Quiet Hour - Day 280
Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - October 7
When I sit in darkness the LORD shall be a light unto me. —Micah 7:8
If you are willing to choose the seeming darkness of faith instead of the illumination of reason, wonderful light will break out upon you from the Word of God. —A. J. Gordon

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - October 6
When they saw the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. —Matthew 2:10
We who look for Jesus ought to be joyful; it is no credit to our Lord when we look as though we were seeking His grave. The dull looks of Christ’s followers have injured Him in the sight of the world. Let us, then, smile as we go, for we have the star if we will look up and put ourselves in the right path. —Thomas Champness

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - October 5
Happy is the man whom God correcteth. —Job 5:17
Happy, because the correction is designed to bring him into paths of blessedness and peace.
Happy, because there is no unnecessary severity in it.
Happy, because the chastisement is not so much against us, as against our most cruel enemies—our sins.
Happy, because we have abundant words of consolation.
Happy, because whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth.
Happy, because our light affliction is but for a moment. —George Bowen

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - October 4
Be not afraid, only believe. —Mark 5:36
Be not downcast if difficulties and trials surround you in your heavenly life. They may be purposely placed there by God to train and discipline you for higher developments of faith. If He calls you to “toiling in rowing,” it may be to make you the hardier seaman, to lead you to lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and, above all, to drive you to a holier trust in Him who has the vessel and its destinies in His hand, …

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - October 3
They took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus. —Acts 4:13
A Christian should be a striking likeness of Jesus Christ. You have read lives of Christ, beautifully and eloquently written, but the best life of Christ is His living biography, written out in the words and actions of His people. If we were what we profess to be, and what we should be, we would be pictures of Christ; yea, such striking likenesses of Him that the world would not have to hold us up by the hour together, …

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - October 2
God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. —1 John 4:16
God is love; and it is good, as it is true, to think that every sun-ray that touches the earth has the sun at the other end of it; so every bit of love upon God’s earth has God at the other end of it. —Mark Guy Pearse
Quiet Hour - Day 274
Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - October 1
At Jesus’ feet. —Luke 10:39
At Jesus’ feet—that is our place of privilege and of blessing, and here it is that we are to be educated and fitted for the practical duties of life. Here we are to renew our strength while we wait on Him, and to learn how to mount on wings as eagles; and here we are to become possessed of that true knowledge which is power. Here we are to learn how real work is to be done, and to be armed with the true motive power to …

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - September 30
He shall give His angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways. —Psalm 91:11
Count no duty too little, no round of life too small, no work too low, if it come in thy way, since God thinks so much of it as to send His angels to guard thee in it. —Mark Guy Pearse
Quiet Hour - Day 272
Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - September 29
This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. —1 John 5:4
The world conquers me when it succeeds in hindering me from seeing, loving, holding communion with, and serving my Father, God. I conquer it when I lay my hand upon it and force it to help me to get nearer Him, to get more like Him, to think oftener of Him, to do His will more gladly and more constantly. The one victory over the world is to bend it to serve me in the highest things—the attainment …
