Faith, Trust & Belief

This Day's Thought

Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart. There is a better way. It is to repudiate our own wisdom and take instead the infinite wisdom of God. Our insistence upon seeing ahead is natural enough, but it is a real hindrance to our spiritual progress. God has charged himself with full responsibility for our eternal happiness and stands ready to take over the management of our lives the moment we turn in faith to him.

A. W. Tozer

This Day's Verse

One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

Psalm 27:4
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.

This Day's Thought

When someone tells me that he has never had a moment of probing religious doubt I find myself wondering whether he had ever known a moment of vital religious conviction.

Real true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength.

D. L. Moody

This Day's Verse

“For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

Isaiah 54:10
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

I could not be interested in any man’s religion if his knowledge of God did not bring him more joy, did not brighten his life, did not make him want to carry this joy into every dark corner of the world. I have no understanding of a long-faced Christian. If God is anything, He must be joy.

A positive thing; in Joy one does not only feel secure, but something goes out from one’s self to the universe, a warm, possessive effluence of love.

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.

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
The New Living Translation

When the spirit of prayer began to be lost, then forms of prayer were invented, and, I believe, the same observation will hold good as to preaching.

For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”

Study universal holiness of life.  Your whole usefulness depends on this….Give yourself to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God.  Luther spent his best three hours in prayer.

He who knows no hardships will know no hardihood.  He who faces no calamity will need no courage.  Mysterious though it is, the characteristics in human nature which we love best grow in a soil with a strong mixture of troubles.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

This Day's Verse

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Hebrews 6:12
The King James Version
