This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Thursday

If we do our honest and earnest best to do God’s will, we may leave the rest with him. We are not charged with the responsibility of bringing the world to Christ, but we are commissioned to take Christ to the world. We are not ordered to bring men to the cross, but to lift Christ up and He will draw all men unto Himself.
James M. Tulloch

Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
Mark 11:20-24
The New King James Version

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Wednesday

Often with the poorest people you cannot completely alleviate their problem but by being with them, whatever you can do for them makes a difference.
Brother Geoff

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.”
Acts 17:24-25
The New International Version

A cardinal was approached one day in the cathedral by a very excited young priest. “Your Eminence,” the priest cried, “a woman claims to have seen a vision of the Savior in the chapel. What should we do?” “Look busy,” the cardinal said. “Look busy.”

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Tuesday

A reminder of our annual retreat coming this weekend…information and link at the bottom of today’s message!

Prayer allows a place for me to bring my doubts and complaints and subject them to the blinding light of reality I cannot comprehend but can haltingly learn to trust.
Philip Yancey

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
John 20:24-29

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Monday

God’s infinitude places him so far above our knowing that a lifetime spent in cultivating the knowledge of him leaves as much yet to learn as if we had never begun.
A. W. Tozer

“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.”
Psalm 39:7
The English Standard Version

The place to be happy is here;
The time to be happy is now;
The way to be happy is to make others so.

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Friday

To take up the cross of Christ is no great action done once for all; it consists in the continual practice of small duties which are distasteful to us.
John Henry Newman

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.
Hebrews 11:1-3
The New Living Translation

If you live long enough, you’ll see everything.
Talmud

This Day’s Thought from The Ranch- Thursday

The soul on earth is an immortal guest,
completed to starve at an unreal feast;
a pilgrim panting for the rest to come;
an exile, anxious for this native home.
Hannah More

“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”
Matthew 10:27-31
The New King James Version
