Friday March 27, 2015 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-While we must live with the natural consequences of our sin, God's forgiveness of sin is total-

2-Sometimes forgiving a personal hurt shows more strength than lashing out in revenge-

3-Wisdom is both the ability to discuss what is best and also the strength of character to act on that knowledge-

4-We are to love others without inquiring whether or not they are worthy-

5-Focus on the attributes you have rather than on those you lack-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Why is there an expiration date on sour cream?

 

I'VE LEARNED-Old age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The word calendar comes from Latin and means "to call out"-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What does it mean to "carry each others burdens?"

2-What does the Bible mean saying "carry each others burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ"?

3-Do many Christians live totally by faith?

4-How do we "receive God's grace in vain"?

5-We say that God is in control of this world yet the Bible says the ruler of this world is satan.  Which is right?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What was the first Bible to use italics for explanatory and connective words and phrases?

Answer for today     The Geneva Bible (1560)

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Mark 12:35-37

³⁵ As Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he asked, “Why do the teachers of the law say that the Christ is the son of David? ³⁶ David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, said:

‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit by me at my right side,
    Until I put your enemies under your control.”’ Psalm 110:1

³⁷ David himself calls the Christ ‘Lord,’ so how can the Christ be his son?” The large crowd listened to Jesus with pleasure.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Father, we thank You for those who make known the “unknown God” to the people of a foreign land or right here in our own homeland. More and more we hear of those who pray or look to a “higher power” for help in their day to day struggles. How unfortunate for them if they do not know You personally, Father God, to be the Highest Power available to all creation. From the very beginning You created a hunger within our hearts to serve you, but far too many misfeed that hunger and rather look to “gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill”. Instead we are to feed our spiritual hunger by serving You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. As we draw near to You, You promise to draw near to us. Thank You for making Yourself known to us in Your Word as we immerse ourselves in Your truths. Amen.
