This Day’s Thought-Thursday

For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage, or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.

Andy Rooney

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!

Pearl S. Buck

Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

Hebrews 9:15
The English Standard Version

Open your eyes and the whole world is full of God.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Resolved, to live with all my might while I do live….
Resolved, never to do anything which I should despise or think meanly of in another;
Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

Jonathan Edwards

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

Job 36:22

God has given us two hands—one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

Billy Graham

“The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17
The New International Version

You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do.

God’s voice is often still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamor.

Charles Stanley

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.”

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Everything we are given and everything we are deprived of is nothing but a finger pointing out the direction of God’s hidden promise which we shall taste in full.

Henri Nouwen

“Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.”

2 Chronicles 6:14
The New International Version

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

We pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, small (and yet really not small) gifts.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

Proverbs 11:19
The King James Version

I set myself on fire and people come to watch me burn.

John Wesley

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

God allows us to have disappointments, frustrations, or even worse because He wants us to see that our joy is not in such worldly pleasures as success or money or popularity or health or sex or even in a miracle-working faith; our joy is in the fact that we have a relationship with God. Few of us ever understand that message until circumstances have divested us of any possibility of help except by God Himself.

Catherine Marshall

“Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.”

Isaiah 3:10
The New King James Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Do we carry about with us a sense of God? Do we carry the thought of Him with us wherever we go? If not, we have missed the greatest part of life. Do we have the feeling and conviction of God’s abiding presence wherever we go?

Henry Drummond

In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears.

Psalm 18:6
The English Standard Version

In the external scheme of things, shining moments are as brief as the twinkling of an eye, yet such twinklings are what eternity is made of—moments when we human beings can say, “I love you,” “I’m proud of you,” “I forgive you,” “I’m grateful for you.” That’s what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff.

Fred Rogers
