Prayer is a kind of calling home every day.  And there can come to you a serenity, a feeling of at-homeness in God’s universe, a peace that the world can neither give nor disturb, a fresh courage, a new insight, a holy boldness that you’ll never, never get any other way.

Earl G. Hunt, Jr.

“May the Lord repay you for what you have done.  May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”

Ruth 2:12
The New International Version

Example is a lesson that all men can read.

There is a canyon of difference between doing your best to glorify God and doing whatever it takes to glorify yourself.  The quest for excellence is a mark of maturity.  The quest for power is childish.

Max Lucado

O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.

Isaiah 25:1
The New Revised Standard Version

When I met Christ, I felt that I had swallowed sunshine.

We have to carry on the struggle against the evil that is in mankind, not by judging others, but by judging ourselves.  Struggle with oneself and veracity toward oneself are the means by which we influence others.

Albert Schweitzer

Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being tempted for forty days by the devil.  And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.  And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”  But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”

Luke 4:1-4
The New King James Version

A quiet conscience sleeps in thunder.

However much we do to avoid them, we shall never lack crosses in this life if we are in the ranks of the Crucified.

Teresa of Avila

Keep alert, stand firm in your faith, be courageous, be strong.  Let all that you do be done in love.

1 Corinthians 16:13-14
The New Revised Standard Version

Those who always pray are necessary to those who never pray.

Christian contemplation is not something esoteric and dangerous.  It is simply the experience of God that is given to a soul purified by humility and faith.

Thomas Merton

The entirety of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments endures forever.

Psalm 119:160
The New King James Version

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

Francis of Assisi

God does not make clones.  Each person is different, a tribute to God’s creativity.  If we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, we must accept people as they are and not demand that they conform to our own image.

Henry Fehren

Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?”

John 11:40
The English Standard Version

Little Matthew was asked by a stranger how old he was.  “I’m four,” replied the boy.  “And when will you be five?”  Matthew thought this over for a moment, and then said, “When I’m through being four.”

Be content with your daily bread, and remember that in the desert manna gathered for a future day grew putrid at once.

François Fénelon

Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.

Proverbs 27:2
The New International Version

There is nothing but God’s grace.  We walk upon it; we breathe it; we live and die by it; it makes the nails and axles of the universe.

Dear Ministry Members…Our November Fundraising Note…

We begin our 25th year of ministry this coming January 1st…what a joy it has been serving you during this span of time.  And if it is in the Lord’s will, we hope to share with you for another 25 years!

Recapping from the very beginning, we have sought to share the very best in Christian thought with you, always offering new and never-previously-shared-quotations prayerfully chosen each and every day.  And we will continue to follow this model, just as we have shared Scripture from some eight different versions and paraphrases of the Bible, so as to present versions we might not be as familiar with—that might help in our expanded understanding of the Lord’s Word.

Your comments, your prayers and your financial support have meant so much to us for so long, and it is only for the Lord’s blessing, through all of you, that we have been able to continue reaching so many people from all over the world with these Christian seeds for the day.

November has historically been our month of fundraising for the ministry, and as we prepare for this next new year, we once again present the opportunity for you to consider investing in our efforts of sharing our daily messages with those in need for such encouragement and inspiration.

If you feel led to help us with your financial support as we begin our 25th year together, you may do so by clicking on the link below…

Thank you and may God bless you in your continued walk with Him.

In His Love, Greg for This Day’s Thought

Begin to realize more and more that prayer is the most important thing you do.  You can use your time to no better advantage than to pray whenever you have an opportunity to do so, either alone or with others; while at work, while at rest, or while walking down the street.  Anywhere!

Ole Hallesby

And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

Isaiah 6:3
The King James Version

A person may sometimes have a clear conscience simply because his head is empty.

People say that it is so hard to bring Jesus Christ and present him before the lives of men today.  Of course it is, it is so hard that it is impossible except by the power of the indwelling Holy Ghost.

Oswald Chambers

“The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him.”

Ezra 8:22
The New International Version

God always walks ahead of us.

Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray.  That is a great mistake, for praying is a saving of time.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
