This Day’s Thought-Thursday


This Day's Thought

God in His nature is most simple and cannot admit of any duplicity.  If we then would be conformable to Him, we should try to become by virtue what He is by nature.  We should be simple in our affections, intentions, actions, and words; we should do what we find to do without artifice or guile, making our exterior conformable to our interior.  We should have no other object but God in our actions and seek to please Him alone in all things.

Vincent de Paul


This Day's Verse

Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

Nehemiah 9:20
The King James Version


This Day's Reprise

A man prayed, and at first he thought that prayer was talking.  But he became more and more quiet until in the end he realized that prayer is listening.

Soren Kierkegaard

This Day's Thought

We need a baptism of clear seeing.  We desperately need seers who can see through the mist—Christian leaders with prophetic vision.  Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation.  And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our world orthodoxy.

A. W. Tozer


This Day's Verse

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.

Jeremiah 17:14
The New King James Version


This Day's Smile

How good it is to desire a little and to have a little more than enough.

This Day's Thought

Little words are the sweetest to hear; little charities fly furthest and stay longest on the wing; little lakes are the stillest; little hearts are the fullest, and little farms are the best tilled.  Little books are read the most and little songs the dearest loved.  And when Nature would make anything especially rare and beautiful, she makes it little; little pearls, little diamonds, little dews.  Agar’s is a model prayer but then it is a little one; and the burden of the petition is for but the little.  The Sermon on the Mount is little, but the last dedication discourse was an hour long.  Life is made up of little things that count, and death is what remains of them all.  Day is made up of little beams, and night is glorious with little stars.

This Day's Verse

For Jehovah God is our Light and our Protector.  He gives us grace and glory.  No good thing will he withhold from those who walk along his paths.

Psalm 84:11
The Living Bible


This Day's Reprise

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

This Day's Thought

Christ wanted men to see, to see far and to see truly.  To get that kind of vision requires avoidance of hypocrisies and group prejudice which distort the vision and make men imagine they see what is not really there.

John Foster Dulles


This Day's Verse

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

John 3:3
The New International Version


This Day's Smile

There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.

This Day's Thought

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is a key that opens God’s heart.  You must speak to Jesus, not only with your lips, but also with your heart; actually, on certain occasions, you should speak with only your heart.

Padre Pio


This Day's Verse

Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  All glory to him, both now and forever!  Amen.

2 Peter 3:18
The New Living Translation


This Day's Smile

The dictionary defines night in terms of day and day in terms of night.  Can we find a way to talk about light and dark without talking about good and bad?  To love both day and night?  Can we hold the beauty of both in the same breath?

This Day's Thought

Every time we say, “I believe in the Holy Spirit,” we mean that we believe that there is a living God able and willing to enter human personality and change it.

J. B. Phillips


This Day's Verse

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,  And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6
The New King James Version


This Day's Reprise

A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like a summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden.  It is the most joyous day of the whole week.

Henry Ward Beecher

This Day's Thought

The Gateway to Christianity is not through an intricate labyrinth of dogma, but by a simple belief in the person of Christ.

William Lyon Phelps


This Day's Verse

Anyone is my brother who fears and trusts the Lord and obeys him.

Psalm 119:63
The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

I asked a man what made his life so radiant and bright.
He answered:  “Looking, looking toward the Light!”

This Day's Thought

The walls of our monasteries enclose a narrow space.  To erect the structure of holiness in it, one must dig deep and build high, must descend into the depths of the dark night of one’s own nothingness in order to be raised up high into the sunlight of divine love and compassion.

Edith Stein


This Day's Verse

Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Hebrews 2:18
The New International Version


This Day's Reprise

I was always complaining about the ruts in the road until I realized the ruts are the road.

This Day’s Thought-Monday


This Day's Thought

For me, prayer means launching out of the heart towards God; it means lifting up one’s eyes, quite simply, to Heaven, a cry of grateful love from the crest of joy or the trough of despair, it’s a vast, supernatural force which opens out my heart, and binds me close to Jesus.

Therese of Lisieux


This Day's Verse

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Isaiah 1:18-20
The King James Version


This Day's Smile

I rejoice in my life because the lamp still glows;
I seek no thorny ways;
I love the small pleasures of life.
If the doors are too low, I bend;
If I can remove a stone from the path, I do so;
If it is too heavy, I go round it.
I find something in every day that pleases me.
The cornerstone, my belief in God, makes my heart glad and my face shining.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s mother

This Day's Thought

Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if He wants anything of you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength.

Philip Neri


This Day's Verse

For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

Romans 10:10
The English Standard Version

Delicate humor is the crowning virtue of the saints.
