This Day's Thought

There is not a single pessimistic note anywhere in the New Testament after the resurrection.

Andrew W. Blackwood

This Day's Verse

From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

Matthew 16:21
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

The only shadow on the cloudless Easter day of God’s victory is the poverty of my own devotion, the memory of ineffective hours of unbelief, and my own stingy response to God’s generosity.

This Day's Thought

The baptism of the Holy Spirit, or regeneration, occurs when the sinner abandons himself wholly to Christ, in mind, heart, will, thus appropriating Christ’s imputed righteousness, and when, upon that surrender of the sinner to him, Christ imparts to the sinner the life of God, changing him from a carnal to a spiritual creature.

J. C. Massee

This Day's Verse

I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.

Psalm 138:1-3
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

A spirit of thankfulness is one of the most distinctive marks of a Christian whose heart is attuned to the Lord. Thank God in the midst of trials and every persecution.

Billy Graham

This Day's Thought

Christ showed His love in deed, not in word, and you will be touched by the thought of His cross far more by bearing it after Him, than by glowing accounts of it.

John Henry Newman

This Day's Verse

Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me.”

Luke 10:16
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life: faith is oil.

This Day's Thought

Even though the night darkens your spirit, its purpose is to impart light. Even though it humbles you, revealing the depth of your wretchedness, its purpose is to exalt and uplift you. Even though it empties you of all feeling and detaches you from all natural pleasures, its purpose is to fill you with spiritual joy and attach you to the source of that joy.

John of the Cross

This Day's Verse

“Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; And by Him actions are weighed.”

1 Samuel 2:3
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Don’t try to deal with sin, for you are sure to lose. Deal with Christ; let him deal with your sin and you are sure to win.

This Day's Thought

That man strangely mistakes the manner of spirit he is of who knows not that peaceableness, and gentleness, and mercy, as well as purity, are inseparable characteristics of the wisdom that is from above; and that Christian charity ought never to be sacrificed even for the promotion of evangelical truth.

Richard Mant

This Day's Verse

And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Acts 16:31
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without in himself.

This Day's Thought

You cannot claim to worship Jesus in the tabernacle if you do not pity Jesus in the slum. Now go out into the highways and hedges, and look for Jesus in the ragged and the naked..in those who have lost hope, and in those who are struggling to make good. Look for Jesus in them; and when you have found him, gird yourself with his towel of fellowship and wash His feet in the person of his brethren.

Frank Weston

This Day's Verse

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Psalm 1:6
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

It would seem, after having been a Christian for almost 80 years, that I would no longer do ugly things that need forgiving.  Yet I am constantly doing things to others that cause me to have to go back and ask their forgiveness.  Sometimes these are things I actually do—other times they are simply attitudes I let creep in which break the circle of God’s perfect love.

This Day's Thought

When a man resists sin on human motives only, he will not hold out long.

Daniel Wilson

This Day's Verse

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

2 Thessalonians 3:16
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

When you can’t see him, trust him. Jesus is closer than you ever dreamed.

This Day's Thought

Each of us takes his place in the center of his own world. But I am not the center of the world, or the standard of reference as between good and bad; I am not, and God is. In other words, from the beginning I put myself in God’s place. This is my original sin.

William Temple

This Day's Verse

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

Job 5:17-18
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

The love of Christ becomes the mightiest force in the world to the man who is yielded to it.

This Day's Thought

Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen.

Peter Marshall

This Day's Verse

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angles, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39
The New American Standard Bible

His visits with the inner man are frequent.

This Day's Thought

The great freedom Jesus gives us is to be ourselves, defined by His love and our inner qualities and gifts rather than by any kind of show we put on for the world.

Leslie Williams

This Day's Verse

For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Luke 12:48
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

I need the opportunity to free my mind of sorrow, personal concerns; to see my world through the mirrored reflection of holiness.  I need a time of prayer to leap beyond what is limiting in me as a person, to rediscover what is important and what is trivial, to take counsel with what my tradition stresses as the living faith.  I need prayer.
