Monday October 24, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-We are known by our scars-
2-Until you have healing over your hurts you don't have much of an effective witness to others-
3-You have to chose to be healed of your hurts-
4-Scars are a sign of healing and show a testimony of God's grace-
5-Forgiveness of hurts is necessary in order to receive God's healing-
STRANGE THOUGHT-I am no longer like I was, I now am like I is-
I'VE LEARNED-It is not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich-
DID YOU KNOW-The arm hole in clothing is called an armsaye-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Would the community have know about Mary's condition before going to live with Joseph?
2-How could Joseph have not followed his religious training just because an angel told him to do what was in conflict with the Torah--after all, he had a pregnant fiance and a coming "illegitimate" child?
3-It appears that Joseph died before Jesus did, so did Mary ever marry again?
4-If Mary was a widow when Jesus was an adult, who provided for her?
5-Is simply talking to God praying?
BIBLE TRIVIA-Which epistle mentions the voice of Balaam's donkey?
Yesterday's answer-Darius Daniel 6:20
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 7:25-31
Questions About Getting Married
25 Now I write about people who are not married. I have no command from the Lord about this; I give my opinion. But I can be trusted, because the Lord has shown me mercy.26 The present time is a time of trouble, so I think it is good for you to stay the way you are.27 If you have a wife, do not try to become free from her. If you are not married, do not try to find a wife.28 But if you decide to marry, you have not sinned. And if a girl who has never married decides to marry, she has not sinned. But those who marry will have trouble in this life, and I want you to be free from trouble.

29 Brothers and sisters, this is what I mean: We do not have much time left. So starting now, those who have wives should live as if they had no wives.30 Those who are crying should live as if they were not crying. Those who are happy should live as if they were not happy. Those who buy things should live as if they own nothing.31 Those who use the things of the world should live as if they were not using them, because this world in its present form will soon be gone.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Praying manJesus, we want Your counsel to be our guide as we face the enemy’s assault on our personal holiness. As Hollywood and much of the world continues to trivialize and ridicule Biblical Christianity the horrendous consequences are evident as generations of people ignore Your principles established from the beginning of time. We desire to live holy lives which are a direct consequence of following Your statutes. We reject those personalities and influences that confuse our thinking and gradually erode our commitment to purity of mind, body, and spirit. We ask for discernment to recognize worldliness and discipline to embrace that which leads to holiness. Amen.

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