This Day's Thought

This Day's Thought

God does not help us by removing the tests, but by making the tests work for us.

Warren Wiersbe

This Day's Verse

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

2 Corinthians 13:14
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

A powerful story came out of World War II. It is about a little Jewish boy who was living in a small Polish village when Nazi troops rounded up him and all the other Jews in the vicinity and sentenced them to death. The boy joined his neighbours in digging a shallow ditch for their own graves. Then the soldiers lined them up against a wall and machine gunned them down. But none of the bullets hit the little boy. The blood of his parents splattered his naked body, and as he fell into the ditch he pretended to be dead. The grave was so shallow that the thin covering of dirt did not prevent him from breathing. Several hours later, when darkness fell, he clawed his way out of the grave. With blood and dirt caked to his little body, he made his way to the nearest house and begged for help. Recognizing him as one of the Jewish boys marked for death, he was turned away at house after house as people feared getting into trouble with the SS troops. Then something inside seemed to guide him to say something that was very strange for a Jewish boy to say. When the next family responded to his timid knocking in the still of the night, they heard him cry, “Don’t you recognize me? I am the Jesus you say you love.” After a poignant pause, the woman who stood in the doorway swept him into her arms and kissed him. From that day on, the members of that family cared for that boy as though he was one of their own.

This Day's Thought

God’s altar stands from Sunday to Sunday, and the seventh day is no more for religion than any other—it is for rest. The whole seven are for religion, and one of them for rest, for instruction, for social worship, for gaining strength for the other six.

Henry Ward Beecher

This Day's Verse

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

2 Peter 1:2
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

Someone once asked Dwight Moody, the nineteenth-century American evangelist, “Have you been filled with the Holy Spirit?” “Yes,” he replied, “but I leak!”
