Thursday's Thought

You are holy, Lord, the only God, and Your deeds are wonderful. You are strong, You are great. You are the most high, You are almighty. You, holy Father, are the King of Heaven and earth. You are Three and One, Lord God, all good. You are good, all good, supreme good, Lord God, living and true. You are love, You are wisdom. You are humility, You are endurance. You are rest, You are peace. You are joy, You are gladness, You are justice and moderation. You are riches, and You suffice for us. You are beauty, You are gentleness. You are our protector, You are our guardian and defender. You are courage, You are our heaven and our hope. You are our faith, our great consolation. You are our eternal life, great and wonderful Lord, God Almighty, Merciful Savior. -Francis of Assisi

Thursday's Thought

Do not let your happiness depend on something you may lose...only [upon] the Beloved who will never pass away. -C. S. Lewis

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

 

"In the final analysis, it does not matter what question we are asking. All questions come under one of three headings:

1. Way--we need guidance

2. Truth--we need a norm.

3. Life--we need sustenance.
Jesus said, 'I am' all of these things. Let us bring everything that baffles us into His presence, holding it up before Him by faith. In that Light, the look of things will slowly begin to change, and as we humble ourselves to receive the true answer, our eyes will be opened. We learn to know Christ, then, as we walk in His way, obey His truth, and live His life. He Himself, a living, loving Person, is our answer." -Elisabeth Elliot

Thursday's Thought from Heroes of the Faith

Why don't you join Him in His great global purposes as He shapes a world for His glory? Will you bow down, worship, and serve our great God? Will you tell others of His unfailing, unfaltering, and unshakable love for them? Will you go? -Julia Henry, missionary in Ecuador

Thursday's Thought

Do you think God has made mistake in your life? If instead of being a poor man you had been rich, if instead of being a lone woman you had had one to call you wife and little children to clutch your dress and call you mother, if instead of being tied to the office stool you had been a minister or missionary, you think that you would have been a better, sweeter character. But I want you to understand that God chose for you your lot in life out of myriads that were open to Him, because just where you are you might realize your noblest possibilities. Otherwise God would have made you different from what you are. But your soul, born into His kingdom, was a matter of care and thought to Him, and how best He might nurture you." F.B. Meyer

Thursday's Thought from Heros of the Faith

As we look out into society today, we can understand why so many lives are unhappy. They have never learned that the one secret of happiness is to give to the point of self-denial and self-sacrifice. -F.B. Meyer

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

"...The same faithful Lord who calls me by name and never loses track of my goings reminds us all in a still, small voice, 'Ye are My witnesses that ye might know and believe Me and understand that I am He.' There's our primary responsibility; to know Him. I can't be a witness unless I've seen something, unless I know what it is I am to testify to." -Elisabeth Elliot

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith



"Prayer does not consist in an effort to obtain from God the things that are necessary for this life. Prayer is an effort to lay hold of God Himself, the Author of life, and when we have found Him who is the source of life and have entered into communion with Him, then the whole of life is ours and with Him all that will make life is perfect." -Sadhu Sundar Singh

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

"Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast;
There by His love o'ershaded, sweetly my soul shall rest." -Blind Hymnist Fanny Crosby

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

"Blessed are the single-hearted, for they shall enjoy much peace. If you refuse to be hurried and pressed, if you stay your soul on God, nothing can keep you from that clearness of spirit which is life and peace. In that stillness you will know what His will is." -Amy Carmichael

Thursday's Thoughts From Heroes of the Faith

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God's wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.-Jeremiah Burroughs

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

"Thou hast made us for Thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in Thee." -Augustine

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

Remember, your King is not just heroic, He is an intimate heart friend, And He longs to be an intimate heart friend with you. He is not just majesty, He is mercy. He is not just power, Her is personality. He is not just holy, He has a heart filled with love.

-Eric Ludy, Wrestling Prayer

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

"We are called to be women. The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted God's idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am and all that He wants me to be." -Elisabeth Elliot

Thursday's Thoughts from Heroes of the Faith

"With the veil removed by the rending of Jesus' flesh, with nothing on God's side to prevent us from entering, why do we tarry without? Why do we consent to abide all out days just outside the Holy of Holies and never enter at all to look upon God? We hear the Bridegroom say, 'Let Me see they countenance, let Me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice and thy countenance is comely.' (Song of Songs 2:14) We sense that the call is for us, but still we fail to draw near, and the years pass and we grow old and tired in the outer courts of the tabernacle. What hinders us?" -A. W. Tozer
