This Day's Thought

Thou art the true peace of the heart, Thou art its only rest; out of Thee all things are full of trouble and difficulty. In this peace, that is, in Thee, the one sovereign eternal Good, I will sleep and take my rest. Amen.

Thomas à Kempis

Acts 13:47-48

This Day's Thought

Peace comes when there is no cloud between us and God. Peace is the consequence of forgiveness, God’s removal of that which obscures His face and so breaks union with Him. The happy sequence culminating in fellowship with God is penitence, pardon, and peace—the first we offer, the second we accept, and the third we inherit.

Charles H. Brent

This Day's Verse

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

Psalm 139:23-24
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Faith is putting all your eggs in God’s basket, then counting your blessings before they hatch.

There can be no surer way to success than by disclaiming all confidence in ourselves, and referring the events of things to God with an implicit affiance.

Francis Atterbury

This Day's Verse

Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.

Lamentations 5:21
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

Thou hast touched me and I have been translated into thy peace.

This Day's Thought

The Christian has a deep, silent, hidden peace, which the world sees not, like some well in a retired and shady place. What he is when left to himself and to his God, that is his true life.

John Henry Newman

This Day's Verse

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Matthew 11:28
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Authentic religion is not a theology test.  It’s a love test.

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

“My peace I give unto you”; it is a peace all over from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet, an irrepressible confidence.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 104:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The story is told of a poor man who plodded along toward home in an Irish town carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon carrying a stranger came along, and the stranger stopped the wagon and invited the man on foot to climb inside. This the poor man did, but when he sat down in the wagon he held the bag of potatoes in his arms. And when it was suggested that he should set it down, he said very warmly: “Sir, I don’t like to trouble you too much. You’re giving me a ride. I’ll carry the potatoes!” Sometimes we think we are doing the Lord a favor when we carry the burden. But the work is His, and the burden is His, and He asks us only to be faithful.

This Day's Verse

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

Job 22:21
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Fulfillment doesn’t automatically happen as a result of linking up with the “right” person, job, or even ministry.  Fulfillment happens as a result of being in God’s will.
