Wednesday December 17, 2014 thought for the day




HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-God is great not just because nothing is too big for him but also because nothing is too small for him-
2-If you stay in your boat you will never walk on water-
3-If you want to see unexplainable miracles, obey the unexplainable promptings of the Holy Spirit-
4-Some of the hardest moments in life are when you've prayed earnestly and yet the answer seems to be no and you don't know why-
5-I have a lot of unanswered questions and many of them come from unanswered prayers-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT-Pessimist-Someone who is constantly being proven right or pleasantly surprised-
 
I'VE LEARNED-Grandmas hold our hand for just a little while but our hearts forever-
 
DID YOU KNOW-The Brady Bunch kids went to elementary school at Dixie Canyon Elementary-
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Did those speaking in languages not their native language on Pentecost day know what they were saying?
2-When on the day of Pentecost, people from areas who spoke these different languages heard the group speak in their native language. Could they communicate with each other?
3-When Peter addressed the crowd, what language did he speak to those listening to him?
4-When Peter proclaimed Jesus as the Christ to the crowd he said what was happening was what the prophet Joel had spoken of "in the last days, God says I will pour out my spirit on all people".  Were those the last days?
5-Peter told the crowd "repent and be baptized in he name of Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."  So, the Holy Spirit came to the people without asking him to do so?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA-How was Joseph told about Jesus' miraculous conception?
Answer for today     In a dream   Matthew 1:18-21
 
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Mark 4:26-29
26 Then Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is like someone who plants seed in the ground. 27 Night and day, whether the person is asleep or awake, the seed still grows, but the person does not know how it grows. 28 By itself the earth produces grain. First the plant grows, then the head, and then all the grain in the head. 29 When the grain is ready, the farmer cuts it, because this is the harvest time.
 
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
 Praying manFather of all wisdom, we who are children of the light, do not live as those in darkness. Instead You have shown us right from wrong, truth from error, and You have given us discernment to test the spirits to see that which is from You and that which is from the evil one. The foundations seem to be shaking as we are flooded with a tidal wave of twists and spins that seeks to confuse or demean the believer. We clothe ourselves daily with godly armor, both defensive and offensive weaponry since our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but rather the authorities from this world. Keep our souls untainted by the changing rhetoric and sliding standards from our decadent society as we stand against the spiritual forces of evil like the men of Issachar. Help us to walk boldly in the conviction power of the Holy Spirit today, we pray in Jesus’ name.  Amen.
 
LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!

 Yes! We are FAMILY!
