This Day's Thought

“My peace I give unto you”; it is a peace all over from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet, an irrepressible confidence.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 104:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The story is told of a poor man who plodded along toward home in an Irish town carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon carrying a stranger came along, and the stranger stopped the wagon and invited the man on foot to climb inside. This the poor man did, but when he sat down in the wagon he held the bag of potatoes in his arms. And when it was suggested that he should set it down, he said very warmly: “Sir, I don’t like to trouble you too much. You’re giving me a ride. I’ll carry the potatoes!” Sometimes we think we are doing the Lord a favor when we carry the burden. But the work is His, and the burden is His, and He asks us only to be faithful.

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday & Special Reminder

NOW AVAILABLE! Box of 365 of our very best Christian quotations!

Dear Ministry Members,

We are excited to present another means of receiving the best of our daily Christian quotations, offering you inspiration and encouragement for your day.  We hope you will enjoy and be blessed by this wonderful new resource, as described below.

From ministry member Mark of  Vilas, NC…

I’ve been a supporter of This Day’s Thought for many years. Receiving their daily emails of noble and happy thoughts is one of the highlights of my entire day. When I was a young boy, my family had a box of Bible verses that stayed on our kitchen table. Before the main meal each day, someone would read the short verse and pray. Sometimes we discussed the verse; other times, it was simply read and returned to its holder. But the steady, daily exposure to God’s Word was having a profound effect on my life that I wouldn’t fully understand until I grew up and left home. As I’ve sawn, sanded, and nailed each little box together, it’s been my prayer that each one will find fertile soil in the lives and homes of those to whom they are mailed. The box is handmade in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina from reclaimed wood, and it’s my great honor to place these selected quotes from This Day’s Thought into your hands. May the Lord bless you, grow your faith, and guide you on your journey toward our heavenly home. In Him, Mark, Vilas, NC

This Day's Thought

Joy is not mere happiness.
Nor does joy spring from a life of ease, comfort, or peaceful circumstances.
Joy is the soul’s buoyant response to a God of promise, presence, and power.

Susan Lenzkes

This Day's Verse

Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.

Daniel 12:3
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

The almighty Father will use life’s reverses to move you forward.

This Day's Thought

Before God changes our circumstances, He wants to change our hearts.

Warren Wiersbe

This Day's Verse

Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? The farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”

Mark 4:13-20
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

A violin-maker in the old days always chose the wood for his violins from the north side of the trees; it was the side upon which the wind and the storms had beaten. So he said when he heard the groaning of the trees in the forest at night he didn’t feel sorry for them, for they were just learning to be violins.

This Day's Thought

The man who lives without Jesus is the poorest of the poor, whereas no one is so rich as the man who lives in His grace.

Thomas à Kempis

This Day's Verse

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1 Corinthians 2:5
The King James Version

I wish for you a kinder sea.

This Day's Thought

The best of men are still sinners. If we take pride in the “greats” of this world, we have a warped view of God’s values. He chooses the base, the lowly, and the unknown.

Erwin W. Lutzer

This Day's Verse

“’Be strong, all you people still left in the land. And now get to work, for I am with you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised when you came out of Egypt. So do not be afraid.’”

Haggai 2:4-5
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush; it can color any situation.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

This Day's Thought

When we in prayer seek only the glorification of the name of God, then we are in complete harmony with the spirit of prayer. Then our hearts are at rest both while we pray and after we have prayed. Then we can wait for the Lord.

Ole Hallesby

This Day's Verse

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans 8:31-32
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

Philo of Alexandria

This Day's Thought

Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God’s most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.

Charles Stanley

This Day's Verse

But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

Psalm 94:22
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

You can’t tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.

Will Rogers

This Day's Thought

Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

The Lord says to the people of Israel, “Seek me—and live.”

Amos 5:4
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

We should render thanks to God for having produced this temporal light, which is the smile of heaven and joy of the world, spreading it like a cloth of gold over the face of the air and earth, and lighting it as a torch by which we might behold His works.
