Wednesday October 24, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-It is what Jesus, who became the perfect man, did at the end of his ministry that makes his birth so special-

2-Without Jesus' death and resurrection, his birth is meaningless-

3-Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up-

4-The key to personal success is persistence-

5-Genius is just another way to spell perseverance-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Did you hear about the fellow whose whole left side was cut off.  He's all right now-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Do not judge by appearances for a rich heart may be under a poor coat-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman to enter space-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What one thing deeply troubles Jesus?

2-Was Jesus showing anger when he denounced certain actions-

3-What was to be gained by God keeping certain truths hidden from the religious leaders while revealing it to ordinary people-

4-Is it true that whoever has been forgiven little loves little"?

5-The woman at Simon's house who washed Jesus' feet was forgiven because she "loved much".  Where was confession or repentance?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-According to the law, how much tax did all adult Israelites have to pay when the census was taken?

Yesterday's answer-The chief priests   Matthew 28:11-15

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     John 4:5-8

⁵ In Samaria Jesus came to the town called Sychar, which is near the field Jacob gave to his son Joseph.⁶Jacob's well was there. Jesus was tired from his long trip, so he sat down beside the well. It was about twelve o'clock noon. ⁷ When a Samaritan woman came to the well to get some water, Jesus said to her, "Please give me a drink." ⁸ (This happened while Jesus' followers were in town buying some food.)

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, You reign forever and ever and Your Kingdom knows no end. Thank You for Your plan of salvation that includes us in Your kingdom and for the eternality of our souls. Since everything has an expiration date in this life eternity is hard to grasp, yet fills us with anticipation for the everlasting life yet to come. Keep us hope-filled and faithful as we journey here below. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
