This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss; he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

Thomas Brooks

Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

This life therefore is not righteousness but growth in righteousness; not health but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not what we shall be but we are growing toward it; the process is not yet finished but its is going on; this is not the end but it is the road. All does not yet gleam in glory but all is being purified.

Martin Luther

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 18:2
The English Standard Version

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1
The New King James Version

There are two ways to get to the top of an oak tree: catch that first limb and climb or find a good healthy acorn, sit on it and wait.

God never does anything to you that isn’t for you.

But the salvation of the righteous is from the Lord; He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked, And save them, Because they trust in Him.

Psalm 37:39-40
The New King James Version

Kind hearts are the garden,
Kind thoughts are the roots,
Kind words are the flowers,
Kind deeds are the fruits.

And keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine,
Kind words, and Kind deeds.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Before God can deliver us we must undeceive ourselves.

Augustine of Hippo

But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. Then, when our dying bodies have been transformed into bodies that will never die, this Scripture will be fulfilled: “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”

1 Corinthians 15:51-55
The New Living Translation
