This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

We need not set out in search for a friend…rather, we must simply set out to be the friend Christ modeled—anticipating the needs of others, wearing ourselves out at giving. Jesus died doing it.

Joy MacKenzie

For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.

Isaiah 33:22
The New International Version

We don’t have to be supersaints, just thirsty sinners.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Drink has
Drained more blood
Hung more crepe
Sold more houses
Plunged more people into bankruptcy
Armed more villains
Slain more children
Snapped more wedding rings
Defiled more innocence
Blinded more eyes
Twisted more limbs
Dethroned more reason
Wrecked more manhood
Dishonored more womanhood
Broken more hearts
Blasted more lives
Driven more to suicide, and
Dug more graves than any other poisoned scourge that ever swept its death-dealing waves across the world.

Evangeline Cory Booth

Then Jeremiah replied, “Lord, you know it is for your sake that I am suffering. They are persecuting me because I have proclaimed your word to them. Don’t let them kill me! Rescue me from their clutches, and give them what they deserve! Your words are what sustain me; they are food to my hungry soul. They bring joy to my sorrowing heart and delight me. How proud I am to bear your name, O Lord.

Jeremiah 15:15-16

Prayer is the wing wherewith the soul flies to heaven, and meditation the eye wherewith we see God.

Ambrose

“I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”

John 15:5
The New King James Version

Children know the grace of God better than most of us. They see the world the way the morning brings it back to them. New and born and fresh and wonderful.

This Day’s Thought-Friday

A large measure of disappointment with God stems from disillusionment with other Christians.

Philip Yancey

The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”

John 4:25-26
The English Standard Version

There are many who agree with God in principle but not in practice.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

We often find that we were better persons just after our conversion than we are after many years of being a Christian. Every day that passes should make us more like Christ, but we tend to grow cooler rather than warmer.

Thomas a Kempis

Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty.

Proverbs 21:5
The Living Bible

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Christians don’t work in order to go to heaven; they work because they are going to heaven. Arrogance and fear are replaced with gratitude and joy.

Max Lucado

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

2 Thessalonians 3:16
The New International Version

You are the light of the world, but the switch must be turned on.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

The well-defined spiritual life is not only the highest life, but it is also the most easily lived. The whole cross is more easily carried than the half. It is the man who tries to make the best of both worlds who makes nothing of either. And he who seeks to serve two masters misses the benediction of both. But he who has taken his stand, who has drawn a boundary-line sharp and deep about his religious life, who has marked off all beyond as forever forbidden ground to him, finds the yoke easy and the burden light. For this forbidden environment comes to be as if it were not. And the balm of death numbing his lower nature releases him for the scarce disturbed communion of a higher life. So even here to die is gain.

Henry Drummond

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Isaiah 41:13
The New King James Version

It may be all right for angels to spend their time in visions and meditation, but if I am a Christian, I find God in the ordinary occurrences of my life.

Oswald Chambers

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 1:1-2
The King James Version

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.

George MacDonald

This Day’s Thought-Friday

I remember my mother, my father and the rest of us praying together each evening. It is God’s greatest gift to the family.

Mother Teresa

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him—my father’s God, and I will exalt him!

Exodus 15:2
The New Living Translation

Keep the other person’s well-being in mind when you feel an attack of soul-purging truth coming on.

Betty White

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

The world has forgotten the joys of silence, the peace of solitude which is necessary, to some extent, for the fullness of human living. Not all are called to be hermits, but all need enough silence and solitude in their lives to enable the deep inner voice of their own true self to be heard at least occasionally.

Thomas Merton

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

Psalm 139:13-14
The New King James Version
