This Day’s Thought-Monday

Spend one hour a day in adoration of the Lord and you’ll be all right.

Mother Teresa

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

1 Peter 1:6-7
The New King James Version

The headmistress of the boarding school I attended used to say, “Don’t go around with a Bible under your arm if you don’t sweep under the bed.” She was looking for a genuine faith, which is always practical faith. She wanted no spiritual talk coming out of a messy room.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

When I am liberated by silence, when I am no longer involved in the measurement of life, but in the living of it, I can discover a form of prayer in which there is effectively no distraction. My whole life becomes a prayer. My whole silence is full of prayer. The world of silence in which I am immersed contributes to my prayer.

Thomas Merton

“And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.”

“Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.”

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

When your burden is heaviest, you can always lighten a little some other burden. At the times when you cannot see God, there is still open to you this sacred possibility, to show God; for it is the love and kindness of human hearts through which the divine reality comes home to men, whether they name it or not. Let this thought, then, stay with you: there may be times when you cannot find help, but there is no time when you cannot give help.

George S. Merriam

Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool; what is the house which you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things are mine, says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.

Isaiah 66:1-2
The Revised Standard Version

This Day’s Thought-Monday

My life is an instant, a fleeting hour. My life is a moment, which swiftly escapes me. O my God, you know that on earth I have only today to love you.

Therese of Lisieux

So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Genesis 1:27-28
The New King James Version

A man is known by the company his mind keeps.

How we live our lives today as followers of Christ is our “note” to the world.

Bill Crowder

Bless the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

Psalm 104:1-4
The King James Version

Love is the river of life in the world.

Calling sin by a softer name will change neither its offensiveness to God nor its cost to us.

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was “Thank You,” that would suffice.

Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.

The New International Version

Please send me pony…I never ask for anything before…you can look it up.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you’re going to live it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it, and find out the truth about who you are.

Anne Lamott

If your enemy is hungry, give him food! If he is thirsty, give him something to drink! This will make him feel ashamed of himself, and God will reward you.

Proverbs 25:21-22
The Living Bible
