Wednesday July 15, 2009 thought for the day

FREEDOM

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Satan never tips his hand while tempting you-

2- When you are in the midst of panic, you don't make wise decisions-

3-God not only does the right thing, he does it at the right time-

4-When there is true repentance, there is a desire to make a complete break from sin-

5-Forsaking of sin follows a true confession of sin-

STRANGE THOUGHT-I wish the buck stopped here for I could use a few right now-

I'VE LEARNED-All the men and women in scripture had feet of clay!

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Does any religious group have the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

2-How is it possible the Bible can be interpreted in so many different ways?

3-Why wasn't Jesus' life, actions, and thoughts recorded while he was living?

4-How can God tolerate such wickedness and evil in people?

5-How can you have joy in the midst of grief and tragedy?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 39

1 I said, "I will be careful how I act and will not sin by what I say. I will be careful what I say around wicked people."

2 So I kept very quiet. I didn't even say anything good, but I became even more upset.

3 I became very angry inside, and as I thought about it, my anger burned. So I spoke:

4 "Lord, tell me when the end will come and how long I will live. Let me know how long I have.

5 You have given me only a short life;' my lifetime is like nothing to you. Everyone's life is only a breath.

6 People are like shadows moving about. All their work is for nothing; they collect things but don't know who will get them.

7 "So Lord, what hope do I have? You are my hope.

8 Save me from all my sins. Don't let wicked fools make fun of me.

9 I am quiet; I do not open my mouth, because you are the one who has done this.

10 Quit punishing me; your beating is about to kill me.

11 You correct and punish people for their sins; like a moth, you destroy what they love. Everyone's life is only a breath.

12 Lord, hear my prayer, and listen to my cry. Do not ignore my tears. I am like a visitor with you. Like my ancestors, I'm only here a short time.

13 Leave me alone so I can be happy before I leave and am no more."

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVNESS AND THAKSGIVING-JASPER
