Monday November 5, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-The earnest prayer of a righteous man has great reward-

2-When you say "Thy kingdom come" you are inviting Jesus to be present in all areas of your life-

3-Worship is the only valid response to answered prayer-

4-The heart of the human problem is the heart of the human-

5-God loves, He gave, we believe, we live-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Sometimes God has to turn your life upside down so that you can live it right side up-

 

I'VE LEARNED-It is your road and yours alone.  Others may walk it with you but no one can walk it for you-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Carolyn Shoemaker has discovered 32 comets and approximately 300 asteroids-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Should the disciples in the boat with Jesus not have been frightened and worried about the storm they were in?

2-Did Jesus have everything under control during the storm while he was fast asleep in the boat?

3-When Jesus told the storm to be still and it was, was it perfect divine timing or did Jesus actually have divine power over nature?

4-In the calming of the sea while in a boat with Jesus, were the disciples in awe of Jesus power or fearful of it?

5-Was the calming of the sea too much for the disciples to understand?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who sent spies to watch Jesus?

Yesterday's answer-Levi (or Matthew)    Luke 5:29-32

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    John 5:14-18

 ¹⁴ Later, Jesus found the man at the Temple and said to him, "See, you are well now. Stop sinning so that something worse does not happen to you."

 ¹⁵ Then the man left and told his people that Jesus was the one who had made him well.

 ¹⁶ Because Jesus was doing this on the Sabbath day, some evil people began to persecute him. ¹⁷ But Jesus said to them, "My Father never stops working, and so I keep working, too."

 ¹⁸ This made them try still harder to kill him. They said, "First Jesus was breaking the law about the Sabbath day. Now he says that God is his own Father, making himself equal with God!"

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Jesus, You forewarned us that we would undergo persecution if we choose to follow You. But we’re also promised that we will receive the crown of life as we hold firmly to the faith. Ours is not a journey for the faint of heart, but a journey where we endure more than just a moment, more than just for a day. We endure to the end so that we who withstand the test will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him. Keep us trusting and faithful until that day. In Your name we pray. Amen.

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