This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Do not undertake any course of action, not even the most lowly and insignificant, without first offering it to God.

Padre Pio

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Ephesians 6:13
The New International Version

I am more deadly than the screaming shell from the howitzer. I win without killing. I tear down homes, break hearts, and wreck lives. I travel on the wings of the wind. No innocence is strong enough to intimidate me, no purity pure enough to daunt me. I have no regard for truth, no respect for justice, no mercy for the defenseless. My victims are as numerous as the sands of the sea, and often as innocent. I never forget and seldom forgive. My name is Gossip.

A Christian marriage is not one with no problems or even a marriage with fewer problems. (It may well mean more problems.) But it does mean a life in which two people are able to accept each other and love each other in the midst of problems and fears. It means a marriage in which selfish people can accept selfish people without constantly trying to change them—and even accept themselves, because they realize personally that they have been accepted by Christ.

Keith Miller

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:23
The Living Bible

If God seems far away—guess who moved.

Matthew 21:22
The New King James Version

For what else are the servants of God than His singers, whose duty it is to lift up the hearts of men and move them to spiritual joy?

Francis of Assisi

This Day’s Thought-Friday

God is the God of human history, and He is at work continuously, mysteriously, accomplishing His eternal purposes in us, through us, for us, and in spite of us.

Elisabeth Elliot

For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

Psalm 61:3
The New King James Version

If I can put one touch of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman, I shall feel that I have worked with God.

John MacDonald

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Let your spiritual side guide your material side, and not the other way around. In order to improve his state, a person should strive for spiritual not physical perfection.

Leo Tolstoy

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

Isaiah 44:3
The King James Version

Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home.

C. S. Lewis

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

The merit of persons is to be no rule of our charity; but we are to do acts of kindness to those that least of all deserve it.

William Law

And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.

Galatians 3:29
The English Standard Version

We must fear God out of love, not love Him out of fear.

Francis de Sales

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

It is not necessary to maintain a conversation when we are in the presence of God. We can come into His presence and rest our weary souls in quiet contemplation of Him. Our groanings, which cannot be uttered, rise to Him and tell Him better than words how dependent we are upon Him.

Ole Hallesby

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:7
The King James Version

The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.

God is served only when He is served according to His will.

Padre Pio

Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear;

Isaiah 59:1
The Revised Standard Version

He who desires nothing but God is rich and happy.

Alphonsus Liguori

This Day’s Thought-Friday

Those talents which God has bestowed upon us are not our own goods but the free gifts of God; and any persons who become proud of them show their ungratefulness.

John Calvin

That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Colossians 1:10
The King James Version

Find joy in everything that leads to God.

Teresa of Avila

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

One good man, one man who does not put on his religion once a week with his Sunday coat, but wears it for his working dress, and lets the thought of God grow into him, and through and through him, till everything he says and does becomes religious, that man is worth a thousand sermons—he is a living Gospel—he comes in the spirit and power of Elias—he is the image of God. And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are God-like, and that God’s grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture: and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.

Charles Kingsley

A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1
The New King James Version

Know all and you will pardon all.

Thomas Kempis
