This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

True humility consists in not presuming on our own strength, but in trusting to obtain all things from the power of God.

Thomas Aquinas

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:14-19
The English Standard Version

There are souls in this world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere, and leaving it behind them when they go.

Frederick William Faber

Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength and consolation, and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home.

Rose of Viterbo

The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.

Psalm 29:11
The New Living Translation

If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.

Henry Ward Beecher

This Day’s Thought-Special Note…

Dear Fellow Members…

November has historically been the month that we share our financial needs of the ministry so that we might plan for our next year together.

For these last 24 years we have sought to bring you the very best in Christian Thought, Verse and Smile, and we look forward to continuing to provide these seeds for the day containing inspiration and encouragement for all.

If you would like to help us with the financial resources needed to share our daily Christian messages, we so appreciate your support and investment in this ministry.

You, as participating subscribers, are such a blessing to this ministry. And for all your past, present and future support, we thank you sincerely,

Some recent testimonials we have been blessed by…

“This Day’s Thought is such an awesome ministry that is making such a difference in so many lives—including ours.”

“I am able to say it again and again-your daily messages are a blessing to me and I am sure many others across the world who have limited access to a Christian community. It is I who must thank you.”

“I have read your “page” of thoughts and smiles and scripture passages for 15 years…today’s scripture passage speaks like a thunder clap from Heaven to my spirit. A million thank-you’s.”

“You have no idea how your ministry through its daily devotional emails kept me going through some dark times. It’s wonderful that your ministry has a truly global reach and I feel sure your messages of hope keep thousands like me going in these challenging times.”

“Thank you for all that you do for Jesus.”

The Christianity which is shared is the Christianity which is convincing.

Lynn Harold Hough

Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

Galatians 3:6-7
The King James Version

Nobody ever added up
The value of a smile;
We know how much a dollar’s worth,
And how much is a mile;
We know the distance to the sun,
The size and weight of earth—
But no one’s ever told us yet
How much a smile is worth.

This Day’s Thought-Friday

Live in faith and hope, though it be in darkness, for in this darkness God protects the soul. Cast your care upon God for you are His and He will not forget you. Do not think that He is leaving you alone, for that would be to wrong Him.

John of the Cross

The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.

Isaiah 32:17
The New King James Version

Blessed is the man who can enjoy the small things, the common beauties, the little day-by-day events; sunshine on the fields, birds on the bough, breakfast, dinner, supper, the daily paper on the porch, a friend passing by. So many people who go afield for enjoyment leave it behind them at home.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

God in His nature is most simple and cannot admit of any duplicity. If we then would be conformable to Him, we should try to become by virtue what He is by nature. We should be simple in our affections, intentions, actions, and words; we should do what we find to do without artifice or guile, making our exterior conformable to our interior. We should have no other object but God in our actions and seek to please Him alone in all things.

Vincent de Paul

Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.

Nehemiah 9:20
The King James Version

A man prayed, and at first he thought that prayer was talking. But he became more and more quiet until in the end he realized that prayer is listening.

Soren Kierkegaard

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

We need a baptism of clear seeing. We desperately need seers who can see through the mist—Christian leaders with prophetic vision. Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our world orthodoxy.

A. W. Tozer

Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.

Jeremiah 17:14
The New King James Version

How good it is to desire a little and to have a little more than enough.

Little words are the sweetest to hear; little charities fly furthest and stay longest on the wing; little lakes are the stillest; little hearts are the fullest, and little farms are the best tilled. Little books are read the most and little songs the dearest loved. And when Nature would make anything especially rare and beautiful, she makes it little; little pearls, little diamonds, little dews. Agar’s is a model prayer but then it is a little one; and the burden of the petition is for but the little. The Sermon on the Mount is little, but the last dedication discourse was an hour long. Life is made up of little things that count, and death is what remains of them all. Day is made up of little beams, and night is glorious with little stars.

For Jehovah God is our Light and our Protector. He gives us grace and glory. No good thing will he withhold from those who walk along his paths.

Psalm 84:11
The Living Bible

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love.

Mother Teresa

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Christ wanted men to see, to see far and to see truly. To get that kind of vision requires avoidance of hypocrisies and group prejudice which distort the vision and make men imagine they see what is not really there.

John Foster Dulles

Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”

John 3:3
The New International Version

There is more value in a little study of humility and in a single act of it than in all the knowledge in the world.

Teresa of Avila

October 21, 2022 by Greg

This Day’s Thought-Friday

Prayer is the best weapon we have; it is a key that opens God’s heart. You must speak to Jesus, not only with your lips, but also with your heart; actually, on certain occasions, you should speak with only your heart.

Padre Pio

Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.

2 Peter 3:18
The New Living Translation

The dictionary defines night in terms of day and day in terms of night. Can we find a way to talk about light and dark without talking about good and bad? To love both day and night? Can we hold the beauty of both in the same breath?

Ruth Gendler
