This Day’s Thought-William Law: He that seeks God…

He that seeks God in everything is sure to find God in everything. When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself.

William Law

This Day’s Thought-J. H. Jowett: It is in the field of prayer…

I fear God, yet am not afraid of him.

Thomas Browne

Haven’t you yet learned that your body is the home of the Holy Spirit God gave you, and that he lives within you? Your own body does not belong to you. For God has bought you with a great price. So use every part of your body to give glory back to God because he owns it.

This Day’s Thought-Edward John Carnell: Human beings cannot…

Human beings cannot probe the mind of God by asking themselves what they would do if they were God. They are men and not God. And if they are virtuous men, they will wait for God to reveal himself under conditions of his own choosing.

Edward John Carnell
