This Day's Thought

Thanksgiving is nothing if not a glad and reverent lifting of the heart to God in honour and praise for His goodness.

James R. Miller

This Day's Verse

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him, bless his name!

Psalm 100:4
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

O, heavenly Father: we thank thee for food and remember the hungry.
We thank thee for health and remember the sick.
We thank thee for friends and remember the friendless.
We thank thee for freedom and remember the enslaved.
May these remembrances stir us to service,
That thy gifts to us may be used for others.
Amen.

This Day's Thought

John Henry Jowett said: “Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.” This is a most searching and true diagnosis. Gratitude can be a vaccine that can prevent the invasion of a disgruntled attitude. As antitoxins prevent the disastrous effects of certain poisons and diseases, Thanksgiving destroys the poison of faultfinding and grumbling. When trouble has smitten us, a spirit of thanksgiving is a soothing anti-septic.

Clinton C. Cox

This Day's Verse

For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.

Nehemiah 12:46
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

A real Thanksgiving is celebrated in real thanksgiving.

This Day's Thought

Blessed is the pilgrim, who in every place, and at all times of this his banishment in the body, calling upon the holy name of Jesus, calleth to mind his native heavenly land, where his blessed Master, the King of saints and angels, waiteth to receive him.  Blessed is the pilgrim who seeketh not an abiding place unto himself in this world; but longeth to be dissolved, and be with Christ in heaven.

Thomas à Kempis

This Day's Verse

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;

Galatians 5:22-23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Too many clergymen have become keepers of an aquarium instead of fishers of men—and often they are just swiping each other’s fish.

This Day's Thought

We don’t need more strength than the strength God gives us.  We don’t need more knowledge than we already have.  All we need is the will to do what needs to be done.

Charles Swindoll

O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

Psalm 34:9
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

There is an emanation from the heart in genuine hospitality which cannot be described, but is immediately felt and puts the stranger at once at his ease.

This Day's Smile

A positive thing; in Joy one does not only feel secure, but something goes out from one’s self to the universe, a warm, possessive effluence of love.

Simplicity reaches out after God; purity discovers and enjoys him.

Thomas à Kempis

This Day's Verse

So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

This Day's Thought

Life is one long joy, because the will of God is always being done in it, and the glory of God always being got from it.

F. W. Faber

This Day's Thought

Meditation is different from studying. By study, truth is explored; by meditation it is felt. By the one, things different are discriminated; by the other, what is known is loved and embraced. The design of secret meditation is not so much to accumulate knowledge, or to please ourselves, as to enlarge the desires of the soul and to elevate the affections.

David Sturrock

This Day's Verse

“‘And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’”

Acts 2:21
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Jesus Christ came into my prison cell last night, and every stone flashed like a ruby.

This Day's Thought

For the Christian, Jesus is the Way. All things are measured by his Way: by his healing grace, his call to forgiveness and purity of heart, nonviolence and a concern for justice; by his relinquishment of earthly power and dominance; affirmation of agape (friendship and self-giving Love) as a new basis for kinship, of change of heart as the requirement for righteousness, and of the transcendent power of suffering.

Madonna Kolbenschlag

This Day's Verse

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

Psalm 145:18
The New King James Version

This Day's Smile

Sometime near a century ago the advice was given to young preachers: “When you go to the city to preach, take your best coat; when you go to the country, take your best sermon.”

Psalm 36:7
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Smile
