This Day’s Thought-Thursday

O Lord Jesus Christ, who has told us not to be anxious, we trust ourselves and our loved ones to thy loving care, knowing that round about and underneath are the everlasting arms, and praying thee to give us now and always that peace which the world cannot give, nor take away, but which comes only from the Father and from thee, our Savior and Friend.

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Philippians 4:12-13
The New International Version

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

In our natural life our ambitions are our own. In the Christian life we have no aim of our own, and God’s aim looks like missing the mark because we are too shortsighted to see what he is aiming at.

Oswald Chambers

And I will lead the blind in a way that they do not know, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I do, and I do not forsake them.

Isaiah 42:16
The English Standard Version

Anger is a weed; hate is the tree.

Augustine

Trials are medicines which our gracious and wise physician prescribes because we need them; and he proportions the frequency and weight of them to what the case requires. Let us trust in his skill and thank him for his prescription.

John Newton

How precious to me are thy thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!

Psalm 139:17
The Revised Standard Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

To suppose that God could not care for each of us because there are so many people in the world is to place upon him human limitations; but, let us remember, he is God, not man! If he knows our need and seeks to help us, we do not have to give him information, but we do need through prayer to place ourselves in an attitude to be helped.

Georgia Harkness

He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

John 3:31
The New King James Version

To God we use the simplest, shortest words we can find because eloquence is only air and noise to him.

The activities we do for God are secondary. God is looking for people who long for communication with him.

Erwin W. Lutzer

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

James 1:2-5
The New King James Version

God doesn’t believe in atheists.

I will thank and praise God for the strength of my body enabling me to work, for the refreshment of sleep, for my daily bread, for the days of painless health, for the gift of my mind and the gift of my conscience, for His loving guidance of my mind ever since it first began to think, and of my heart ever since I first began to love.

Edward King

I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,

1 Corinthians 1:4

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

To pray “in Jesus’ name” means to pray in his spirit, in his compassion, in his love, in his outrage, in his concern. In other words, it means to pray a prayer that Jesus himself might pray.

Kenneth L. Wilson

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.

1 John 4:18
The Revised Standard Version

One friend, one person who is truly understanding, who takes the trouble to listen to us as we consider a problem, can change our whole outlook on the world.

Lord,
Be Thou within me, to strengthen me;
Without me, to keep me;
Above me, to protect me;
Beneath me, to uphold me;
Before me, to direct me;
Behind me, to keep me from straying;
Round about me, to defend me.
Blessed be Thou, O Lord, our Father,
for ever and ever.

Lancelot Andrewes

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

Find satisfaction in him who made you, and only then find satisfaction in yourself as part of his creation.

Augustine

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

Genesis 15:1
The New International Version

King James I once became annoyed with the irrelevant ramblings of his court preacher and shouted up to the pulpit: “Either make sense or come down out of that pulpit!” The preacher replied, “I will do neither.”
