Sunday August 19, 2012 thought for today

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-The Prince of Peace transcends all understanding and misunderstanding-

2-Peace is the smile of God reflected in the soul of the believer-

3-Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God no matter what the conflict-

4-All people desire peace but very few desire those things that make for peace-

5-Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-The moment a child is born, a mother is born also.  She never existed before.  The woman existed but not the mother.  She is absolutely something new-

 

I'VE LEARNED-When your past calls, don't answer it for it has nothing new to say to you-

 

DID YOU KNOW-A regulation golf ball has 336 dimples-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What is the "small gate along the narrow road that lead to life"?

2-Can you always tell who a false or a true prophet is?

3-Doesn't it seem that many false prophets start out as true prophets?

4-Did John the Baptist have doubts about the authenticity of Jesus?

5-What did Jesus mean by saying "Blessed is the man who doesn't fall away from his faith on account of me"?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What Old Testament figure  boasted to his two wives that he had killed a young man?

Yesterday's answer-Levi and Simeon     Genesis 34:26

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     Matthew 26:6-13

 ⁶ Jesus was in Bethany at the house of Simon, who had a skin disease.⁷ While Jesus was there, a woman approached him with an alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume. She poured this perfume on Jesus' head while he was eating.

 ⁸ His followers were upset when they saw the woman do this. They asked, "Why waste that perfume?⁹ It could have been sold for a great deal of money and the money given to the poor."

 ¹⁰ Knowing what had happened, Jesus said, "Why are you troubling this woman? She did an excellent thing for me. ¹¹You will always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.¹² This woman poured perfume on my body to prepare me for burial. ¹³ I tell you the truth, wherever the Good News is preached in all the world, what this woman has done will be told, and people will remember her."

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, our little becomes great as You show us how to do good works in Your name. We choose not to be crippled by our limited abilities, wisdom, or lack of creativity. We don’t give to others according to that which we don’t have, but we give to others from the abundance You pour into our lives. May it overflow into those around us as we seek to be a blessing. Direct our footsteps according to Your Word as You give us opportunity for divine encounters this day as we reach out to others in the name of Christ Jesus. It is in His name we pray. Amen.

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
