This Day’s Thought-Friday

God is in control. He is never surprised by events that surprise us. Neither is He worried over world conditions. We rest in Him who is Lord of all. His grace, mercy, and loving-kindness overwhelm us.

Leslie B. Flynn

For none of us lives for ourselves alone, and none of us dies for ourselves alone. If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

Romans 14:7-8
The New International Version

God makes a promise. Faith believes it. Hope anticipates it. Patience quietly awaits it.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Religion holds the solution to all problems of human relationship, whether they are between parents and children or nation and nation. Sooner or later, man has always had to decide whether he worships his own power or the power of God.

Arnold Toynbee

But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 1:30-31
The New King James Version

Often, in the midst of great problems, we stop short of the real blessing God has for us, which is a fresh vision of who He is.

A man who lives right, and is right, has more power in his silence than another has by his words.

Phillips Brooks

You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.

Think about it: It is easy to see God’s beauty in a glorious sunset or in ocean waves crashing on a beach. But can you find the holiness in a struggle for life?

Harold S. Kushner

“The poor and needy search for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched with thirst. But I the Lord will answer them; I, the God of Israel, will not forsake them.”

This Day’s Thought-Monday

The time we spend in having our daily audience with God is the most precious part of the whole day.

Mother Teresa

Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

This Day’s Thought-Friday

The real secret of an unsatisfied life lies too often in an unsurrendered will.

J. Hudson Taylor

Let the husband render to his wife the affection due her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

1 Corinthians 7:3

Each day of our lives we make despots in the memory banks of our children.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and God is shining through it all the time. This is not just a fable or a nice story. It is true. If we abandon ourselves to God and forget ourselves, we see it sometimes, and we see it maybe frequently. God is manifest everywhere, in everything—in people and in things and in nature and in events. It becomes very obvious that God is everywhere and in everything and we cannot be without God. It’s impossible. It’s simply impossible.

Thomas Merton

My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.

Psalm 145:21
The New International Version

God’s Heart is especially tender toward the downtrodden and the defeated. He knows your name and He has seen every tear you have shed.

James Dobson

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for extraordinary destiny.

C. S. Lewis

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

Isaiah 57:2
The King James Version

The word “IF” is often highly significant. Think how different it would have been:
If you had only kept silent.
If you had listened to good advice.
If you had been more patient.
If you had frankly apologized.
If you had acted with prudence.
If you had shunned that bad investment.
If you had shown more sympathy.
If you had taken daily exercise.
If you had avoided that accident.
If you had started early.
If you had not run into debt.
If you had always been on time.
If you had promptly declined.
If you had controlled your temper.
If you had put it into writing.
If you had said the right word.
If you had eaten in moderation.
If you had stayed at home.
If you had not blundered.
If you had been industrious.
If you had guarded your health.
If you had recognized your fault.
If you had simply agreed.
If you had daily prayed.
If you had persevered.
If you had given more generously.
If you had not been stubborn.

Faith is the one area in our lives where growing up means we must grow to be more like a child, trusting simply in the goodness and complete knowledge of a Father who has our best interests at heart.

Colleen Townsend Evans

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

Ephesians 1:3
The Revised Standard Version

If you have so much business to attend to that you have no time to pray, depend upon it, you have more business on hand than God ever intended you should have.

D. L. Moody

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Solitude begins with a time and place for God, and him alone. If we really believe not only that God exists, but that he is actively present in our lives—healing, teaching, and guiding—we need to set aside a time and space to give him our undivided attention.

Henri Nouwen

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

Proverbs 16:32
The English Standard Version

Perhaps those who say they didn’t get a thing out of the sermon didn’t bring anything in which to take it home.

N. A. Prichard
