The level of fear you feel about death is the level of your understanding of life. The less you fear death, the more you possess freedom, tranquillity, and an understanding of the greatness of your spirit and the joy of life. The understanding of eternity is part of the nature of the human soul.
Leo Tolstoy
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
James 3:17

My situation is urgent, and I cannot see how I will ever be delivered. Yet this is not my concern, for He who made the promise will find a way to keep it. My part is simply to obey His commands, not to direct His ways. I am His servant, not His advisor. I call upon Him and He will deliver me.
Charles H. Spurgeon
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

God was making you ten billion years ago, and he knew what he was doing: setting up a world you could live in and lining up an ancestry for you. He is making you now, and knows what he is doing. He will be making you ten billion years from now, and knowing what he is doing.
Carroll E. Simcox

Ministry Update…We have added an A-Z index on our “Favorite Quotes” page so that you may find it easier to navigate and find your favorite Christian authors and quotations. Our current collection stands at over 2700 of our very best quotes from the 20 years that we have been sharing.
We now plan to offer a printed version of the collection the summer of 2020, that should coincide with us reaching 3000 of the very best in Christian thought.
And as we continue to examine various archived collections, we do have a question for any ministry members who started with us those 20 years ago. We are experiencing difficulty reviving past shared quotations from the years of 2000, 2001 and 2003 as some of our files have been lost. If any of you, who go back that far with us, have saved any of our daily messages or content, we would certainly appreciate hearing from you as we attempt to reconstruct some of that lost material.
As always, thank you all for your continued participation in this ministry. And we so value your prayers for This Day’s Thought…for the Lord’s guidance, as we go forward together!
In His Love, Greg for This Day’s Thought
The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become—because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be…It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.
C. S. Lewis
But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

The wrath of God is never thought of in scripture as opposed to his holiness. It is a necessary part of it. Christ would have lost my soul if he had not refused to compromise with me.
Arthur J. Gossip
Listen, my son, and be wise, and set your heart on the right path: Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.
Proverbs 23:19-21
The New International Version
I don’t think there is any better worship than wonder.

I realized Christians have been practicing a form of meditation for centuries. It’s called contemplative prayer, sitting quietly in God’s presence rather than coming to him with a laundry list of requests. I tried it. It felt strange at first. A bit boring and frustrating. Thoughts and fears clamored noisily as I sat. The more I did it, the more the clamor fell away and I felt myself surrounded by something I had never experienced before. A loving present larger than my fretful mind. Larger than my pain. Larger than everything.
Jonathan Merritt
I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
Genesis 32:10

Peace may be translated “harmony.” Harmony with one’s self is integrity; harmony with life itself is gratitude; harmony with people is brotherhood; harmony with God is faith. All this adds up to the meaning of peace. It is the gift of Christ.
Oscar F. Blackwelder
“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
