A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

We often move too quickly through life, rushing headlong into the unknown. Be sure you understand what you’re getting into and where you want to go before you take the first step. And if your path raises doubts, be sure you are following God.

“Desire without knowledge is not good, and one who moves too hurriedly misses the way.” Proverbs 19:2 (NRSV)

09/04/2026

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

From the earliest times, the heart has been regarded as the center of a person’s personal life, the source of all his desires, motives, and moral choices. Therefore, it is of no surprise that the Bible speaks frequently of God’s appeal to the heart. Jesus talks about the pure in heart in the beatitudes (Mt. 5:8). Perhaps today would be a good day for a heart check – in spiritual terms.

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

When we have been wronged in some way, it is common to want to take revenge on the person who did wrong to you. However, the Apostle Paul tells us, we should not return wrong for wrong. You should act honorably so that others see your good character, even when people treat you poorly. Further, he tells us to leave revenge up to God, and trust he will ultimately handle those who commit wrongs.

“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.” Romans 12:17-19 (NIV)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

As I look back on my life, I am so thankful that my God has brought me and my family through the roughest of times. A footnote in my Bible says, “Consider the protection of the Lord, for those who love him, his mercy is a refuge, supplying all their needs.”

“The Lord is good, a refuge in time of trouble. He cares for those who trust him.” Nahum 1:7 (NIV)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

If you are a Christian, it is likely you were brought to your belief in Jesus Christ by someone in your life who led you to Him. It may have been your parents or grandparents who took you to church as a child, or perhaps a dear friend invited you to join them at church at some time, beginning your relationship with Christ. As you reflect on your journey, perhaps you should feel encouraged to do your part to reach out to others for our Lord and Savior.

“…you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.” 1 Peter 3:15 (NLT)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I believe in prayer because I’ve had prayer answered. I believe in miracles because I have seen them. I believe in the Word of God because it has spoken to me. I believe in God because he reveals himself in all the above.

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved..” Romans 10:9-10 (NLT)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The music of the church has always been an important part of my life. I sang my first solo at five years old. Most days do not pass that I don’t listen to the old and new songs that honor our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I echo the psalmist,” May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD.” May you find a way to rejoice in the Lord.

“I will sing to the LORD all my life;
I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
as I rejoice in the LORD.”
Psalm 104:33-34 (NIV)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

As my wife and I were driving in our little part of world yesterday, I happened to notice all the storage unit businesses. You and I know of folks who utilize these units, some having more than one unit. As I viewed these businesses I was reminded of our scripture from Matthew, which tells us to measure where our heart is.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Our verse today focuses on the promise of divine guidance, strength, and restoration for those who show compassion to the needy and oppressed. When you show kindness to others, your own spiritual darkness and gloom turn into the brightness of midday. What a wonderful thought.

“Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.” Isaiah 58:10 (NLT)

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Arrogance is the inner voice that whispers, “My way is best.” Our verse today teaches that pride puts a person in direct opposition to God. True wisdom requires humility, recognizing human limits, and depending on the Lord rather than self-importance.

“All those who are arrogant are an abomination to the LORD; be assured, they will not go unpunished.” – Proverbs 16:5 NRSV
