I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.

If your father and mother, your sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house, are not happier for your being Christian, it is a question whether you really are.

This Day's Thought

Temptation succeeds best in corrupting the over-zealous Christian or the underachieving Christian. It has far less success with the Christian who maintains a simple, practical, and even-tempered faith.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday


This Day's Thought

Every day let us renew the consecration to God’s service.  Every day let us, in His strength, pledge ourselves afresh to do His will, even in the veriest trifle, and to turn aside from anything that may displease Him… He does not bid us bear the burdens of tomorrow, next week, or next year.  Every day we are to come to Him in simple obedience and faith, asking help to keep us and aid us through that day’s work.  Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, through years of long tomorrows, it will be but the same thing to do; leaving the future always in God’s hands, sure that He can care for it better than we.  Blessed trust!  That can thus confidingly say, “This hour is mine with its present duty; the next is God’s, and when it comes, His presence will come with it.”

Unknown


This Day's Verse

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3:14-19
The Revised Standard Version

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday


This Day's Thought

There is another kind of silence to be cultivated, besides that of the tongue as regards others.  I mean silence as regards one’s self—restraining the imagination, not permitting it to dwell overmuch on what we have heard or said, not indulging in daydreaming, whether of the past or future.  Be sure that you have made no small progress in the spiritual life, when you can control your imagination, so as to fix it on the duty and occupation actually existing, to the exclusion of the crowd of thoughts which are perpetually sweeping across the mind.  No doubt, you cannot prevent those thoughts from arising, but you can prevent yourself from dwelling on them; you can put them aside, you can check the self-complacency, or irritation, or earthly belongings which feed them, and by the practice of such control of your thoughts you will attain that spirit of inward silence which draws the soul into a close fellowship with God.

Jean N. Grou


This Day's Verse

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.  The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Matthew 26:41
The New International Version


This Day's Reprise

The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the Unabridged Dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing factory.
