This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.

Oswald Chambers

Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

God makes every common thing serve, if thou wilt, to enlarge that capacity of bliss in His love. Not a prayer, not an act of faithfulness in your calling, not a self-denying or kind word or deed, done out of love for Himself; not a weariness or painfulness endured patiently; not a duty performed; not a temptation resisted; but it enlarges the whole soul for the endless capacity of the love of God.

Edward Bouverie Pusey

Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.

Psalm 145:13
The King James Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Our biggest mistake is to think that a time of prayer is different from any other time. It is all one.

Brother Lawrence

The LORD is slow to anger, abounding in love and forgiving sin and rebellion.

Numbers 14:18
The New International Version

Conscience is not the voice of God; it is the gift of God.

As long as we meddle with any kind of sin we shall never clearly see the blessed face of our Lord.

Julian of Norwich

“First seek the counsel of the Lord.”

1 Kings 22:5
The New International Version

Purity of heart and simplicity are of great force with Almighty God, who is in purity most singular, and of nature most simple.

Gregory the Great

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless-it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation.

C. S. Lewis

Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not. That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”

John 8:23-24
The New Living Translation

It is not our trust that keeps us, but the God in whom we trust who keeps us.

Oswald Chambers

God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things which we cannot comprehend.

Job 37:5
The Revised Standard Version

Nothing can make our life, or the lives of other people, more beautiful than perpetual kindness.

Leo Tolstoy

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Father; let me hold Your hand and like a child, walk with You down all my days, secure in Your love and in Your strength.

Thomas a Kempis

As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.

Psalm 18:30
The New International Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

The highest pinnacle of the spiritual life is not happy joy in unbroken sunshine, but absolute and undoubting trust in the love of God.

Anthony Wilson Thorold

For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, And He ponders all his paths.

Proverbs 5:21
The New King James Version

Earthly props are useless,
On Thy grace I fall;
Earthly strength is weakness,
Father, on Thee I call—
For comfort, strength, and guidance,
O, give me all!

John Oxenham

This Day’s Thought-Friday

We sleep in peace in the arms of God, when we yield ourselves up to His providence, in a delightful consciousness of His tender mercies; no more restless uncertainties, no more anxious desires, no more impatience at the place we are in; for it is God who has put us there, and who holds us in His arms. Can we be unsafe where He has placed us?

Francois Fenelon

“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”

1 Chronicles 28:9-10
The New King James Version

Listening requires the use of our hearts as well as our ears.

Beth Mende Conny

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

In our private prayers and in our public services we are forever asking God to do things that he either has already done or cannot do because of our unbelief. We plead for him to speak when he has already spoken and is at that very moment speaking. We ask him to come when he is already present and waiting for us to recognize him. We beg the Holy Spirit to fill us while all the time we are preventing him by our doubts.

A. W. Tozer

When people’s lives please the LORD, even their enemies are at peace with them.

Proverbs 16:7
The New Living Translation
