This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Fearless devotion to Jesus Christ ought to mark the saint today, but more often it is devotion to our set that marks us. We are more concerned about being in agreement with Christians than about being in agreement with God.

Oswald Chambers

The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Proverbs 15:29
The English Standard Version

To love someone more clearly every day,
To help a wandering child to find his way,
To ponder o’er a noble thought and pray,
And smile when evening falls—this is my task.

Saints have never yet reached the limit to the possibilities of prayer. Whatever has been attained or achieved has touched but the fringe of the garment of a prayer-hearing God. We honor the riches both of His power and love only by large demands.

Arthur T. Pierson

“Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.”

The King James Version

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.

A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.

C. H. Spurgeon

Wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

Proverbs 20:1

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention.

A. W. Tozer

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

Psalm 144:4
The English Standard Version

So Brother Matthew locked the [monastery] gate behind me and I was enclosed in the four walls of my new freedom.

Children learn what they observe.
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn and be judgmental.
If children live with hostility, they learn to be angry and fight.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy and withdrawn.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness, they learn justice.
If children live with security, they learn to have faith.
If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance and friendship, they learn to find love in the world.

Dorothy Nolte

Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Today is the second chance which God gives us to right the wrongs, correct the mistakes, and readjust the differences that marred our yesterdays. Today is another opportunity to cancel, to expiate, to raise, to adorn.

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

When I can do nothing else, it is enough to have picked up a straw for the love of God.

In the rush and noise of life, as you have intervals step home within yourselves, and be still. Wait upon God to feel His good presence; this will carry you evenly through your day’s business.

William Penn

Who would not fear you, O King of nations? That title belongs to you alone! Among all the wise people of the earth and in all the kingdoms of the world, there is no one like you.

Jeremiah 10:7

Christianity is bread for daily use, not cake for special occasions.
