Thursday November 5, 2015 thought for the day

 

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-The secret to loving is living loved-

2-If broken promises were lumber we could build a mansion with it-

3-Patience is the premier expression of love-

4-Patience isn't being naive, it isn't ignoring misbehavior, it simply is being slow to boil over-

5-Patience is more than a virtue for long lines and slow waiters, it is the red carpet upon which God's grace approaches us-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Sanitary landfill-

 

I'VE LEARNED-God never stops at pointing the way.  He is always with us as we go-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The color of a chili is no indication of its spiciness, but size usually is for the smaller the pepper, the hotter it is-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How did Jesus feel about Judas?  Did he forgive him?

2-Who tried, convicted and ultimately executed Jesus?

3-Is putting the blame on the Jewish people for Jesus' execution the awful seeds of Christian anti semitism?

4-Why don't the Gospels agree about the interrogation following Jesus' arrest at Gethsemane and what took place?

5-What was the final charge against Jesus on which Pilate finally sentenced Jesus to death?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-This new testament passage is from what old testament book?-"he shall not strive, nor cry: neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets"    

  Matthew 12:19

Answer for today     Isaiah 42:2

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY       Luke 13:18-21

¹⁸ Then Jesus said, “What is God’s kingdom like? What can I compare it with? ¹⁹ It is like a mustard seed that a man plants in his garden. The seed grows and becomes a tree, and the wild birds build nests in its branches.”
²⁰ Jesus said again, “What can I compare God’s kingdom with? ²¹ It is like yeast that a woman took and hid in a large tub of flour until it made all the dough rise.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

  Father, we don’t want to merely listen to Your Word and so deceive ourselves thinking that we have fulfilled the law of Christ. Instead we want to listen and apply Your truths, thereby obeying Your commands and honoring You in all we think, say and do. Take Your truth, plant it deep in us; shape and fashion us in Your likeness so that the light of Christ will be seen in us through our acts of love, our deeds of faith, and our words of truth. Fulfill in us Your purposes for Your own glory and honor we pray. Amen.

 

MAY YOU ALWAY HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE-
