Dear Ministry Members,

From ministry member Mark of Vilas, NC…
I’ve been a supporter of This Day’s Thought for many years. Receiving their daily emails of noble and happy thoughts is one of the highlights of my entire day. When I was a young boy, my family had a box of Bible verses that stayed on our kitchen table. Before the main meal each day, someone would read the short verse and pray. Sometimes we discussed the verse; other times, it was simply read and returned to its holder. But the steady, daily exposure to God’s Word was having a profound effect on my life that I wouldn’t fully understand until I grew up and left home. As I’ve sawn, sanded, and nailed each little box together, it’s been my prayer that each one will find fertile soil in the lives and homes of those to whom they are mailed. The box is handmade in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina from reclaimed wood, and it’s my great honor to place these selected quotes from This Day’s Thought into your hands. May the Lord bless you, grow your faith, and guide you on your journey toward our heavenly home. In Him, Mark, Vilas, NC

Joy is not mere happiness.
Nor does joy spring from a life of ease, comfort, or peaceful circumstances.
Joy is the soul’s buoyant response to a God of promise, presence, and power.
Susan Lenzkes
Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:3
The New King James Version
The almighty Father will use life’s reverses to move you forward.

Of all persons the Christian should be best prepared for whatever the New Year brings. He has dealt with life at its source. In Christ he has disposed of a thousand enemies that other men must face alone and unprepared. He can face his tomorrow cheerful and unafraid because yesterday he turned his feet into the ways of peace and today he lives in God. The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation.
A. W. Tozer
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2 Peter 3:13
The King James Version
And during the New Year may you have:
enough happiness to keep you sweet – enough trials to keep you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human – enough hope to keep you happy,
enough failure to keep you humble – enough success to keep you eager,
enough friends to give you comfort – enough wealth to meet your needs,
enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow, and
enough determination to make each day better than the day before.

Though the Bible urges us on to perfection it gives no encouragement to suppose that perfection is achieved….A man who thinks he is righteous is not righteous…for the reason, primarily, that he is full of spiritual pride, the most deadly form that sin can take.
D. Elton Trueblood
A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense.
Proverbs 19:11
The New International Version
We will have eternity to celebrate the victories, but only a few hours before sunset to win them.

The simple heart that freely asks in love, obtains.

No persuasive technique will ever take the place of your personal testimony. If you have not discovered the value of telling others how God rearranged your life, you’ve missed a vital link in the chain of His plan for reaching the lost.
Charles Swindoll
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
Psalm 106:3
The King James Version
The mind is like a clock that is constantly running down. It has to be wound up daily with good thoughts.
Fulton J. Sheen
