This Day's Thought

But how shall we rest in God? By giving ourselves wholly to Him. If you give yourself by halves, you cannot find full rest—there will ever be a lurking disquiet in that half which is withheld…All peace and happiness in this world depend upon unreserved self-oblation to God. If this be hearty and entire, the result will be an unfailing, ever-increasing happiness, which nothing can disturb. There is no real happiness in this life save that which is the result of a peaceful heart.

Jean Nicolas Grou

This Day's Verse

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Titus 3:4-7
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

No roadway of life is too dark to travel if the star of faith lights the way.

This Day's Thought

Nothing is small or great in God’s sight; whatever He wills becomes great to us, however trifling, and if once the voice of conscience tells us that He requires anything of us, we have no right to measure its importance.

Jean Nicolas Grou

This Day's Verse

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

2 Timothy 4:7
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Searching for true happiness in the context of a godless life is like looking for a needle in a haystack that doesn’t have any.

This Day's Thought

Happiness is neither within us only, or without us; it is the union of ourselves with God.

Blaise Pascal

This Day's Verse

Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious ideal; yet now God declares us “not guilty” of offending him if we trust in Jesus Christ, who in his kindness freely takes away our sins.

Romans 3:23-24
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

It is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelet in the pan for the love of God.

This Day's Thought

When Jesus Christ utters a word, He opens His mouth so wide that it embraces all heaven and earth, even though that Word be but in a whisper. The word of the emperor is powerful, but that of Jesus Christ governs the whole universe.

Martin Luther

This Day's Verse

“Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied. “You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart. Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. For the sake of his great name the Lord will not reject his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own. As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right. But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will perish.”

1 Samuel 12:20-25
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

Happiness grows at your own fireside, and is not to be picked in strangers’ gardens.

This Day's Thought

Without God, life is a monotonous repetition of weeks, months, seasons, years, decades, and generations.

“For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

Mark 9:41
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Happiness without reason is the ultimate freedom.
