This Day's Thought

Read the Bible, not as a newspaper, but as a home letter. If a cluster of heavenly fruit hangs within reach, gather it. If a promise lies upon the page as a blank check, cash it. If a prayer is recorded, appropriate it, and launch it as a feathered arrow from the bow of your desire. If an example of holiness gleams before you, ask God to do as much for you. If the truth is revealed in all its intrinsic splendor, entreat that its brilliance may ever irradiate the hemisphere of your life.

F. B. Meyer

This Day's Verse

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

Proverbs 10:28
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

As we begin to see the package God is putting together in our lives and discover his purposes for bringing us to our world, it will provide us with the framework we need to make wise choices. In addition, we will find that a sense of purpose gives hope in the midst of tragedy and difficulty, gives meaning to the mundane aspects of our lives, and helps us to make our lives count for God.

This Day's Thought

What air is to a man’s physical nature, the Holy Spirit is to man’s spiritual nature.  Without air there is death in our bodies; without the Holy Spirit there is death in our souls.

Abraham Kuyper

This Day's Verse

The Lord will fulfil his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures for ever.  Do not forsake the work of your hands.

Psalm 138:8
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Let the day have a blessed baptism by giving your first waking hours and thoughts into the bosom of God.  The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day.

Henry Ward Beecher
