This Day's Thought

Holiness appeared to me to be of a sweet, pleasant, charming, serene, calm nature; which brought an inexpressible purity, brightness, peacefulness, and ravishment to the soul. In other words, that it made the soul like a field or garden of God, with all manner of pleasant flowers.

Jonathan Edwards

This Day's Thought

Sorrow is divine. Sorrow is reigning on all the thrones of the universe, and the crown of all crowns has been one of thorns. There have been many books that treat of the sympathy of sorrow, but only one that bids us glory in tribulation, and count it all joy when we fall into divers afflictions, that so we may be associated with that great fellowship of suffering of which the incarnate Son of God is the head, and through which He is carrying a redemptive conflict to a glorious victory over evil. If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

This Day's Verse

As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

Proverbs 27:17
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

This Day's Verse

Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a a refining influence on us.

Ecclesiastes 7:3
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

A man fell off a cliff but managed to grab hold of a branch on his way down. He hung there and shouted up to the top,
“Is anybody up there?”
“Yes,” came the reply, “God is up here!”
“Can you help me, God?”
“Yes.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Let go of the branch.”
There was a pause.
“Is there anybody else up there?”

The grace of God is sufficient for all our needs, for every problem and for every difficulty, for every broken heart, and for every human sorrow.

Peter Marshall

This Day's Verse

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.  Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

Ecclesiastes 9:17-18
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

The best things in life are free, are they not? The air we breathe is not sold by the cubic foot. The water that flows crystal clear from the mountain stream is free for the taking. Love is free, faith is free, hope is free.

Billy Graham
