This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

Men love to trust God (as they profess) for what they have in their hands, in possession, or what lies in an easy view; place their desires afar off, carry their accomplishment behind the clouds out of their sight, interpose difficulties and perplexities—their hearts are instantly sick. They cannot wait for God; they do not trust Him, nor ever did. Would you have the presence of God with you? Learn to wait quietly for the salvation you expect from Him.

John Owen

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

Psalm 34:1
The New International Version

Men who fear God face life fearlessly. Men who do not fear God end up fearing everything.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

This Day’s Thought-Friday

The authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man’s reason.

Martin Luther

But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.

Psalm 3:3
The New King James Version

You will never find Jesus so precious as when the world is one vast howling wilderness. Then he is like a rose blooming in the midst of the desolation, a rock rising above the storm.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

I am born for God only. Christ is nearer to me than father, or mother, or sister—a near relation, a more affectionate Friend; and I rejoice to follow Him, and to love Him. Blessed Jesus! Thou art all I want—a forerunner to me in all I ever shall go through as a Christian, a minister, or a missionary.

Henry Martyn

“And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”

Acts 20:32
The English Standard Version

Joy is the serious business of heaven.

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.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

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.

L. James Harvey

This Day’s Thought-Monday

The union of my soul with God is my wealth in poverty and joy in deepest afflictions.

Elizabeth Ann Seton

“And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

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
