All men desire peace, but few desire the things that make for peace.

Thomas a Kempis

The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.

Psalm 19:7
The King James Version

I did nothing. The Word did it all. I simply taught, preached, wrote God’s Word, otherwise I did nothing. And while I slept and drank Wittenberg beer with Philipp and Amsdorf, the Word weakened all who opposed me.

Unless you can read the story of Adam and Eve, of Abraham and Sarah, of David and Bathsheba, as your own story, you have not really understood it. The Bible is a book finally about ourselves, our own apostasies, our own battles and blessings.

Frederick Buechner

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.

James 1:12-13

The farther we go along the path of God, the more angels we shall encounter.

H. C. Moolenburgh

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”

Matthew 25:35-40
The English Standard Version

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

We may desire to bring to the Lord a perfect work. We would like to point, when our work is done, to the beautiful ripened grain, and bound-up sheaves, and yet the Lord frustrates our plans, shatters our purposes, lets us see the wreck of all our hopes, breaks the beautiful structure we thought we were building and catches us up in his arms and whispers to us, “It’s not your work I wanted, but you.”

Unknown

Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.

If I am in sickness,
my sickness may serve Him;
If I am in sorrow,
my sorrow may serve Him.
He does nothing in vain,
He knows what He is about.

John Henry Newman

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.

John 21:25
The New International Version

Sin is my nature, the only thing I know how to do.

Brother Lawrence

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Nothing is ever wasted in the kingdom of God. Not one tear, not all our pain, not the unanswered prayers…nothing will be wasted if we give our lives to God. And if we are willing to be patient until the grace of God is made manifest, whether it takes one year or ninety, it will be worth the wait.

Rebecca Manley Pippert

Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.

2 John 1:9

When we pray, it is far more important to pray with a sense of the greatness of God than with a sense of the greatness of the problem.

Evangeline Blood

Sorrow is better than laughter, For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.

Ecclesiastes 7:3
The New King James Version

Life with Christ is endless love; without Him it is a loveless end.
