This Day’s Thought-Monday

This Day's Thought

Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us; it is true that we have lost opportunities which will never return, but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep on the bosom of Christ. Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

The Lord says to the people of Israel, “Seek me—and live.”

Amos 5:4
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

We should render thanks to God for having produced this temporal light, which is the smile of heaven and joy of the world, spreading it like a cloth of gold over the face of the air and earth, and lighting it as a torch by which we might behold His works.

This Day's Thought

The crosses which we make for ourselves by a restless anxiety as to the future, are not crosses which come from God.  We show want of faith in Him by our false wisdom, wishing to forestall His arrangements, and struggling to supplement His Providence by our own providence.  The future is not yet ours; perhaps it never will be.  If it comes, it may come wholly different from what we have foreseen.  Let us shut our eyes, then, to that which God hides from us, and keeps in reserve in the treasures of His deep counsels.  Let us worship without seeing; let us be silent; let us abide in peace.

François Fénelon

This Day's Verse

The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

Deuteronomy 33:12
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

If a bird is flying for pleasure, it flies with the wind, but if it meets danger it turns and faces the wind, in order that it may rise higher.
