Tuesday July 30, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-You become the slave of what you chose to obey-

2-The gospel of Luke seems to revolve around the word savior-

3-In this life, it is not what we take up, but what we give up that makes us rich-

4-Take away the cause and the effect ceases-

5-A different world cannot be built by indifferent people-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Work like you don't need money-love like you've never been hurt-dance like no one is watching-give when no one notices-

 

I'VE LEARNED-You can't recover time after it is gone-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The male argus pheasant of Asia has the longest feathers of all the flying birds.  Its tail feathers can reach a length of six feet-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Acts 12:16-19

¹⁶ Peter continued to knock, and when they opened the door, they saw him and were amazed. ¹⁷ Peter made a sign with his hand to tell them to be quiet. He explained how the Lord led him out of the jail, and he said, “Tell James and the other believers what happened.” Then he left to go to another place.

¹⁸ The next day the soldiers were very upset and wondered what had happened to Peter. ¹⁹ Herod looked everywhere for him but could not find him. So he questioned the guards and ordered that they be killed.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, as we march onward to Zion and uphold the Biblical view of righteous living, we are often mocked or dismissed as a radical bunch of Jesus followers. But we know that it is the righteous remnant who restrain Your wrath in the midst of the flood of evildoers. You are not willing that any should perish, but that all should turn to salvation. You didn’t send Jesus to earth to condemn the world but to provide redemption for all who believe upon Your name. We do believe and respond by walking in the ways of righteousness. It is by grace that we are saved, so we give You thanks through Christ Jesus our Lord in whose name we pray. Amen.


I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
