This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Let your spiritual side guide your material side, and not the other way around. In order to improve his state, a person should strive for spiritual not physical perfection.

Leo Tolstoy

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

The merit of persons is to be no rule of our charity; but we are to do acts of kindness to those that least of all deserve it.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

It is not necessary to maintain a conversation when we are in the presence of God. We can come into His presence and rest our weary souls in quiet contemplation of Him. Our groanings, which cannot be uttered, rise to Him and tell Him better than words how dependent we are upon Him.

Ole Hallesby

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:7
The King James Version

The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.

This Day’s Thought-Friday

Those talents which God has bestowed upon us are not our own goods but the free gifts of God; and any persons who become proud of them show their ungratefulness.

John Calvin

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

One good man, one man who does not put on his religion once a week with his Sunday coat, but wears it for his working dress, and lets the thought of God grow into him, and through and through him, till everything he says and does becomes religious, that man is worth a thousand sermons—he is a living Gospel—he comes in the spirit and power of Elias—he is the image of God. And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God’s grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.

Charles Kingsley

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1
The New King James Version

Know all and you will pardon all.

Thomas Kempis

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Therefore once for all this short command is given to you. “Love and do what you will.” If you keep silent, keep silent by love; if you speak, speak by love; if you correct, correct by love; if you pardon, pardon by love: let love be rooted in you, and from the root nothing but good can grow.

Augustine

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion; for lo, I come and I will dwell in the midst of you, says the Lord.

Zechariah 2:10
The Revised Standard Version

May your heart sing as you embrace what you were created to be and do.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

I am disposed to say grace upon twenty other occasions in the course of the day besides my dinner. I want a form for setting out upon a pleasant walk, for a moonlight ramble, for a friendly meeting or a solved problem.

Charles Lamb

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 1:6
The English Standard Version

I have more trouble with D. L. Moody than with any other man I ever met.

D. L. Moody

August 8, 2022 by Greg

This Day’s Thought-Monday

A life devoted unto God, looking wholly unto Him in all our actions, and doing all things suitably to His glory, is so far from being dull and uncomfortable, that it creates new comforts in everything that we do.

William Law

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Psalm 33:9
The King James Version

It is possible to live for the next life and be merry in this.
