I asked AI for a quote for today August 4th 2025 and had it in think mode.
It was thinking for ages so I took at peek at the “thoughts” to see what it was mulling over. It got seriously stuck on working out what day of the week it was 😂 Sometimes AI blows you away with how smart it is and sometimes it does this…
The AI reasoning below ⬇️ 😆

Alternatively, maybe focus on the day of the week. August 4th, 2025 is a Sunday (I should check that). Let me confirm the day of the week. 2025, August 4th... Let's see, January 1st, 2025 is a Wednesday. Let me count the days. But maybe I can just check an online calendar or use a formula. Alternatively, since I might not have that info, maybe proceed assuming it's Sunday, but perhaps better to check.
Wait, 2025: Let me think. January 1st is Wednesday. Then August has 31 days. Let's calculate the day of the week for August 4th.
From January 1st (Wednesday) to August 4th is 7 months. Let me count the days:
January has 31 days, so January 1 to January 31 is 31 days. February 2025 is not a leap year, so 28 days. March has 31, April 30, May 31, June 30, July 31, and then August 4.
Total days from Jan 1 to Aug 4: (31) + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 4 days in August.
Wait, but that's from Jan 1 to Aug 4. Let me calculate:
Jan: 31 days (but starting from Jan 1, so if I want to find the number of days between Jan 1 and Aug 4 inclusive? Or exclusive?)
Wait, to find the day of the week for August 4th, starting from Jan 1 as Wednesday.
Number of days between Jan 1 and Aug 4:
Jan: 31 days (so from Jan 1 to Jan 31 is 30 days later, but inclusive? Maybe better to calculate total days from Jan 1 (Wednesday) to Aug 4.
Let me use another approach. Let's check how many days are between Jan 1 and Aug 4, then divide by 7 to find the day of the week.
Number of days:
January: 31 (but since we start on Jan 1, the number of days from Jan 1 to Jan 31 is 31 days. Then add the months:
February: 28
March: 31
April: 30
May: 31
June: 30
July: 31
August: 4 days (up to Aug 4)
Total days = 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 4
Calculate step by step:
Jan: 31
Feb: 28 = 59
Mar: 31 = 90
Apr: 30 = 120
May: 31 = 151
June: 30 = 181
July: 31 = 212
Aug:4 = 216 days total from Jan 1 to Aug 4 inclusive.
Now, since Jan 1 is Wednesday, we need to find what day of the week is 216 days later.
Divide 216 by 7. 7*30=210, so 216-210=6 days. So 6 days after Wednesday.
Wednesday + 6 days is Tuesday? Wait:
Wednesday (day 0), Thursday (1), Friday (2), Saturday (3), Sunday (4), Monday (5), Tuesday (6). Yes, so August 4th, 2025 is a Tuesday.
So the devotional would be for a Sunday? Wait no, my calculation says it's Tuesday. But maybe I made an error in the days count. Let me check again.
Alternatively, maybe use another method. For example, using known dates. For example, January 1 is a Wednesday in 2025. Let's check what day August 4th is.
Another way: Let me count the number of days from January 1 to August 4:
January has 31 days. So January 1 is day 0 (Wednesday). Then January 28 is day 27, which would be Wednesday + 27 days. Let's divide 27 by 7: 3 weeks is 21, so day 27 is Wednesday + 6 days = Tuesday. January 28 is Tuesday. Then January 29: Wednesday, Jan 30: Thursday, Jan 31: Friday. Then February has 28 days. So adding 28 days to Jan 31 (Friday) would be Friday + 28 days. Since 28 is divisible by 7, so same day of week. So Feb 28 is also Friday. Then March has 31 days: adding 31 days to Feb 28 (Friday). Let's calculate 31 mod 7: 31 /7 is 4*7=28, remainder 3. So adding 3 days to Friday: Saturday (1), Sunday (2), Monday (3). Therefore, March 31 is a Monday. Then April has 30 days: adding 30 to March 31 (Monday). 30 mod7 is 2 (since 28 days is 4 weeks, so 30-28=2). So adding 2 days to Monday: Tuesday (1), Wednesday (2). Therefore, April 30 is Wednesday. Then May has 31 days: adding 31 to April 30 (Wednesday). 31 mod7= 31-28=3. So adding 3 days to Wednesday: Thursday (1), Friday (2), Saturday (3). Therefore, May 31 is Saturday. June has 30 days: adding 30 to May 31 (Saturday). 30 mod7= 2, since 28 is 4 weeks. So adding 2 days: Sunday (1), Monday (2). Therefore, June 30 is Monday. Then July has 31 days: adding 31 to June 30 (Monday). 31 mod7= 3. So adding 3 days: Tuesday (1), Wednesday (2), Thursday (3). Therefore, July 31 is Thursday. Then August 4th is adding 4 days to July 31 (Thursday). So Thursday +4: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Therefore August 4th is a Monday?
Wait now I'm confused because earlier calculation said Tuesday, but this step-by-step gives Monday. Which is correct?
Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake in one of the steps.
Let me recheck:
Starting from Jan 1 (Wednesday):
January has 31 days. So days remaining in Jan after Jan 1: 30 days (since day 0 is Jan 1). Let's calculate the day of week for Jan 31: 30 days later. 30 divided by 7 is 4 weeks and 2 days. So Wednesday + 2 days = Friday. So Jan 31 is a Friday.
February has 28 days, which is exactly 4 weeks. So adding 28 days to Friday (Jan 31) brings us to February 28, which is also a Friday.
March has 31 days. So from Feb 28 (Friday), add 31 days. Let's see, March has 31 days. So from Friday Feb 28, adding 31 days: Let's divide 31 by 7. 7*4=28, remainder 3. So adding 3 days to Friday: Saturday (1), Sunday (2), Monday (3). Therefore, March 31 is a Monday. Correct.
April has 30 days: From March 31 (Monday), adding 30 days. 30 mod7 is 2, so adding two days: Monday +2 = Wednesday. So April 30 is a Wednesday.
May has 31 days: adding 31 to April 30 (Wednesday). 31 mod7=3, so Wednesday +3 days: Thursday (1), Friday (2), Saturday (3). May 31 is a Saturday.
June has 30 days: adding 30 to May 31 (Saturday). 30 mod7=2. Saturday +2 days: Sunday, Monday. June 30 is a Monday.
July has 31 days: adding 31 to June 30 (Monday). 31 mod7=3. Monday +3: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. July 31 is a Thursday.
August 4th is adding 4 days to July 31 (Thursday). So:
July 31: Thu
August 1: Fri
2: Sat
3: Sun
4: Mon.
Therefore, August 4th is a Monday.
So my previous calculation of 216 days was wrong. The correct day is Monday. So August 4th, 2025 is a Monday.
