This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

The highest and most satisfactory expression which the New Testament reaches for the true understanding of Jesus is to call him the Word of God: he is God’s means of communication with the world, God’s rational address to mankind.

Alan Richardson

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;

Lamentations 3:22

We are all strings in the concert of his joy.

Never listen to accounts of the frailties of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak of him at all.

John of the Cross

The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.

Prayer should never be regarded as a science or reduced to a system—that ruins it, because it is essentially a living and personal relationship, which tends to become more personal and also more simple, as one goes on.

Evelyn Underhill

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity. Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today.

A. W. Tozer

He will give eternal life to those who patiently do the will of God, seeking for the unseen glory and honor and eternal life that he offers.

Romans 2:7
The Living Bible

We are mirrors whose brightness is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us.

C. S. Lewis

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without His constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, “Forsake me not, O Lord.” Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe.”

C. H. Spurgeon

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Romans 8:10

The created world is but a small parenthesis in eternity.

Thomas Browne

And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

1 John 3:3
The English Standard Version

What is intended as a little white lie often ends up as a double feature in technicolor.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Lord, thou knowest better than I know myself that I am growing older. Keep me from getting too talkative, and thinking I must say something on every subject and on every occasion. Release me from craving to straighten out everybody’s affairs. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally it is possible that I may be mistaken. Make me thoughtful, but not moody; helpful, but not bossy; thou knowest, Lord, that what I want most is a few friends at the end.

“Go and inquire of the Lord for me and for the remnant in Israel and Judah about what is written in this book that has been found. Great is the Lord’s anger that is poured out on us because those who have gone before us have not kept the word of the Lord; they have not acted in accordance with all that is written in this book.”

2 Chronicles 34:21
The New International Version

All our history proves that God may be understood, not by reasoning, but by submission to Him and obeyance to His laws. Only by doing this can we understand His will on earth.

John Ruskin

Then they were glad because they had quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven.

You may need to lose everything to find that God is all you need.

“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he yearns.”

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

O troubled soul, beneath the rod,
Your Father speaks, be still, be still;
Learn to be silent unto God,
And let Him mold you to His will.
O praying soul, be still, be still,
He cannot break His promised Word;
Sink down into His blessed will,
And wait in patience on the Lord.
O waiting soul, be still, be strong,
And though He tarry, trust and wait;
Doubt not, He will not wait too long,
Fear not, He will not come too late.

Albert B. Simpson

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
