Thursday October 29, 2015 thought for the day

 

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-The first step after a failure (sin) must be toward the cross-

2-God promises to come at an unexpected time and take us from the world we know to a glorious world we don't yet know-

3-Don't think thoughts you don't want Jesus to know-

4-For the Christian, the return of Jesus is not a mystery to be solved but a day to be anticipated-

5-We make room for Jesus in our hearts and he makes room for us in his father's house-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Political science-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Wealth and luxury bring false security-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Eggplant is a member of the thistle family-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Is most of our worship, prayer and praising to be done in private, not in public?

2-If we attempt to have a good savings, are we serving wealth?

3-Jesus said not to store up for ourselves treasures on earth.  Should Christians not save for retirement, their future or unexpected events?

4-Is all worrying a lack of trust in God to provide?

5-Jesus said not to worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will bring worries of its own.  Why did he say this when he just told us not to worry at all?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-This New Testament passage is from what Old Testament book-"Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.    Matthew 4:10

Answer for today   Deuteronomy    6:13

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Luke 12:49-53

⁴⁹ “I came to set fire to the world, and I wish it were already burning! ⁵⁰ I have a baptism^[a] to suffer through, and I feel very troubled until it is over. ⁵¹ Do you think I came to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, I came to divide it. ⁵² From now on, a family with five people will be divided, three against two, and two against three. ⁵³ They will be divided: father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

Footnotes:

1. 12:50 I . . . Baptism Jesus was talking about the suffering he would soon go through.

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY  

Father, we know that Satan is a thief who “comes only to steal and kill and destroy” and millions fall victim to his enticements. You created us to have an emotional desire for physical and sexual intimacy and in Your perfect plan it is to be fulfilled in a marriage covenant. Knowing our inclination to sin, help us to carefully lay boundary lines to keep us from feeding lust since it can spread like gangrene. Forgive us where we have resented, ignored, or disobeyed Your truths in this area of our lives and help us in dealing with the consequences of our disobedience. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
