This Day's Thought

When we accept what happens to us and make the best of it, we are praising God.

Teresa of Avila

This Day's Verse

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Galatians 6:9
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

A man hoping to find wisdom traveled to Poland to see the renowned Rabbi Hafez Hayyim. When he arrived at the celebrated rabbi’s house, he was surprised to see that it was nothing more than a room. There, the rabbi sat on a bench at a small table surrounded only by the numerous volumes of books he continually pored over in study. The seeker asked, “Good Rabbi, where are all your belongings? Where are your furnishings?” Hafez answered, “Tell me, where are yours?” “Where are mine?” said the startled man. “But I only came here for a short visit.” “So did I,” the rabbi said.

This Day's Thought

There is danger of leaving God out of our Thanksgiving Day. We are making it a holiday rather than a holy day. It is a day for the public recognition of God as the giver of all good. To leave God out of Thanksgiving Day is as absurd as leaving Christ out of Christmas.

This Day's Thought

Surely that preaching which comes from the soul most works on the soul.

Thomas Fuller

This Day's Verse

Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob! Raise a song, sound the timbrel, the sweet lyre with the harp. Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day.

This Day's Thought

I have never committed the least matter to God, that I have not had reason for infinite praise.

Anna Shipton

This Day's Verse

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

John 8:36
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

For worship is a thirsty land crying out for rain,
It is a candle in the act of being kindled,
It is a drop in quest of the ocean,
It is a voice in the night calling for help,
It is a soul standing in awe before the mystery of the universe,
It is time flowing into eternity,
A man climbing the altar stairs to God.

Dwight Bradley
