Tuesday September 15, 2015 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-When you sin, the pleasure of the planting is surpassed by the pain of the harvest-

2-If sin were never pleasurable, we would never do it-

3-Confession and forgiveness do not stop the harvest-

4-You cannot sow wild oats and then pray for a crop failure-

5-Those who have no close friends have to be the loneliest people on earth-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-act naturally

 

I'VE LEARNED-Be calm in arguing, for fierceness makes error a fault and truth discourtesy-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The most common name for a pastor's boat is "visitation"-When someone calls to talk to the pastor the secretary can say "He is out on visitation!"

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why is there no evidence outside of the Bible to verify the existence of an Israelite king named David?

2-Why was David's first wife childless?

3-What was the "book of Solomon" and what happened to it?

4-What was Abishag the Shunamite's primary duty?

5-Why would King Solomon want so many women as princesses or concubines?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who said "I know that thou can do everything, and that no thought can be withheld from thee?"

Answer for the day      Job     Job 42:2

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Luke 9:46-48

⁴⁶ Jesus’ followers began to have an argument about which one of them was the greatest. ⁴⁷ Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he took a little child and stood the child beside him. ⁴⁸ Then Jesus said, “Whoever accepts this little child in my name accepts me. And whoever accepts me accepts the One who sent me, because whoever is least among you all is really the greatest.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Father, we could bemoan the fact that there are so many heartless people in the world, that evil dominates the headlines, that people in general are not trustworthy, and that terrorism is always a looming threat. But we are heartened and find deep joy in knowing that there are scores and scores of good people who seek to make this world a better place. One of the best ways we can do this is to share Your love by telling others what You have done for us, by sharing of our faith and showing others that Jesus Christ is real to us. Grant us courage to witness to others of the salvation You provide to all who surrender their hearts to You. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen


I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!
