This Day's Thought

In the early years of Christian experience he often meets our needs in striking ways in order to strengthen and confirm our new and weak faith.  But the more experience of his goodness and faithfulness we have, the more he is able to test and develop our faith by teaching us long-suffering and the assurance to wait patiently.

Hannah Hurnard

This Day's Thought

In natural matters faith follows evidence and is impossible without it, but in the reality of the spirit, faith precedes understanding; it does not follow it.  The natural man must know in order to believe; the spiritual man must believe in order to know.

A. W. Tozer

This Day’s Thought-Thursday


This Day's Thought

Every day let us renew the consecration to God’s service.  Every day let us, in His strength, pledge ourselves afresh to do His will, even in the veriest trifle, and to turn aside from anything that may displease Him… He does not bid us bear the burdens of tomorrow, next week, or next year.  Every day we are to come to Him in simple obedience and faith, asking help to keep us and aid us through that day’s work.  Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, through years of long tomorrows, it will be but the same thing to do; leaving the future always in God’s hands, sure that He can care for it better than we.  Blessed trust!  That can thus confidingly say, “This hour is mine with its present duty; the next is God’s, and when it comes, His presence will come with it.”

Unknown


This Day's Verse

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.

Ephesians 3:14-19
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Thought

If you examined one hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have been reasoned out of it by honest argument?  Do not most people simply drift away?

C. S. Lewis


This Day's Verse

My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him,

2 Chronicles 29:11
The King James Version


This Day's Smile

I do not understand the digestive system, but I eat.  I don’t understand all about our respiratory system, but I continue to breathe.  So it is with faith.

This Day’s Thought-Monday


This Day's Thought

If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.  It would be like God to make the most vital thing easy and place it within the range of possibility for the weakest and poorest of us.

A. W. Tozer


This Day's Verse

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.

Psalm 63:3
The New King James Version


This Day's Smile

If thou wouldst preserve a sound body, use fasting and walking; if a healthful soul, fasting and prayer.  Walking exercises the body; praying exercises the soul; fasting cleanses both.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday


This Day's Thought

Strive to see God in all things without exception, and acquiesce in His will with absolute submission.  Do everything for God, uniting yourself to Him by a mere upward glance, or by the overflowing of your heart towards Him.  Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.  Do not lose your inward peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.  Commend all to God, and then lie still and be at rest in His bosom.  Whatever happens, abide steadfast in a determination to cling simply to God, trusting to His eternal love for you; and if you find that you have wandered forth from this shelter, recall your heart quietly and simply.  Maintain a holy simplicity of mind, and do not smother yourself with a host of cares, wishes, or longings, under any pretext.

Francis de Sales


This Day's Verse

I will direct all his ways:

Isaiah 45:13
The King James Version

What we believe about God is the most important thing about us.
