Thursday August 20, 2009 thought for the day

THE NURSING HOME MASCOT

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY-

1-The safest place to stand in your storm is next to your heavenly father-

2-Faith is not an award given to the most learned, most disciplined or most religious-

3-Faith is a desperate dive out of a sinking boat of human effort and a prayer that God will be there to catch us-

4-The supreme force in our salvation is God's grace, not our works, talents, feelings or strength-

5-The most amazing response to God's gift of salvation is our reluctance to accept it-

STRANGE THOUGHT-No matter how far you push the envelope, it will still be stationery-

I'VE LEARNED-We often forget strengths and instead point out weakness-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How are spiritually blinded eyes opened to the gospel?

2-What does "being conformed to his death" mean?

3-Must humility play a part in accepting salvation?

4-Are spiritual pride and self righteousness similar?

5-Is it true "no prophet is accepted in his own country"?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 54

1 God, save me because of who you are, by your strength show that I am innocent.

2 Hear my prayer, God; listen to what I say.

3 Strangers turn against me, and cruel men want to kill me. They do not care about God.

4 See, God will help me; the Lord will support me.

5 Let my enemies be punished with their own evil. Destroy them because you are loyal to me.

6 I will sacrifice as a special gift to you. I will thank you, Lord, because you are good.

7 You have saved me from all my troubles, and I have seen my enemies defeated.

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