This Day's Thought

The will of God is never defeated, though much is done that is contrary to His will…Even what is done in opposition to His will does not defeat His will.

Augustine

This Day's Verse

If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?  And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.

1 John 4:20-21
The New Living Translation

And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.

This Day's Thought

Neither go back in fear and misgiving to the past, nor in anxiety and forecasting to the future. Instead, lie quiet under His hand, having no will but His.

Henry E. Manning

This Day's Verse

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Luke 12:15
The King James Version

The light of faith confers upon us undreamed-of enhancement of our vision, an extension of our understanding, an enrichment of our natural powers beyond the powers of words to convey.

This Day's Thought

That piety which sanctifies us, and which is a true devotion to God, consists in doing all His will precisely at the time, in the situation, and under the circumstances, in which He has placed us.  Perfect devotedness requires not only that we do the will of God, but that we do it with love.  God would have us serve Him with delight; it is our hearts that He asks of us.

François Fénelon

This Day's Verse

Even if we believe that it makes no difference to the Lord whether we do these things, still we cannot just go ahead and do them to please ourselves; for we must bear the “burden” of being considerate of the doubts and fears of others—of those who feel these things are wrong.  Let’s please the other fellow, not ourselves, and do what is for his good and thus build him up in the Lord.  Christ didn’t please himself.  As the Psalmist said, “He came for the very purpose of suffering under the insults of those who were against the Lord.”  These things that were written in the Scriptures so long ago are to teach us patience and to encourage us so that we will look forward expectantly to the time when God will conquer sin and death.

Romans 15:1-4
The Living Bible

Prayer is the soul getting into contact with the God in whom it believes.
