This Day's Thought

God takes men’s hearty desires and will, instead of the deed, when they have not power to fulfill it; but he never took the bare deed instead of the will.

Richard Baxter

This Day's Verse

Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed.

Ecclesiastes 8:1
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

The London Times asked various writers for essays on the topic “What’s Wrong with the World?” G. K. Chesterton replied (in perhaps the shortest essay in history),

Dear Sirs:
I am.
Sincerely yours, G. K. Chesterton

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.

D. L. Moody
