HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-A broken heart can be mended with a thread of kindness-
2-Be a fault mender not a fault finder-
3-Cultivate your character and your reputation will take care of
itself-
4-People, not things are what count-
5-Kind words bring forth kind echoes-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Who crosses the bridge of your nose?
I'VE LEARNED-There are always flowers for those who wish to see them-
DID YOU KNOW-An iceberg contains more heat than a match-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Why did the Bible have to be written over 1500 years, on 3 different
continents, by 40 different writers from many walks of life?
2-Is there any correlation between size and significance?
3-Is God always on time?
4-Do the 10 commandments apply to today as they did in Old Testament
times?
5-To the non Christian, is there any such thing as sin?
BIBLE TRIVIA-Who built the first altar?
Yesterday's answer-Hiram of Tyre 1 Kings 7:13-14
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY John 15:20-25
20 Remember what I told you: A servant is not greater than
his master. If people did wrong to me, they will do wrong to you, too. And if
they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours, too. 21 They will do all this to you on account of me, because
they do not know the One who sent me. 22 If I had
not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have
no excuse for their sin. 23 Whoever
hates me also hates my Father. 24 I did works
among them that no one else has ever done. If I had not done these works, they
would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen what I have done, and yet
they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this
happened so that what is written in their law would be true: ‘They hated me for
no reason.’[a]
Father, we thank You for those who make known the “unknown God”
to the people of a foreign land or right here in our own homeland. More and more
we hear of those who pray or look to a “higher power” for help in their day to
day struggles. How unfortunate for them if they do not know You personally,
Father God, to be the Highest Power available to all creation. From the very
beginning You created a hunger within our hearts to serve you, but far too many
misfeed that hunger and rather look to “gold or silver or stone—an image made by
human design and skill”. Instead we are to feed our spiritual hunger by serving
You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. As we draw near to You, You
promise to draw near to us. Thank You for making Yourself known to us in Your
Word as we immerse ourselves in Your truths. Amen.
Footnotes:
- 15:25 ‘They . . . Reason.’ These words could be from Psalm 35:19 or Psalm 69:4.
