This Day’s Thought-Thursday

There was a day when I died, utterly died, died to George Muller, his opinions, preferences, tastes and will, died to the world, its approval or censure, died to the approval or blame even of my brethren and friends, and since then I have studied to show myself approved unto God.

George Muller

“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms; provide yourselves with purses that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Luke 12:32-34
The Revised Standard Version

No one is a firmer believer in the power of prayer than the devil; not that he practices it, but he suffers from it.

Guy H. King

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.

Isaiah 61:10-11
The English Standard Version

Sometimes when you wonder why you can’t hear God’s voice during your trials, remember the teacher is aways quiet during the test.

I see not a step before me as I tread on another year;
But I’ve left the past in God’s keeping—the future his mercy shall clear;
And what looks dark in the distance may brighten as I draw near.

Mary Gardiner Brainard

Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength, And in Your favor our horn is exalted. For our shield belongs to the Lord, And our king to the Holy One of Israel.

Psalm 89:15-18
The New King James Version

The New Year! And a road that we must go!
Lord God, you know
Each bog, each rugged hill.

Another year is dawning;
dear Father, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
another year with thee.
Another year of progress,
another year of praise,
Another year of proving
thy presence all the days.
Another year of service,
of witness for thy love;
Another year of training
for holier work above.
Another year is dawning;
dear Father, let it be,
on earth, or else in heaven, another year for thee.

Frances Ridley Havergal

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

Have a great day, or do you have other plans?
