Tuesday March 31, 2009 thought for the day



JESUS SUFERED FOR MY TRANSGRESSIONS
Here are my thoughts for today
1-If Jesus was not risen, all Christians would be fools--but He is and they aren't-
2-To be "in Christ" means to give up all your rights to your own life-
3-There is a difference in giving your sins to God (confession) and giving yourself to God (submission)-
4-Don't risk your life for things that mean nothing-
5-"Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness-"

Strange thought-If you can't add years to your life, add life to your years-

I've learned-The cross has gone from a symbol of shame to an expensive piece of jewelry-

5 things I want to know
1-How did David live from the time he was anointed king as a teen to when he became king at 30 years of age?
2-Did Joseph ever wonder where God was when he was falsely imprisoned in Egypt?
3-What plan could God have had for John the Baptist by having him live in the desert and living like a wild man?
4-After his conversion Saul went somewhere in Arabia--where was it and what did he do there?
5-What does it take for us to give up the idea that we have to be somebody?

Scripture for today Proverbs 24:10-16
10 If you give up when trouble comes, it shows that you are weak.
11 Save those who are being led to their death; rescue those who are about to be killed.
12 If you say "We don't know anything about this," God, who knows what's in your mind, will notice.
He is watching you, and he will know. He will reward each person for what he has done.
13 My child, eat honey because it is good. Honey from the honeycomb tastes sweet.
14 In the same way, wisdom is pleasing to you. If you find it, you will have hope for the future, and your wishes will come true.
15 Don't be wicked and attack a good family's house; don't rob the place where they live.
16 Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated, but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.

I wish you a day filled with love, laughter, forgiveness and thanksgiving-jasper
