Wednesday February 22, 2017 thought for the day







 
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-"Blessed" means more than happiness-
2-The beatitudes don't promise laughter, pleasure  or prosperity-
3-To Jesus, "blessed" means the experience of hope and joy, independent of outward circumstances-
4-In the "Kingdom of Heaven", wealth, power and authority are unimportant-
5-Jesus said to rejoice when we are persecuted.  We can be comforted to remember that God's greatest prophets were persecuted-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT
We will never run out of math teachers as long as they multiply-
 
I'VE LEARNED
The Bible doesn't say that "money is the root of all evil", rather "the love of money is the root of all evil"-
 
DID YOU KNOW
Before 1850, golf balls were made of leather and stuffed with feathers-
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Does God demand repentance for atonement?
2-If "thou shall not kill" is valid, why did God demand the Israelites kill their enemy?
3-Does God punish the sins of the fathers to  the 3rd and 4th generations? 
4-If God is a spirit, how can an aroma of an offering be pleasing to him?  
5-Is God masculine?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA 
What Old Testament book contains the prophecy of this event-Jesus resurrection?
Answer for today     Psalm
 
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY
Philippians 2:5-8   Christ himself was like God in everything.
    But he did not think that being equal with God was something to be used for his own benefit.
But he gave up his place with God and made himself nothing.
    He was born as a man
    And became like a servant.
And when he was living as a man,
    He humbled himself and was fully obedient to God,
    Even when that caused his death—death on a cross.
 
PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 
Father, help me to follow the example of Jesus.  Give me a spirit of humility and selfless love-
 
LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!
