This doctrine of God’s good will towards men, this command of men’s proportionable good will to one another, is not this the very body and substance, this the very spirit and life, of our Saviour’s whole institution?
Thomas Sprat
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Proverbs 2:20-22
The King James Version
For a man to argue, “I do not go to church; I pray alone,” is no wiser than if he should say, “I have no use for symphonies; I believe only in solo music.”

We are born homesick, every one of us. We who live in this fractured world have eternity written on our hearts; we are longing to be home and are digging the tent pegs of our lives in as deep as we can get them until we arrive on eternity’s shores.
Lore Wilbert
“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly.”
Matthew 6:1-4
The New King James Version
Have confidence in God’s mercy, for when you think He is a long way from you, He is often quite near.

The problem with Western Christians is not that they aren’t where they should be but that they aren’t what they should be where they are.

Prayer is the most perfect and most divine action that a rational soul is capable of. It is of all actions and duties the most indispensably necessary.
Augustine
And He shall be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Isaiah 33:6
The New American Standard Bible
When God is about to do something great, he starts with a difficulty. When he is about to do something truly magnificent, he starts with an impossibility.

The life of holiness is the life of faith in which the believer, with a deepening knowledge of his own sin and helplessness apart from Christ, increasingly casts himself upon the Lord, and seeks the power of the Spirit and the wisdom and comfort of the Bible to battle against the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Edmund P. Clowney
O God, my heart is ready to praise you! I will sing and rejoice before you.
Psalm 108:1
The Living Bible
Take heed, O poor man, that if your flesh is mortal, your soul is precious and everlasting. If you lack money, you do not lack grace; and if you have no spacious house nor wide acres, the heavens spread above you, the earth is free.

Dear Ministry Members,
This month of November is a special time of thanksgiving, and first and foremost, we would like to express our deep gratitude for you—our readers—who allow us to share in daily worship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
We continue to prayerfully strive to bring you our very best in Christian thought. These brief “seeds for the day” are meant to offer inspiration and encouragement for your walk with God.
Thank you for allowing us to serve you and to share the blessings of these messages drawn from the wisdom of Christian leaders, theologians, preachers, and mentors of our faith. We hope and pray that we may continue to provide these devotionals for many years to come.
This coming January marks the beginning of our 27th year together, and as we have traditionally done each November, we offer the opportunity for those who feel led to support our efforts financially. Your contributions and donations are truly a blessing, enabling us to plan and prepare for another year of ministry.
You have faithfully blessed us over the years through your one-time gifts and monthly pledges. Once again, during this season of gratitude, if you desire to support This Day’s Thought in this way, you may make a contribution using the link below.
Our mission remains steadfast: to reach as many people as possible around the world with daily Christian messages. Your generosity allows us to continue sharing the richness of Christian thought to every corner of this wonderful world.
May God bless you in your continued walk with Him. Thank you for your prayers, your encouragement, and your faithful support. It is a true joy and blessing to serve you.
In His Love,
Greg, for This Day’s Thought

If the spirit rule and the body be humbled, man will seek nothing beyond the necessary. He will be satisfied with little and will disdain superfluity.

Since Penelope Noakes of Duppas Hill is gone, there is no one who will ever call me Nellie again.
