<p style="text-align:center;">Only God Knows</p> <p>This Day's Thought</p> <p>Do you know a book that you are willing to put under your head for a pillow when you are dying?  Very well; that is the book you want to study when you are living.  There is only one such book in the world.</p> <p>Joseph Cook</p> <p>This Day's Verse</p> <p>Consult together, argue your case.  Get together and decide what to say.  Who made these things known so long ago?  What idol ever told you they would happen?  Was it not I, the Lord?  For there is no other God but me, a righteous God and Savior.  There is none but me.  Let all the world look to me for salvation!  For I am God; there is no other.</p> <p>Isaiah 45:21-22</p> <p>The New Living Translation</p> <p>This Day's Thought</p> <p>Bread for myself is a material question; bread for my neighbor is a spiritual question.</p> <p>Jacques Martin</p> <p>This Day's Verse</p> <p>He determines the number of the stars, he gives to all of them their names.  Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.</p> <p>Psalm 147:4-5</p> <p>The Revised Standard Version</p> <p>This Day's Smile</p> <p>What if God arranged things so that we would experience a mild jolt of pain with every sin, or a tickle of pleasure with every act of virtue?  Sort of a divine behavior modification, if you will.  Would you obey because you loved God?  I don’t think so.  I think you’d obey simply because you desired pleasure and not pain.</p> <p>Joni Eareckson Tada</p>
