Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - November 30

Ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them. 2 Corinthians 6:16

These temples were reared for Him. Let Him fill them so completely that, like the oriental temple of glass in the ancient legend, the temple shall not be seen, but only the glorious sunlight, which not only shines into it, but through it, and the transparent walls are all unseen. —A. B. Simpson

With God all things are possible. —Mark 10:27

Unbelief says, “How can such and such things be?” It is full of “hows;” but faith has one great answer to the ten thousand “hows,” and that answer is—God! —C. H. Mackintosh

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - November 28

He touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank. —Genesis 32:32

Whatever it is that enables a soul, whom God designs to bless, to stand out against Him, God will touch. It may be the pride of wealth, or of influence, or of affection; but it will not be spared—God will touch it. It may be something as natural as a sinew; but if it robs a man of spiritual blessing God will touch it. It may be as small a thing as a sinew; but its influence in making …

Quiet Hour - Day 330

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - November 26

The Lord . . . thy habitation. —Psalm 91:9

We go home without arrangement. We plan our visits, and then go home because they are over. Duty, want, a host of things, lead us forth elsewhere; but the heart takes us home. Blessed, most blessed is he whose thoughts pass up to God, not because they are driven like a fisherman’s craft swept by the fierceness of the storm, not because they are forced by want or fear, not because they are led by the hand of duty, but because God is in his …

Quiet Hour - Day 329

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - November 25

Call to remembrance the former days. —Hebrews 10:32

The former days—times of trial, conflict, discouragement, temptation. Did we oftener call these to remembrance, with how much more delight would we make the covert of God’s faithfulness our refuge, exclaiming with the psalmist, “Because Thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of Thy wings will I rejoice.” —R. Fuller

Quiet Hour - Day 328

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - November 24

Singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. —Colossians 3:16

Remember your life is to be a singing life. This world is God’s grand cathedral for you. You are to be one of God’s choristers, and there is to be a continual Eucharistic sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving going up from your heart, with which God shall be continually well pleased. And there should be not only the offering of the lips, but the surrender of the life with joy. Yes, with joy, and not with constraint. Every faculty …

Quiet Hour - Day 327

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - November 23

Faithful is He that calleth you, who also will do it. —1 Thessalonians 5:24

Earthly faithfulness is possible only by the reception of heavenly gifts. As surely as every leaf that grows is mainly water that the plant has got from the clouds, and carbon that it has got out of the atmosphere, so surely will all our good be mainly drawn from heaven and heaven’s gifts. As certainly as every lump of coal that you put upon your fire contains in itself sunbeams that have been locked up for all these …
