We are slaves to our gadgets, puppets of our power, and prisoners of our security.  The theme of our generation is: “Get more, know more, and do more,” instead of “Pray more, be more, and serve more.”

Billy Graham

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

2 Corinthians 5:17
The English Standard Version

It is the history of our kindnesses that alone makes this world tolerable.

Dear Members…we continue this month of November with our annual fundraising efforts for next year’s operations, and we wish to first thank you for so many years of support.  If it were not for you, our ministry participants, we would never have reached so many people, from so many countries, for such a long time.

As we begin our 22nd year of ministry this coming January, we continue to pray that each day’s new message will provide inspiration and encouragement…and bring us all closer to the Lord.

We ask that if you feel so led, you might offer your financial support and investment in these efforts so that we may continue touching those in need with our daily Christian “seeds for the day.”

Thank you and may God bless you in your continued walk with Him.

Sincerely, Greg for This Day’s Thought

When at last I cling to you with all my being, for me there will be no more sorrow, no more toil.  Then at last I shall be alive with true life, for my life will be wholly filled by you.

Augustine

And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.

1 Chronicles 28:20

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.  To these I commit my day.  If I succeed, I will give thanks.  If I fail, I will seek his grace.  And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

Max Lucado

Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!”

Acts 5:29
The New International Version

A man was asked to address a group about despondency.  He tacked up a big sheet of white paper.  Then he made a black spot on the paper with his pencil and asked a man in the front row what he saw.  The man replied promptly, “A black spot.”  The speaker asked every person in the audience the same question, and each replied, “A black spot.”  With calm and deliberate emphasis the speaker said, “Yes, there is a little black spot, but none of you saw the big sheet of white paper.  That’s the point of my speech.”

The unforgiving spirit is the number one killer of spiritual life.

James Coulter

And he said: “The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;”

2 Samuel 22:2
The New King James Version

When it comes to walking with God, there is no such thing as instant maturity.  God doesn’t mass produce His saints.  He hand tools each one, and it always takes longer than we expected.

We must face the fact that many today are notoriously careless in their living.  This attitude finds its way into the church.  We have liberty, we have money, we live in comparative luxury.  As a result, discipline practically has disappeared.  What would a violin solo sound like if the strings on the musician’s instrument were all hanging loose, not stretched tight, not “disciplined”?

A. W. Tozer

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way.  This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

I would not trade one moment of heaven for all the joys and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years.

Martin Luther

For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.”

1 Peter 1:24-25
The New International Version

For most of us the hardest thing God could ask us to do is to wait.

Jesus wants us to see that the neighbor next door or the people sitting next to us on a plane or in a classroom are not interruptions to our schedule.  They are there by divine appointment.  Jesus wants us to see their needs, their loneliness, their longings, and He wants to give us the courage to reach out to them.

Rebecca Manley Pippert

And this world is fading away, and these evil, forbidden things will go with it, but whoever keeps doing the will of God will live forever.

Prayer is the same as the breathing of air for the lungs.  Exhaling makes us get rid of our dirty air.  Inhaling gives clean air.  To exhale is to confess, to inhale is to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Corrie ten Boom

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.  All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.  For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

Psalm 86:8-10
The King James Version

Eternal in joy for a day’s training on earth.

This Day’s Thought will begin our 22nd year of ministry this coming January.  We are so very blessed by you, our members, and we continue to pray that each day’s new message will provide inspiration and encouragement…and bring us all closer to the Lord.

November has long been our month of fundraising for the ministry.  Accordingly, we prayerfully proceed to share our financial needs as we plan for our next year.

You have heard us often share, “We can do so much with so little, but we need that little so very much!”  Thus, we ask that if you feel so led, you might offer your support to our efforts, so that we can continue reaching and touching people from all over the world with our Christian “seeds for the day.”

Thank you all for your support and participation for so many years…it has meant so much to us…and may God continue to bless you in your walk with Him.

In His love, Greg for This Day’s Thought

“Merci for this wonderful gift of every day!  Lots of love from Holland, Amsterdam.  You are God’s gift with all the nice messages that you send!”

God always works in tranquility.  Fuss and feverishness, anxiety, intensity, intolerance, instability, pessimism and wobble and every kind of worry, these, even on the highest level, are the signs of the self-made and self-acting soul.

Evelyn Underhill

“Thou hast taken up my cause, O Lord, thou hast redeemed my life.”

Lamentations 3:58
The Revised Standard Version

Wise sayings are like great men talking to us.  It’s the closest most of us can get to greatness.  They are the cheapest teachers, consultants, advisers, guidelines, pilots, signposts, guardians and counselors.  They make us wise in one hundredth of the time of any other sources of knowledge or wisdom.  Get closely acquainted with them.  They’re short cuts to wisdom.
