In 1895 Isabella began a monthly series titled “Daily Thoughts,” which appeared the first day of each month in The Pansy magazine.

“Daily Thoughts” consisted of a list of Bible verses meant to be read individually, one each day.

What made Isabella’s “Daily Thoughts” different from other Bible devotionals of the time, was that she didn’t print the actual verse; she only gave the citation. She hoped doing so would encourage readers to open their Bibles each day and look up the verses for themselves.

With each verse she listed, Isabella offered a brief comment or question to help her readers better understand the text.

Her selected verses for February 1895 are from the Book of Romans and the First Epistle of John.
