouragement and development. Even in aging we need not cease to grow in different areas of life.

Myron Augsburger

This Day's Verse

Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise him, all you people of the earth. For his unfailing love for us is powerful; the Lord’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 117
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

I am happy in having learned to distinguish between ownership and possession. Books, pictures, and all the beauty of the world belong to those who love and understand them—not usually to those who possess them. All of those things that I am entitled to have I have—I own by divine right. So I care not about who possesses them.
