Sunday April 26, 2015 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-Any Christian who is committed to God should expect Satan's attacks.  Satan who hates God also hates God's people-

2-God's people can overcome Satan's attacks through God's power-

4-God is fully aware of every attempt by Satan to bring suffering and difficulty on us-

5-God is never surprised by our troubles and is always compassionate-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-What does the word "benign" mean.  It is what you will be after you be eight-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Blood doesn't bind, love does-

 

DID YOU KNOW-An animal epidemic is called an "epizootic"-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-When the Holy Spirit comes into our life, why do we still have a struggle with sin?

2-What qualities must a person have that God uses?

3-Should you seek God's power or just wait for God to give it to you?

4-Can you know when God uses you?

5-Who is more likely to see angels, children or adults?

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Mark 15:42-47

⁴² This was Preparation Day. (That means the day before the Sabbath day.) That evening, ⁴³ Joseph from Arimathea was brave enough to go to Pilate and ask for Jesus’ body. Joseph, an important member of the Jewish council, was one of the people who was waiting for the kingdom of God to come. ⁴⁴ Pilate was amazed that Jesus would have already died, so he called the army officer who had guarded Jesus and asked him if Jesus had already died. ⁴⁵ The officer told Pilate that he was dead, so Pilate told Joseph he could have the body. ⁴⁶ Joseph bought some linen cloth, took the body down from the cross, and wrapped it in the linen. He put the body in a tomb that was cut out of a wall of rock. Then he rolled a very large stone to block the entrance of the tomb. ⁴⁷ And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw the place where Jesus was laid.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, Your Word declares that Jesus rose from the dead. The eyewitnesses to this glorious miracle were initially in disbelief but when they were face to face with Jesus they were filled with jubilant hope. It is because You live that we live also. You’ve put our sin nature to death and raised our spiritual nature to life. And one day our physical nature will give way to death but because of Your power over the grave we will be resurrected to eternal life. Praise be to God, the Lord is risen indeed! Amen.


I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
