We should not only understand the importance of our waiting on God but also realize something even more wonderful—the Lord waits on us. And the very thought of His waiting on us will give us renewed motivation and inspiration to “wait for Him.” It will also provide inexpressible confidence that our waiting will never be in vain. God knows He cannot gather the fruit until it is ripe, and He knows precisely when we are spiritually ready to receive blessings for our gain and His glory.
L. B. Cowman
But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Prayer is the test of everything; prayer is also the source of everything; prayer is the driving force of everything; prayer is also the director of everything. If prayer is right, everything is right. For prayer will not allow anything to go wrong.
Theophan the Recluse

The level of fear you feel about death is the level of your understanding of life. The less you fear death, the more you possess freedom, tranquillity, and an understanding of the greatness of your spirit and the joy of life. The understanding of eternity is part of the nature of the human soul.
Leo Tolstoy
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

My situation is urgent, and I cannot see how I will ever be delivered. Yet this is not my concern, for He who made the promise will find a way to keep it. My part is simply to obey His commands, not to direct His ways. I am His servant, not His advisor. I call upon Him and He will deliver me.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

God was making you ten billion years ago, and he knew what he was doing: setting up a world you could live in and lining up an ancestry for you. He is making you now, and knows what he is doing. He will be making you ten billion years from now, and knowing what he is doing.
Carroll E. Simcox

Ministry Update…We have added an A-Z index on our “Favorite Quotes” page so that you may find it easier to navigate and find your favorite Christian authors and quotations. Our current collection stands at over 2700 of our very best quotes from the 20 years that we have been sharing.
We now plan to offer a printed version of the collection the summer of 2020, that should coincide with us reaching 3000 of the very best in Christian thought.
And as we continue to examine various archived collections, we do have a question for any ministry members who started with us those 20 years ago. We are experiencing difficulty reviving past shared quotations from the years of 2000, 2001 and 2003 as some of our files have been lost. If any of you, who go back that far with us, have saved any of our daily messages or content, we would certainly appreciate hearing from you as we attempt to reconstruct some of that lost material.
As always, thank you all for your continued participation in this ministry. And we so value your prayers for This Day’s Thought…for the Lord’s guidance, as we go forward together!
In His Love, Greg for This Day’s Thought
The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become—because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be…It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.
C. S. Lewis
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Psalm 5:7
