This Day's Thought

The best of men are still sinners. If we take pride in the “greats” of this world, we have a warped view of God’s values. He chooses the base, the lowly, and the unknown.

Erwin W. Lutzer

This Day's Verse

“’Be strong, all you people still left in the land. And now get to work, for I am with you, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. My Spirit remains among you, just as I promised when you came out of Egypt. So do not be afraid.’”

Haggai 2:4-5
The New Living Translation

Attitude is the mind’s paintbrush; it can color any situation.

This Day's Thought

When we in prayer seek only the glorification of the name of God, then we are in complete harmony with the spirit of prayer. Then our hearts are at rest both while we pray and after we have prayed. Then we can wait for the Lord.

Ole Hallesby

This Day's Verse

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Romans 8:31-32
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.

Philo of Alexandria

This Day's Thought

Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God’s most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.

Charles Stanley

This Day's Verse

But the LORD has become my stronghold, and my God the rock of my refuge.

Psalm 94:22
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

You can’t tell what a man is like or what he is thinking when you are looking at him. You must get around behind him and see what he has been looking at.

A note from ministry member Mark of  Vilas, North Carolina…

“I’ve been a supporter of This Day’s Thought for many years. Receiving their daily emails of noble and happy thoughts is one of the highlights of my entire day. When I was a young boy, my family had a box of Bible verses that stayed on our kitchen table. Before the main meal each day, someone would read the short verse and pray. Sometimes we discussed the verse; other times, it was simply read and returned to its holder. But the steady, daily exposure to God’s Word was having a profound effect on my life that I wouldn’t fully understand until I grew up and left home. As I’ve sawn, sanded, and nailed each little box together, it’s been my prayer that each one will find fertile soil in the lives and homes of those to whom they are mailed. The box is handmade in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina from reclaimed wood, and it’s my great honor to place these selected quotes from This Day’s Thought into your hands. May the Lord bless you, grow your faith, and guide you on your journey toward our heavenly home.
In Him, Mark, Vilas, NC”

This Day’s Thought-Monday

This Day's Thought

Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

The Lord says to the people of Israel, “Seek me—and live.”

Amos 5:4
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

We should render thanks to God for having produced this temporal light, which is the smile of heaven and joy of the world, spreading it like a cloth of gold over the face of the air and earth, and lighting it as a torch by which we might behold His works.

This Day's Thought

Is my heart more aligned with Jesus’ mission or my own?

Meredith Houston

This Day's Verse

“Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes, what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin.”

Romans 4:7-8
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

Julie Galbraith, age 6, had on her headstone one of the loveliest inscriptions I know: “She came, she smiled, she left.”

This Day's Thought

If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray. The richness of the Word of God ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

This Day's Verse

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.

Matthew 9:35
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

This Day's Thought

The grace of God is sufficient for all our needs, for every problem and for every difficulty, for every broken heart, and for every human sorrow.

Peter Marshall

This Day's Verse

The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.  Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

Ecclesiastes 9:17-18
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

The best things in life are free, are they not? The air we breathe is not sold by the cubic foot. The water that flows crystal clear from the mountain stream is free for the taking. Love is free, faith is free, hope is free.

Billy Graham

This Day's Thought

Often we know the lonely and fail to reach out in love. We may be shy or find it hard to show love. We may feel that we are being insincere if we try. Then let us accept ourselves as we are—God’s imperfect instruments—and pray that he will use us despite our shortcomings.

Mother Teresa

This Day's Verse

O my Strength, I will sing praises to thee; for thou, O God, art my fortress.

Psalm 59:9
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

People who wrestle with their consciences usually go for two falls out of three.
