This Day's Thought

Take all the pleasures of all the spheres,
And multiply each through endless years,—
One minute of heaven is worth them all.

Thomas Moore

This Day's Verse

David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—from violent people you save me.

2 Samuel 22:1-3
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

Secret, fervent, believing prayer lies at the root of all personal godliness.

This Day's Thought

God, who is everywhere, never leaves us. Yet he seems sometimes to be present, sometimes absent. If we do not know him well, we do not realize that he may be more present to us when he is absent than when he is present.

Thomas Merton

This Day's Verse

For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.

Hebrews 9:14-15
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.

This Day's Thought

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know about Plato and Aristotle to serve…You don’t have to know the second theory of thermo-dynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

This Day's Verse

Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Ephesians 6:10-11
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

To walk with God, we must make it a practice to talk with God.

This Day's Thought

Unless we learn the meaning of mercy by exercising it towards others, we will never have any real knowledge of what it means to love Christ.

“With God are wisdom and strength; he has counsel and understanding.”

Job 12:13
The New Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile

This Day's Thought

Often we know the lonely and fail to reach out in love. We may be shy or find it hard to show love. We may feel that we are being insincere if we try. Then let us accept ourselves as we are—God’s imperfect instruments—and pray that he will use us despite our shortcomings.

Mother Teresa

This Day's Verse

O my Strength, I will sing praises to thee; for thou, O God, art my fortress.

Psalm 59:9
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

People who wrestle with their consciences usually go for two falls out of three.

This Day's Thought

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

D. L. Moody

This Day's Verse

“For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

Isaiah 54:10
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

I could not be interested in any man’s religion if his knowledge of God did not bring him more joy, did not brighten his life, did not make him want to carry this joy into every dark corner of the world. I have no understanding of a long-faced Christian. If God is anything, He must be joy.

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength,”

Isaiah 30:15
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

With God there is no need for long speeches.
