This Day’s Thought-Friday

I thank God for my handicaps, for, through them, I have found myself, my work, and my God.

Helen Keller

My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.

Proverbs 24:13-14
The English Standard Version

The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.

Martin Luther

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers he uses to crush us with. If God would only use his own fingers and make us broken bread and poured out wine in a special way! But when he uses someone whom we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, and makes those the crushers, we object.

Oswald Chambers

Hear my prayer, O Lord, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

Psalm 39:12-13
The King James Version

Contemplation is like sleep in the arms of God.

Bernard of Clairvaux

“And he said to man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

Job 28:28
The English Standard Version

The sun will set without thy assistance.

In His Love, Greg for This Day’s Thought

We can do little things for God: I turn the cake that is frying in the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him who has given me Grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king.

Brother Lawrence

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:4
The King James Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Everything in this life is going to be taken away from us, except one thing: God’s love, which can go into death with us and take us through it and into his arms.

Timothy J. Keller

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Luke 19:10
The New International Version

I hope I will always keep my eyes on the King of kings, and Lord of lords, Jesus Christ. I pray that whether in singing or speaking or whatever I am doing I will desire only to please Him, that I may bask in His smile.

Sometimes a man imagines that he will lose himself if he gives himself, and keep himself if he hides himself. But the contrary takes place with terrible exactitude.

Ernest Hello

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

2 Peter 3:8-9
The English Standard Version

An apology
Is a friendship preserver,
Is often a debt of honor,
Is never a sign of weakness,
Is an antidote for hatred,
Costs nothing but one’s pride,
Always saves more than it costs,
Is a device needed in every home.

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christlike for His heart was meek and He always thought of others. Jesus went about doing good. Mary, His mother, did nothing else in Cana but thought of the needs of others and made their needs known to Jesus.

Mother Teresa

We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28
The Revised Standard Version

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

We shall be made truly wise if we be made content; content not only with what we can understand, but content with what we do not understand—the habit of mind which theologians call, and rightly, faith in God.

Charles Kingsley

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

Proverbs 14:34
The King James Version

There is a story of a rabbi and a cantor and a humble synagogue cleaner who were preparing for the Day of Atonement. The rabbi beat his breast and said, “I am noting, I am nothing.” The cantor beat his breast, and said, “I am nothing, I am nothing.” The cleaner beat his breast, and said, “I am nothing, I am nothing.” And the rabbi said to the cantor, “Look who thinks he’s nothing.”

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

The Christian life is stamped all through with impossibility. Human nature cannot come anywhere near what Jesus Christ demands, and any rational being facing his demands honestly, says, “It can’t be done, apart from a miracle.” Exactly.

Oswald Chambers

Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep his testimonies, who seek him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!

Psalm 119:1-3
The English Standard Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Only to sit and think of God,
Oh what a joy it is!
To think the thought, to breathe the name
Earth has no higher bliss.

Frederick William Faber

Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security.

Jeremiah 33:6
The New International Version

My life collided with me. Christ, the master Adjuster, investigated and cancelled my policy. Then he gave me his.
