This Day’s Thought-Friday

No, I do not become discouraged. You see, God has not called me to a ministry of success. He has called me to a ministry of mercy.

Mother Teresa

The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him. The Lord detests the way of the wicked, but he loves those who pursue righteousness.

Proverbs 15:8-9
The New International Version

Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.

He began His ministry by being hungry, yet He is the Bread of Life.
Jesus ended His earthly ministry by being thirsty, yet He is the Living Water.
Jesus was weary, yet He is our rest.
Jesus paid tribute, yet He is the King.
Jesus was accused of having a demon, yet He has cast out demons.
Jesus wept, yet He wipes away our tears.
Jesus was sold for thirty pieces of silver, yet He redeemed the world.
Jesus was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, yet He is the Good Shepherd.
Jesus died, yet by His death He destroyed the power of death.

Gregory of Nazianzus

“Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together.”

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.

John Bunyan

For false messiahs and false prophets will rise up and perform signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even God’s chosen ones. Watch out! I have warned you about this ahead of time!

Mark 13:22-23
The New Living Translation

J. Arthur Rank, an English executive, decided to do all his worrying on one day each week. He chose Wednesdays. When anything happened that gave him anxiety and annoyed his ulcer, he would write it down and put it in his worry box and forget about it until next Wednesday. The interesting thing was that on the following Wednesday when he opened his worry box, he found that most of the things that had disturbed him during the past six days were already settled. It would have been useless to have worried about them.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

God’s gifts are meted out according to the taker, not according to the giver.

Meister Eckhart

But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

1 Peter 1:25

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Many a professing Christian is a stumbling-block because his worship is divided. On Sunday he worships God; on weekdays God has little or no place in his thoughts.

D. L. Moody

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Philippians 1:21

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

We are slaves to our gadgets, puppets of our power, and prisoners of our security. The theme of our generation is: “Get more, know more, and do more,” instead of “Pray more, be more, and serve more.”

Billy Graham

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17
The English Standard Version

It is the history of our kindnesses that alone makes this world tolerable.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday with Note

Dear Members…we continue this month of November with our annual fundraising efforts for next year’s operations, and we wish to first thank you for so many years of support. If it were not for you, our ministry participants, we would never have reached so many people, from so many countries, for such a long time.

As we begin our 22nd year of ministry this coming January, we continue to pray that each day’s new message will provide inspiration and encouragement…and bring us all closer to the Lord.

We ask that if you feel so led, you might offer your financial support and investment in these efforts so that we may continue touching those in need with our daily Christian “seeds for the day.”

If you wish to contribute to This Day’s Thought, you may do so on our website donation page, at this link: Make A Donation

Thank you and may God bless you in your continued walk with Him.

Sincerely, Greg for This Day’s Thought

When at last I cling to you with all my being, for me there will be no more sorrow, no more toil. Then at last I shall be alive with true life, for my life will be wholly filled by you.

Augustine

And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

1 Chronicles 28:20

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

Max Lucado

Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!”

Acts 5:29
The New International Version

A man was asked to address a group about despondency. He tacked up a big sheet of white paper. Then he made a black spot on the paper with his pencil and asked a man in the front row what he saw. The man replied promptly, “A black spot.” The speaker asked every person in the audience the same question, and each replied, “A black spot.” With calm and deliberate emphasis the speaker said, “Yes, there is a little black spot, but none of you saw the big sheet of white paper. That’s the point of my speech.”
