This Day’s Thought-Friday

A large measure of disappointment with God stems from disillusionment with other Christians.

Philip Yancey

The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.”

John 4:25-26
The English Standard Version

There are many who agree with God in principle but not in practice.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

We often find that we were better persons just after our conversion than we are after many years of being a Christian. Every day that passes should make us more like Christ, but we tend to grow cooler rather than warmer.

Thomas a Kempis

Steady plodding brings prosperity; hasty speculation brings poverty.

Proverbs 21:5
The Living Bible

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Christians don’t work in order to go to heaven; they work because they are going to heaven. Arrogance and fear are replaced with gratitude and joy.

Max Lucado

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.

2 Thessalonians 3:16
The New International Version

You are the light of the world, but the switch must be turned on.

The well-defined spiritual life is not only the highest life, but it is also the most easily lived. The whole cross is more easily carried than the half. It is the man who tries to make the best of both worlds who makes nothing of either. And he who seeks to serve two masters misses the benediction of both. But he who has taken his stand, who has drawn a boundary-line sharp and deep about his religious life, who has marked off all beyond as forever forbidden ground to him, finds the yoke easy and the burden light. For this forbidden environment comes to be as if it were not. And the balm of death numbing his lower nature releases him for the scarce disturbed communion of a higher life. So even here to die is gain.

Henry Drummond

For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

Isaiah 41:13

It may be all right for angels to spend their time in visions and meditation, but if I am a Christian, I find God in the ordinary occurrences of my life.

Oswald Chambers

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 1:1-2
The 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.

I remember my mother, my father and the rest of us praying together each evening. It is God’s greatest gift to the family.

Mother Teresa

The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. This is my God, and I will praise him—my father’s God, and I will exalt him!

Exodus 15:2
The New Living Translation

Keep the other person’s well-being in mind when you feel an attack of soul-purging truth coming on.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

The world has forgotten the joys of silence, the peace of solitude which is necessary, to some extent, for the fullness of human living. Not all are called to be hermits, but all need enough silence and solitude in their lives to enable the deep inner voice of their own true self to be heard at least occasionally.

Thomas Merton

For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.

Psalm 139:13-14
The New King James Version

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

Fearless devotion to Jesus Christ ought to mark the saint today, but more often it is devotion to our set that marks us. We are more concerned about being in agreement with Christians than about being in agreement with God.

Oswald Chambers

The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.

Proverbs 15:29
The English Standard Version

To love someone more clearly every day,
To help a wandering child to find his way,
To ponder o’er a noble thought and pray,
And smile when evening falls—this is my task.

Maude Louise Ray

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Saints have never yet reached the limit to the possibilities of prayer. Whatever has been attained or achieved has touched but the fringe of the garment of a prayer-hearing God. We honor the riches both of His power and love only by large demands.

Arthur T. Pierson

“Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son.”

Acts 20:28
The Revised Standard Version

How long does it take to become a Christian? A moment—and a lifetime.

Louis Cassels

And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Luke 5:31-32
The King James Version

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.

George Washington Carver
