Sunday July 26, 2009 thought for the day

PEACE

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-God's power is best displayed when we are weak-

2-There is no such thing as outgrowing the lure of sin-

3-We are most vulnerable to falling immediately following a spiritual victory-

4-The real battle for the control of our lives occurs in the mind-

5-An unaccountable life is a dangerous life-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Less is often more-

I'VE LEARNED-The worst sin toward others is not to hate them but to be indifferent to them-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Would the stable birthplace of Jesus most likely have been in a cave?

2-Would Joseph most likely have been much older than Mary?

3-Were the gospels written to be history books or reference books?

4-Were Jesus' siblings, brothers and sisters or cousins?

5-Would Mary's parents have arranged a marriage with Joseph to Mary?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 42

1 As a deer thirsts for streams of water, so I thirst for you, God.

2 I thirst for the living God. When can I go to meet with him?

3 Day and night, my tears have been my food. People are always saying, "Where is your God?"

4 When I remember these things, I speak with a broken heart. I used to walk with the crowd and lead them to God's Temple with songs of praise.

5 Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I should put my hope in God and keep praising him, my savior and my God. I am very sad.

6 So I remember you where the Jordon River begins, near the peaks of Hermon and Mount Mizar.

7 Troubles have come again and again, sounding like waterfalls. Your waves are crashing all around me.

8 The Lord shows his true love every day. At night I have a song, and I pray to my living God.

9 I say to God, my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why am I sad and troubled by my enemies?"

10 My enemies insults make me feel as if my bones were broken. They are always saying, "Where is your God?"

11 Why am I so sad? Why am I so upset? I should put my hope in God and keep praising him, my Savior and my God.
