HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-The crucifixion of Jesus is actually a love story-
2-Salvation only happens at one time--now-
3-If you don't make a choice you already have-
4-Your convictions determine your conduct-
5-Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Velcro is nothing more than a
rip off-
I'VE LEARNED-Forgive your enemies as a part of
the price you pay for the privilege of being forgiven-
DID YOU KNOW-Theodore Roosevelt's mother and
first wife died on the same day in 1884-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Why didn't Saul take Samuel's rebuke at Gilgal?
2-Why did God say that he regretted making Saul King of Israel when he had
foreknowledge of how things would be?
3-When Israel's army killed it's enemies, did they bury them or just let
the corpses rot in the field?
4-When God commanded the Israelites to destroy its enemies and all their
living things, did the commandment "thou shall not kill" not apply?
5-When scripture says that David was a "man after God's heart" did that
mean he was perfect and without sin?
BIBLE TRIVIA-What prophet was able to travel for
forty days on the strength from just a cake and some water?
Answer for today Elijah 1 Kings 19:5-9
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Matthew 5:7
7. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Jesus, the race You've
marked out for us doesn't require nearly as much physical stamina as it does
spiritual endurance. Those who are physically weak due to disease, illness, and
aging are just as qualified to run as those who have young athletic bodies. It’s
a spiritual race where You call us to perseverance as we discard those things
that would trip us up, lead us on a disastrous detour or a total defeat. The
great cloud of witnesses spur us on; those from the Biblical period, throughout
history, and from our own generation. But above all we thank You, Jesus, that
You endured the cross and all the suffering that accompanied it, being spurred
on by the joy You knew that would be Yours afterward. You cheer us on by Your
own example and by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit that sustains us in
our struggle against sin. Keep us faithful to the finish line as it is an entry
way into a life unentangled by any form of sin in the perfect world God created
for us. Amen.TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND!
