This Day’s Thought-Friday


This Day's Thought

Many favors which God gives us ravel out for want of hemming through our unthankfulness; for, though prayer purchases blessings, giving praise keeps the quiet possession of them.

Thomas Fuller


This Day's Verse

“The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me; to one who orders his way rightly I will show the salvation of God!”

Psalm 50:23
The English Standard Version


This Day's Smile

Rest and be thankful.

This Day's Thought

Thanksgiving is nothing if not a glad and reverent lifting of the heart to God in honour and praise for His goodness.

James R. Miller


This Day's Verse

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name!

Psalm 100:4
The Revised Standard Version


This Day's Reprise

O, heavenly Father: we thank thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank thee for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service,
That thy gifts to us may be used for others.
Amen.

This Day's Thought

John Henry Jowett said: “Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.” This is a most searching and true diagnosis. Gratitude can be a vaccine that can prevent the invasion of a disgruntled attitude. As antitoxins prevent the disastrous effects of certain poisons and diseases, Thanksgiving destroys the poison of faultfinding and grumbling. When trouble has smitten us, a spirit of thanksgiving is a soothing anti-septic.

Clinton C. Cox


This Day's Verse

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

Nehemiah 12:46
The King James Version


This Day's Smile

A real Thanksgiving is celebrated in real thanksgiving.

This Day's Thought

Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him.  Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.

Thomas à Kempis


This Day's Verse

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;

Galatians 5:22-23
The English Standard Version


This Day's Reprise

Too many clergymen have become keepers of an aquarium instead of fishers of men—and often they are just swiping each other’s fish.

This Day's Thought

We don’t need more strength than the strength God gives us.  We don’t need more knowledge than we already have.  All we need is the will to do what needs to be done.

Charles Swindoll

O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Simplicity reaches out after God; purity discovers and enjoys him.

Thomas à Kempis


This Day's Verse

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.
