This Day’s Thought-Thursday

THANKSGIVING

For the old sweet fashions of nature,
For the ritual of the seasons,
The wonder of seed-time and harvest;
And the sky over all,
Deepening as we gaze—
Let us give thanks.

For the flowers of divine grace and human kindness;
For the love that heals our hurts,
And the mercy that lifts us when we fall—
Let us give thanks.

For the thorns that require careful handling,
For the disciplines that train us for strength and honor,
For the sorrows that subdue to sobs and weld us in love to our kind—
Let us give thanks.

For our county and its laws.
For home and family and dear love of comrades
And for all who interpret to us the way and will of the Eternal.
Let us give thanks.

Jesse Halsey

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

Psalm 100:4
The New International Version

No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks.

Ambrose of Milan

Let us be thankful on Thanksgiving Day! Nature is beautiful; fellowmen are dear; duty is close beside us; and God is over all.

Phillips Brooks

And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the Lord; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid.

Ezra 3:11
The King James Version

Were thanks with every gift expressed,
Each day would be Thanksgiving;
Were gratitude its very best,
Each life would be Thanksgiving.

Some of us are as dead to the perception of God’s gracious call, just because it has been sounded on uninterruptedly, as are the dwellers by a waterfall to its unremitting voice.

Alexander MacLaren

Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.

Isaiah 26:12
The New International Version

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

One way to define spiritual life is getting so tired and fed up with yourself you go on to something better, which is following Jesus.

Eugene Peterson

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7
The King James Version

Meekness is power under control.

The Bible’s strength is in its power to interpret life in terms of its tragedy and its glory. The Bible frankly speaks of sin, not to belittle man, but to reveal it to him, bring him to himself, and offer him forgiveness and new life. Thus is man remade.

Elmer George Homrighausen

“King David quoted Jesus as saying: ‘I know the Lord is always with me. He is helping me. God’s mighty power supports me.’”

Acts 2:25
The Living Bible

When we put our cares in His hands,
He puts His peace in our hearts.

A little schoolboy living in the most poverty-stricken part of a great city found his way into a mission Sunday school and became a Christian. Not long after someone tried to shake his faith by asking him some puzzling questions: “If God really loves you, why doesn’t He take better care of you? Why doesn’t He tell someone to send you a pair of shoes?” Thinking a moment, with tears rushing suddenly to his eyes, he replied: “I think He does tell somebody, but they are not listening.” Are we listening to that still small voice of God? If you know someone who is in need, express your gratitude by sharing with them. Try it—just once.

Unknown

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:9
The English Standard Version

Some prayers are followed by silence because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than we can understand.

Oswald Chambers

What a vast distance there is between knowing God and loving him!

Blaise Pascal

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

John 10:27-29
The King James Version

“Will the road you’re on get you to my place?” God.

I took up that word Love, and I do not know how many weeks I spent in studying the passages in which it occurs, till at last I could not help loving people. I had been feeding on love so long that I was anxious to do everybody good I came in contact with. I got full of it. It ran out my fingers. You take up the subject of love in the Bible! You will get so full of it that all you have to do is to open your lips, and a flood of the Love of God flows out.

D. L. Moody

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

Matthew 6:5-6
The English Standard Version

Faith is to believe what you do not yet see, the reward for this faith is to see what you believe.

Augustine

This age needs a new inoculation of the Bible. It is the tonic we need when our hope “Blood count” is low. If we could take into our systems more of its good cheer, its poise, its courage, its quiet confidence in the long processes of life, it would act for us as the keel does for the ship; it would hold us steady in the time of storm, and keep us from bobbing aimlessly around.

Albert William Beaven

Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22
The New King James Version

Accept whatever He gives, and give whatever He takes, with a big smile.

Mother Teresa

If you don’t take a Sabbath, something is wrong. You’re doing too much, you’re being too much in charge. You’ve got to quit, one day a week, and just watch what God is doing when you’re not doing anything.

Eugene Peterson

The hope of good men is eternal happiness; the hopes of evil men are all in vain.

Proverbs 10:28
The Living Bible

Miss no single opportunity of making some small sacrifice, here by a smiling look, there by a kindly word; always doing the smallest things right, and doing all for love.

Therese of Lisieux
