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.”

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 Christ had paid 99.9% of the debt of sin, not one of us would have a chance at heaven.

Charles Swindoll


This Day's Verse

The world ignores us, but we are known to God; we live close to death, but here we are, still very much alive.  We have been injured but kept from death.  Our hearts ache, but at the same time we have the joy of the Lord.  We are poor, but we give rich spiritual gifts to others.  We own nothing, and yet we enjoy everything.

2 Corinthians 6:9-10
The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

Once I sought a time and place for solitude and prayer; but now where’er I find thy face I find a closet there.

This Day's Thought

Anyone who proposes to do good must not expect people to roll stones out of his way, but must accept his lot calmly if they roll a few more upon it.

Albert Schweitzer

Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.  Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

Psalm 25:4-5
The New King James Version


This Day's Reprise

The miracles of Jesus were the ordinary works of his Father, wrought small and swift that we might take them in.

This Day's Thought

We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God.  If at times we are somewhat stunned by the tempest, never fear.  Let us take breath, and go on afresh.

Francis de Sales


This Day's Verse

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honour.  Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.  Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer.  Contribute to the needs of the saints; extend hospitality to strangers.

Romans 12:9-13
The New Revised Standard Version

Man proposes, but God disposes.

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

The will of God is never defeated, though much is done that is contrary to His will…Even what is done in opposition to His will does not defeat His will.

Augustine


This Day's Verse

If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer, that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?  And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.

1 John 4:20-21
The New Living Translation

And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday


This Day's Thought

Ask Him to increase your powers of sympathy: to give you more quickness and depth of sympathy, in little things as well as great.  Opportunities of doing a kindness are often lost from mere want of thought.  Half a dozen lines of kindness may bring sunshine into the whole day of some sick person.  Think of the pleasure you might give to someone who is shut in, and has fewer pleasures than you have, by sharing with her some little comfort or enjoyment that you have learnt to look upon as a necessary of life,— the pleasant drive, the new book, flowers from the country, etc.  Try to put yourself in another’s place.  Ask, “What should I like myself, if I were hard-worked, or sick, or lonely?”  Cultivate the habit of sympathy.

George H. Wilkinson


This Day's Verse

And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.”

Galatians 4:6
The New Living Translation


This Day's Reprise

God’s gifts put man’s best dreams to shame.
