Saturday June 4, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-God does not pay every week but he does pay at the end-

2-Don't hoard without sharing, don't discipline without loving,don't lecture without listening-

3-No matter how much you know, you don't know it all-

4-Holiness is spiritual health-

5-The one thing we can give and keep at the same time is our word-

STRANGE THOUGHT-How many times is it appropriate to say "what" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word someone said?

I'VE LEARNED-Rush hour is when everyone is at a standstill-

DID YOU KNOW-Cranberry jelly is the only jelly flavor that comes from the real fruit, not artificial flavoring-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Can we understand scripture as it was originally intended to mean or has cultures over time influenced it's intended meaning?

2-Can anyone be infallible in understanding and interpreting scripture?

3-How can we be sure we are not accepting false doctrines of scripture?

4-How can we be certain that today's Bible translations fully convey the correct meaning of the original languages?

5-What is the Hebrew and Greek meaning of the word "tongues"?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Philippians 3:12-21

Continuing Toward Our Goal

¹² I do not mean that I am already as God wants me to be. I have not yet reached that goal, but I continue trying to reach it and to make it mine. Christ wants me to do that, which is the reason he made me his.¹³ Brothers and sisters, I know that I have not yet reached that goal, but there is one thing I always do. Forgetting the past and straining toward what is ahead,¹⁴ I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above.

¹⁵ All of us who are spiritually mature should think this way, too. And if there are things you do not agree with, God will make them clear to you.¹⁶ But we should continue following the truth we already have.

¹⁷ Brothers and sisters, all of you should try to follow my example and to copy those who live the way we showed you.¹⁸ Many people live like enemies of the cross of Christ. I have often told you about them, and it makes me cry to tell you about them now.¹⁹ In the end, they will be destroyed. They do whatever their bodies want, they are proud of their shameful acts, and they think only about earthly things.²⁰ But our homeland is in heaven, and we are waiting for our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven. ²¹ By his power to rule all things, he will change our humble bodies and make them like his own glorious body.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

I call upon you, O Lord. In the morning you hear me; in the morning I offer you my prayer, watching and waiting.

I lift my heart to you, O Lord, to be strengthened for this day. Be with me in all I do, my God; guide me in all my ways.

I will carry some burdens today; some trials will be mine. So I wait for your help, Lord, lest I stumble and fall.

I will do my work, Father, the work begun by your Son. He lives in me and I in him; may his work today be done.

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!!!
