Sunday August 23, 2009 thought for the day

DO YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM?

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-The source of evil is not God's power but man's freedom-

2-An all powerful God could not have created a world in which people had genuine freedom and yet there be no potentiality for sin-

3-Real love must involve a choice, but with the granting of that choice comes the possibility that people would instead choose to hate-

4-The worst tragedy in history brought about the most glorious event in history-

5-Character is formed through hardships, overcoming obstacles and enduring desperate difficulties-

STRANGE THOUGHT-If you aim at nothing, you are sure to hit it-

I'VE LEARNED-There is only so much sand in the hourglass-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What does "taking up our cross " mean and how is it done?

2-What are "spiritual eyes"?

3-As God's children, should we think highly or lowly of ourselves?

4-Is having a good self image taught or caught?

5-How high are Christians to think of themselves?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 56

1 God, be merciful to me because people are chasing me; the battle has pressed me all day long.

2 My enemies have chased me all day; there are many proud people fighting me.

3 When I am afraid I will trust you.

4 I praise God for his word. I trust God, so I am not afraid. What can human beings do to me?

5 All day long they twist my words; all their evil plans are against me.

6 They wait. They hide. They watch my steps, hoping to kill me.

7 God, do not let them escape; punish the foreign nations in your anger.

8 You have recorded my troubles. You have kept a list of my tears. Aren't they in your records?

9 On the day I call for help, my enemies will be defeated. I know that God is on my side.

10 I praise God for his word to me; I praise the Lord for his word.

11 I trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can people do to me?

12 God, I must keep my promises to you. I will give you my offerings to thank you,

13 because you have saved me from death. You have kept me from being defeated. So I will walk with God in light among the living.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
