HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-God comes into my life not to change my neighbors, children or family, but to change me-

3-Nothing helps depression like helping others-

4-Teach me God in all things to see you in anything I do and to do it as for you-

5-Everybody is somebody-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft.  Today it is called golf-

 

I'VE LEARNED-We are so busy growing up, we often forget that our parents are growing old-

5 THING I WANT TO KNOW

1-Deuteronomy chapter 21 says that anyone who is hung on a pole is under God's curse. Did that apply to Jesus?

3-Was Rahab justified in lying to save the lives of the two spies?

4-When did Rahab come to have faith in the Israelites God?

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who said " But may the Lord keep me from harming his appointed king!"

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY   Galatians 5:13-14

¹³ My brothers and sisters, God called you to be free, but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful self. Serve each other with love. ¹⁴ The whole law is made complete in this one command: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Jesus, thank you for freeing me to no longer serve my flesh, but to serve you, my risen savior-

 

MAY YOU HAVE ENOUGH HAPPINESS TO MAKE YOU SWEET, ENOUGH TRIALS TO MAKE YOU STRONG, ENOUGH SORROW TO KEEP YOU HUMAN AND ENOUGH HOPE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY-
