Thursday October 18, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-We need to live a life of immediate obedience to God-

2-For good relationships, listen to what is intended not to what is said-

3-Christians should try to see how holy they can be, not how close to the world they an get and still be a Christian-

4-Walking alone in the dark with a friend is better than walking alone in the light-

5-God says. "I don't need you abilities, I want your availability"-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-With her marriage, she got a new name and a dress-

 

I'VE LEARNED-I feared ridicule until I learned how to laugh at myself-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The first man to return safely from space was Yuri Gagarin-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-If Jesus was co equal with God the father, and filled with the Holy Spirit, why did he have to pray and seek his father's counsel and will?

2-Could Jesus have selected other men as disciples who would have been stronger leaders and followers?

3-Do we know of anyone who wanted to be a disciple but wasn't chosen to be one?

4-What was the occupation of each chosen disciple?

5-Why did Jesus choose most of his disciples from Galilee?

 

BVIBLE TRIVIA-What did the hungry Esau give up to Jacob in exchange for food?

Yesterday's answer-A pharisee   Luke 18:9-14

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     John 3:9-15

⁹ Nicodemus asked, "How can this happen?"

 ¹⁰ Jesus said, "You are an important teacher in Israel, and you don't understand these things? ¹¹ I tell you the truth, we talk about what we know, and we tell about what we have seen, but you don't accept what we tell you.¹² I have told you about things here on earth, and you do not believe me. So you will not believe me if I tell you about things of heaven. ¹³ The only one who has ever gone up to heaven is the One who came down from heaven—the Son of Man.^[a]

    ¹⁴ "Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert,^[b]the Son of Man must also be lifted up. ¹⁵ So that everyone who believes can have eternal life in him.

   

Footnotes:

1. John 3:13 the Son of Man Some Greek copies continue, "who is in heaven."
2. John 3:14 Moses . . . Desert When the Israelites were dying from snakebites, God told Moses to put a bronze snake on a pole. The people who looked at the snake were healed (Numbers 21:4–9).

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, thank You for Your repeated warnings in Scripture that informs, instructs and protects us from the evil one. Help us not to ignore Your warnings or procrastinate in our obedience to Your commands. Embolden our spiritual leaders to be fearless watchmen who speak out Your truths, even when they’re not popular or politically expedient.  May we be receptive to Your Word and obedient in our response.  In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.
