This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

We bless God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gathers together in one the children of God that are scattered abroad. We are divided from one another not only in matters of faith, order, and tradition, but also by pride of nation, class, and race. But Christ has made us one, and He is not divided. In seeking Him we find one another.

First Assembly of the World Council of Churches

But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control; and here there is no conflict with Jewish laws.

Brother Lawrence

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

1 Peter 2:24
The English Standard Version

Dear God, even when we do not heed the sun, there is still the moon and the stars and the lamp on a winter’s evening—there is so much beautiful light in the world.

This Day’s Thought-Friday

Look for strengths in people, not weaknesses; for good, not evil. Most of us find what we search for.

J. Wilbur Chapman

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Heavenly Father, I am sorry for the things I have done wrong in my life. [Take a few moments to ask His forgiveness for anything particular that is on your conscious.] Please forgive me. I now turn from everything that I know is wrong. Thank you that You sent Your Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for me so that I could be forgiven and set free. From now on I will follow and obey Him as my Lord. Thank you that You now offer me this gift of forgiveness and Your Spirit. I now receive that gift. Please come into my life by Your Holy Spirit to be with me forever. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Oswald Chambers

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Speak in my words today, think in my thoughts and work in all my deeds. And seeing that it is Your gracious will to make us even of such weak human instruments in the fulfillment of Your mighty purpose for the world, let my life today be the channel through which some little portion of Your divine love and pity may reach the lives that are nearest to my own.

John Baillie

But now God has shown us a different way to heaven—not by “being good enough” and trying to keep his laws, but by a new way (though not new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago). Now God says he will accept and acquit us—declare us “not guilty”—if we trust Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, by coming to Christ, no matter who we are or what we have been like.

Romans 3:21-22
The Living Bible

Man still wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.

Augustine

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
The New International Version

People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they never use.

Soren Kierkegaard

This Day’s Thought-Friday

God is nearer to us than our own soul, for he is the ground in which it stands.

Julian of Norwich

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Isaiah 40:28
The English Standard Version

Thank You, dear God
For all You have given me
For all You have taken away from me
For all You have left me.

The most beautiful people I have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. Those people have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern…Beautiful people do not just happen.

Ray Nichols

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

The reward of patience is patience.

Augustine

It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
The New International Version

Our work-a-day lives are filled with opportunities to bless others. The power of a single glance or an encouraging smile must never be underestimated.

G. Richard Rieger
