This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.

Robert Caspar Lintner

With praise and thanksgiving they sang to the Lord: “He is good; his love toward Israel endures forever.” And all the people gave a great shout of praise to the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.

Ezra 3:11
The New International Version

Thanksgiving, to be truly thanksgiving, is first thanks, then giving.

Although one can derive inspiration from any portion of the Scripture, it is better to have an understanding of the general structure of the Bible to get the most out of it. The Old Testament is an account of a nation, Israel. Out of that nation came Jesus Christ, the Saviour of our world. The New Testament is an account of a Man, the Son of Man, the Saviour. God Himself became a man, so that we might know what He is like. His appearance on the earth was the central, most important event of history. The Old Testament gives the background for this event; the New Testament tells the story of its fulfillment. You will find a unity of thought and purpose which indicates that one mind inspired the writing of the whole.

Billy Graham

Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.

Psalm 90:1-2

We talk about God’s remembering us, as if it were a special effort. But if we could only know how truly we belong to God, it would be different. God’s remembrance of us is the natural claiming of our life by Him as true part of His own.

Phillips Brooks

Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.

Isaiah 58:8
The New International Version

Walk cheerfully over the world, answering that of God in everyone.

This Day’s Thought-Friday

Take away anything I have, but do not take away the sweetness of walking and talking with the King of Glory! It is good to let our thoughts run away with us sometimes, concerning the greatness of our God and His marvelous kindness to us. As we look back, what wonderful leadings and providences we see; what encouragement we find for the future.

John Stam

“The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.”

2 Chronicles 15:2
The New King James Version

Where there is faith, there is love;
Where there is love, there is peace;
Where there is peace, there is God;
Where there is God, there is no need.

Leo Tolstoy

He teaches patience—by being gentle and understanding over and over.
He teaches honesty—by keeping his promises to his family even when it costs.
He teaches courage—by living unafraid, with faith, in all circumstances.
He teaches justice—by being fair and dealing equally with everyone.
Every father can teach Christian principles.
He teaches kindness—by being thoughtful and gracious even at home.

After you have suffered a little while, our God, who is full of kindness through Christ, will give you his eternal glory. He personally will come and pick you up, and set you firmly in place, and make you stronger than ever. To him be all power over all things, forever and ever. Amen.

Contemplation involves all of life. It is a twenty-four-hour-a-day job.

Richard J. Foster

Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them, for their hearts devise violence, and their lips talk of trouble.

Proverbs 24:1-2

What if God is asking us for a sign?

In the cross is health, in the cross is life, in the cross is protection from enemies, in the cross is heavenly sweetness, in the cross strength of mind, in the cross joy of the Spirit, in the cross the height of virtue, in the cross perfection of holiness. There is no health of the soul, no hope of eternal life, save in the cross.

Thomas a Kempis

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me. He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

Psalm 57:2-3
The King James Version

Christ is the Head of this house,
The unseen Guest at every meal,
The silent Listener to every conversation.

Unknown

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may accomplish my course and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

Acts 20:24
The Revised Standard Version

These are the things I prize
And hold of dearest worth:
Light of the sapphire skies,
Peace of the silent hills,
Shelter of the forest, comfort of the grass,
Music of birds, murmur of little rills,
Shadows of clouds that swiftly pass,
And, after showers,
The smell of flowers
And of the good brown earth—
And best of all, along the way, friendship and mirth.

Henry van Dyke

I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God.

Helen Keller

My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Proverbs 24:13-14
The English Standard Version

The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.

Martin Luther

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers he uses to crush us with. If God would only use his own fingers and make us broken bread and poured out wine in a special way! But when he uses someone whom we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, and makes those the crushers, we object.

Oswald Chambers

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Psalm 39:12-13
The King James Version
