Wednesday August 19, 2009 thought for the day-

ILLUSION

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Faith can often be the child of fear-

2-Great acts of faith are seldom born out of calm calculation-

3-At the beginning of every act of faith there is often a seed of fear-

4-Faith that begins with fear ends you up closer to the Lord-

5-Faith begins when you are in a valley and you see God on the mountain and you know you are too weak to make the climb-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Worse than raining cats and dogs is hailing taxi cabs-

I'VE LEARNED-When energy intended to be used outside is used inside, the result is an explosion-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why did God send Jesus to such a lowly position instead of one with status and prestige?

2-Why is the Gospel of Jesus so repugnant to many religious people?

3-Do Christians tend to have spiritual pride?

4-Would seeing a great "miracle" happen turn people to Jesus for salvation?

5-Is it possible to see the "unseen" spiritual world?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 53

1 Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." Fools are evil and do terrible things; none of them does anything good.

2 God looked down from heaven on all people to see if anyone was wise, if anyone was looking to God for help.

3 But all have turned away. Together, everyone has become evil; none of them does anything good. Not a single person.

4 Don't the wicked understand. They destroy my people as if they were eating bread. They do not ask God for help.

5 The wicked are filled with terror where there had been nothing to fear. God will scatter the bones of your enemies. You will defeat them, because God has rejected them.

6 I pray that victory will come to Israel from Mount Zion. May God bring them back. Then the people of Jacob will rejoice, and the people of Israel will be glad.

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