This Day's Thought

Many favors which God gives us ravel out for want of hemming through our unthankfulness; for, though prayer purchases blessings, giving praise keeps the quiet possession of them.

Thomas Fuller

This Day's Verse

“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”

Psalm 50:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

Rest and be thankful.

This Day's Thought

We tend to misunderstand the link between joy and gratefulness.  We notice that joyful people are grateful and suppose that they are grateful for their joy.  But the reverse is true: Their joy springs from gratefulness.

David Steindl-Rast

This Day's Verse

For only we who believe God can enter into his place of rest.

Hebrews 4:3
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

Nothing is too little to be ordered by our Father; nothing too little in which to see His hand; nothing, which touches our souls, too little to accept from Him; nothing too little to be done to Him.

E. B. Pusey

This Day's Thought

Give up yourself to God without reserve; in singleness of heart, meeting everything that every day brings forth, as something that comes from God, and is to be received and gone through by you, in such an heavenly use of it, as you would suppose the holy Jesus would have done, in such occurrences.  This is an attainable degree of perfection.

William Law

This Day's Verse

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Psalm 116:7
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Faith is simply taking God at His word.
