Do you ever feel the simple need for an encouraging or challenging word to contemplate? A good thought—such as a Bible verse or a quote from someone wise—gives us direction for our own thoughts when they feel aimless.

One Good Thought is written to offer an encouraging word for us to ponder and provide questions or reflections that bring that thought into the reality of our modern lives. Each thought closes with a short prayer that helps us engage with and apply what we learn.

Written by Edna King, the co-author of Woven and Forged, One Good Thought is deep enough to inspire adults, but it’s all family friendly, so you can also read them with kids. We hope you are inspired and encouraged by these words.
