This Day's Thought

God only is holy.  He alone knows how to lead His children in the paths of holiness.  He knows every aspect of your soul, every thought of your heart, every secret of your character, its difficulties and hindrances.  He knows how to mould you to His will, and lead you onwards to perfect sanctification.  He knows exactly how each event, each trial, each temptation, will tell upon you, and he disposes all things accordingly.  The consequences of this belief, if fully grasped, will influence your whole life.  You will seek to give yourself up to God more and more unreservedly, asking nothing, refusing nothing, wishing nothing, but what He wills.  Instead of seeking to bring things about for yourself, you will take all He sends joyfully, and believe the “one step” set before you to be enough for you.  You will be satisfied that even though there are clouds around, and your way seems dark, He is directing all, and that what seems a hindrance will prove a blessing, since He wills it.

Jean Nicolas Grou

This Day's Thought

A man should be encouraged to do what the Maker of him has intended by the making of him, according as the gifts have been bestowed on him for that purpose.  His happiness, and that of others around him depends upon such a relation to the Maker’s will.

Thomas Carlyle

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

This Day's Thought

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in number, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown.  But we have forgotten God!  Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God who made us.

Abraham Lincoln

This Day's Verse

Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

1 Timothy 6:12
The New International Version

God answers prayer in the best way, not sometimes, but every time, although the immediate manifestation of the answer in the domain in which we want it may not always follow.

This Day's Thought

It is cynicism and fear that freeze life; it is faith that thaws it out, releases it, sets it free.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 2:4-5
The New International Version
