This Day’s Thought-Friday

In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy.

John Piper

The Lord says: Take warning and live; do no unnecessary work on the Sabbath day, but make it a holy day.

Jeremiah 17:21-22
The Living Bible

What religion needs today is not more flying with God, or leaping with God, or jumping up and down with God, or going into spasms and convulsions and epileptic fits with God. What religion needs today is more walking with God.

Milo H. Gates

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Every day I walk myself into a state of well-being, and walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it.

Soren Kierkegaard

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Ephesians 6:10-11
The King James Version

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

We are tempted to use God when we ought to be used by God.

Sherman S. Robinson

Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.

Psalm 141:3
The New King James Version

I go walking, and the hills loom above me, range upon range, one against the other. I cannot tell where one begins and another leaves off. But when I talk with God He lifts me up where I can see clearly, where everything has a distinct contour.

Madame Chiang Kai-shek

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

The word of God is the Christian soul’s best weapon, and it is essential to have it with him always. In doubt it decides, in consultation it directs; in anxiety it reassures; in sorrow it comforts; in failure it encourages; in defense it protects; in offense it is mightier than the mighty.

Wilfred T. Grenfell

Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.

1 Chronicles 16:11

What happens to us is not nearly as important as what God does in us and through us.

Julie Ackerman Link

There is none like you, O Lord; you are great, and your name is great in might. Who would not fear you, O King of the nations? For this is your due; for among all the wise ones of the nations and in all their kingdoms there is none like you.

Jeremiah 10:6-7
The English Standard Version

We make a ladder of our vices, if we trample those same vices underfoot.

Augustine

Keep a wide gulf between yourself and your possessions.

Herb VanderLugt

“Hearken to me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by me from your birth, carried from the womb; even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.”

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage, or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.

Andy Rooney

Oh, how great is Your goodness, Which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You In the presence of the sons of men!

Psalm 31:19
The New King James Version

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

It is better to learn early of the inevitable depths, for then sorrow and death take their proper place in life, and one is not afraid.

Pearl S. Buck

Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.

Hebrews 9:15
The English Standard Version

Open your eyes and the whole world is full of God.

Jakob Bohme

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Resolved, to live with all my might while I do live….
Resolved, never to do anything which I should despise or think meanly of in another;
Resolved, never to do anything out of revenge.
Resolved, never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

Jonathan Edwards

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

Job 36:22
The King James Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

God has given us two hands—one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.

Billy Graham

“The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17
The New International Version

You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do.

J. R. R. Tolkien
