Sunday August 18, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Without forgiveness the cycle of hatred never ends-

2-The best reason to be free from unforgiveness is so that our prayers will not be hindered-

3-Unforgiveness binds us to the one we resent and hatred keeps us focused on them-

4-When we forgive others, it doesn't mean they won't have to account for what they have done-

5-It is not God's desire for us to go after someone in order to get revenge-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Why do we sing "Take me out to the ball game" when we are already there?

 

I'VE LEARNED-Faith is the ability to not panic-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Macaws are the largest and most colorful species of the parrot family-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What does submission to God look like?

2-What can Christians expect as a result of obedience to God?

3-Did Noah ever have any doubts about what he was doing in response to God calling him to build an ark?

4-How long did it take for the post flood earth to become absolutely wicked again?

5-Why didn't the great flood kill all vegetation that it covered for so long?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Which of the apostles were fishermen?

Yesterday's answer-Andrew

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Acts 14:19-20

¹⁹ Then some evil people came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded the people to turn against Paul. So they threw stones at him and dragged him out of town, thinking they had killed him. ²⁰ But the followers gathered around him, and he got up and went back into the town. The next day he and Barnabas left and went to the city of Derbe.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

  Jesus, You are the Solid Rock that keeps us anchored in this vast landscape of shifting sands. Our unfading hope is secured in Your finished work on the cross and our guide map is the inspired Holy Scriptures that make us wise unto salvation. Help us to resist the temptation to look further or to add to Your clearly prescribed plan for living a life that pleases You. We offer to You our lives as living sacrifices. May they be holy and pleasing to You. Amen.

 

 

 

I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS.....
