HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of
satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded
our best-
2-It is a fatal mistake to assume that God's goal for your life is material
prosperity or popular success as the world defines it-
3-The "abundant life" has nothing to do with material abundance-
4-The only limits to your realization of tomorrow will be your doubts of
today-
5-When Jesus called Peter to step out of the boat and walk to him across
the water, it was a call to voluntarily give up the security of the boat for the
insecurity of walking in rough water-
STRAGE THOUGHT-Why doesn't glue stick to the container?
I'VE LEARNED-Men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by those
with the smallest minds. Think big anyway!
DID YOU KNOW-The acorn woodpecker leaves its food sticking out of the holes
it's drilled in oak trees, making it easy for squirrels and jays to help
themselves-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-When did church leaders first agree on a list of new testament
books?
2-Why was there disagreement on what should be included in the new
testament?
3-What is the "New Covenant" that God said he would make with the Jewish
people?
4-Why did Jesus resurrection, a major miracle, fail to convince most Jewish
people that he was the Messiah?
5-On what basis were the 27 books of the new testament chosen to be a part
of the new testament?
BIBLE TRIVIA-Who succeeded Judas Iscariot as an apostle?
Yesterday's answer-James Acts 12:1-2
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 13:20-25
“After this, God gave them
judges until the time of Samuel the prophet. 21 Then the people asked for a
king, so God gave them Saul son of Kish. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin and
was king for forty years. 22 After God took him away,
God made David their king. God said about him: ‘I have found in David son of
Jesse the kind of man I want. He will do all I want him to do.’ 23 So God has
brought Jesus, one of David’s descendants, to Israel to be its Savior, as he
promised. 24 Before Jesus came, John[a]
preached to all the people of Israel about a baptism of changed hearts and
lives. 25 When he was finishing his work, he said, ‘Who do you
think I am? I am not the Christ. He is coming later, and I am not worthy to
untie his sandals.’

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, we marvel at the miracles Jesus performed, as
recorded in the New Testament. Taking a young boy’s small lunch and feeding
5,000 men along with their wives and families is beyond our imagination. And
then to have leftovers from such a setting is amazing. Just as the disciples and
the crowd learned so much about Jesus through His feeding of the crowd we too
learn that nothing is impossible with You. We also learn from this story that
You are a resourceful God when Jesus instructed that the leftovers be collected
rather than tossed. Help us to be good stewards of all that You provide for us
showing us how to be creative and generous toward others as well. In the name of
Jesus we pray. Amen.
LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH
GOD!!
