This Day’s Thought-Thursday

We cannot pray and remain the same. We cannot pray and have our homes remain the same. We cannot pray and have the world about us remain the same. God has decreed to act in response to prayer. “Ask,” he commands us. And Satan trembles in fear we will.

Ruth Bell Graham

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1

By reading the scriptures I am so renewed that all nature seems renewed around me and with me. The sky seems to be a pure, a cooler blue, the trees a deeper green. The whole world is charged with the glory of God and I feel fire and music under my feet.

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Death destroys the body, as the scaffolding is destroyed after the building is up and finished. And he whose building is up rejoices as the destruction of the scaffolding and of the body.

Leo Tolstoy

Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.

Proverbs 16:3

Thy joy and crown eternally.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Fatih is a living thing. It is like a plant that needs constant feeding. If we take daily and active steps to nourish our faith we shall find ourselves kept in God’s peace and love, whatever storms may be raging around us. It is only as we spend time worshipping God, concentrating on the nature of his Person, especially his greatness and love, that our faith begins to rise.

David Watson

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

Romans 3:23-24
The English Standard Version

If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you do not like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourselves.

Augustine

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.

George Washington

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people He has chosen as His own inheritance.

Psalm 33:12
The New King James Version

Dependence upon God makes heroes of ordinary people like you and me!

This Day’s Thought-Friday

God does not want to be at the top of our list of important people and things. He wants to be at the center of them all, since they all revolve around him anyway.

Ron DiCianni

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5
The New King James Version

The eagle that soars in the upper air does not worry itself as to how it is to cross rivers.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

If you are a Christian, you are now the sworn foe of the legions of hell. Have no delusions about their reality or their hostility. But do not fear them. The God inside you terrifies them. They cannot touch you, let alone hurt you. But they can still seduce and they will try. They will also oppose you as you obey Christ. If you are serious about Christ being your Lord and God, you can expect opposition. But life with Jesus can be an exhilarating and reassuring experience of constant triumph over evil forces.

John White

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9
The King James Version

The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick along side it.

D. L. Moody

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Whatever is your best time in the day, give that to communion with God.

J. Hudson Taylor

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Philippians 4:8-9
The New Living Translation

The service of Christ is the business of my life.
The will of Christ is the law of my life.
The presence of Christ is the joy of my life.
The glory of Christ is the crown of my life.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Our prayers often resemble the mischievous tricks of town children, who knock at their neighbor’s houses and then run away; we often knock at heaven’s door and then run off into the spirit of the world; instead of waiting for entrance and answer, we act as if we were afraid of having our prayers answered.

William Williams

he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit,

Titus 3:5
The Revised Standard Version

One is given strength to bear what happens to one, but not the 100 and 1 different things that might happen.

This Day’s Thought-Monday

The words of the Lord are seeds sown in our hearts by the sower. They have to fall into our hearts to grow. Meditation and prayer must water them and obedience keep them in the light. Thus they will bear fruit for the Lord’s gathering.

George MacDonald

Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!

Psalm 150:1-2
The English Standard Version

Anchor to the throne of God, and then shorten the rope!
