Thursday February 20, 2014 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Random acts of kindness in the name of Jesus are the greatest gifts you can give because others cannot reciprocate back to you-

2-How you live your life each day shows others how important God is to you and how much you love him-

3-I need to ask myself daily, what kind of witness am I to God's loving kindness and forgiveness-

4-Jesus died so we can be free from all sin to live in victory every day of our lives-

5-In the natural world, the gospel of Jesus doesn't make sense-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Wrinkles are something other people have.  I have character lines-

 

I'VE LEARNED-The hand that gives, gathers-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Porcupines are excellent swimmers because their quills are hollow-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Can we be a believer in and follower of Jesus without a total submission and surrender to him?

2-Why didn't Jesus' body decompose over 3 days?

3-The Bible reports that at Jesus' death  many people were brought back to life.  Why was there no first hand interview and recording of the event?

4-Did any of the town people or the religious leaders come to verify that Jesus' tomb was empty?

5-How were the women planning on anointing Jesus' body when his tomb had been covered, sealed and guarded?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    John 5:6-9

⁶ When Jesus saw the man and knew that he had been sick for such a long time, Jesus asked him, “Do you want to be well?”⁷ The sick man answered, “Sir, there is no one to help me get into the pool when the water starts moving. While I am coming to the water, someone else always gets in before me.”⁸ Then Jesus said, “Stand up. Pick up your mat and walk.” ⁹ And immediately the man was well; he picked up his mat and began to walk.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, in the midst of our trials may the problem at hand not be the single focus of our prayers. Help us to seek You for godly understanding and patient endurance, so that our lives are spiritually maturing in the process of waiting upon You to answer our prayers. May seeking You be our primary focus in fulfillment of Christ’s command in Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto You.” In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
