This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

If I only had one wish, I wouldn’t waste it on wishing I could see. I’d wish instead that everyone could understand one another and how a person feels inside.

God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 1:9
The New International Version

At it; all at it; always at it.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

There is no learning sympathy except by suffering. It cannot be studied from a book, it must be written on the heart. You must go through the fire if you would have sympathy with others who tread the glowing coals. You must yourself bear the cross if you would feel for those whose life is a burden to them.

Charles Spurgeon

But if we are living in the light of God’s presence, just as Christ does, then we have wonderful fellowship and joy with each other, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin.

1 John 1:7
The Living Bible

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all, but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.

Prayer is the very sword of the Saints.

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

Matthew 3:11
The King James Version

There is more joy in Jesus in twenty-four hours than there is in the world in 365 days. I have tried them both.

When God would make His name known to mankind, He could find no better word than “I AM.” “I am that I am,” says God, “I change not.” Everyone and everything else measures from that fixed point.

A. W. Tozer

But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

If I am a son of God, nothing but God will satisfy my soul; no amount of comfort, no amount of ease, no amount of pleasure, will give me peace or rest. If I had the full cup of all the world’s joys held up to me, and could drain it to the dregs, I should still remain thirsty if I had not God.

G. A. Studdert Kennedy

The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

1 Corinthians 10:13
The New Living Translation

Some people confess a sin a thousand times, I tell them to confess it once, then thank God a thousand times for forgiving them.

You have not passed this way heretofore, so keep your eye on the Divine Guide.

He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Matthew 16:15-18
The English Standard Version

Said one man to another: “Uncle Dan, I heard that you asked the Lord for that good garden. Is that correct?” “Yes, sir, it is,” proudly replied the man whose flourishing garden was his delight, “only I never pray for a good garden unless I have a hoe in my hand. I say, ‘Lord, you send the sunshine and the rain, and I’ll keep down the weeds.’”

Because we are loved, we are able to love. Because grace is given to us, we are able to be gracious to others. On the Irish coast there are twin lighthouses, set about 500 feet apart on opposite sides of an estuary. There is a powerful light in one, but no light in the other, only prisms and reflectors that mirror the light from the first. Yet from a distance, both seem to shine equally. Just so our lives can reflect and mirror the love and grace of God.

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

Mark 16:15
The New International Version

The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else.

Oswald Chambers

This Day’s Thought-Monday

Blessings we enjoy daily; and for most of them, because they are so common, most men forget to pay their praise. But let us not forget, for it is a sacrifice so pleasing to him that made the sun and us and gives us flowers and showers and meat and content.

Izaak Walton

The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.

Psalm 147:11
The King James Version

Prepare and prevent instead of repair and repent.

By the quality of our inner lives I do not mean something characterized by ferocious intensity and strain. I mean rather such a humble and genial devotedness as we find in the most loving of the saints. I mean the quality which makes contagious Christians, makes people catch the love of God from you.

Evelyn Underhill

So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”

Hebrews 13:6
The New International Version

Don’t like how you were born?
Try being born again.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Acquire the habit of speaking to God as if you were alone with God. Speak with familiarity and confidence as to your dearest and most loving friend. Speak of your life, your plans, your troubles, your joys, your fears. In return, God will speak to you—not that you will hear audible words in your ears, but words that you will clearly understand in your heart.

Alphonsus Liguori

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

Psalm 37:23
The New King James Version

A good marriage is the union of two forgivers.
