Sunday September 6, 2009 thought for the day

AN INTERESTING TREE FORMATION

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Nature is God's first missionary-

2-No one has ever done one thing to enhance the finished work of the cross-

3-We are accepted into heaven on the basis of faith in Jesus alone but are rewarded in heaven on the basis of the fruits of our faith-

4-We are saved by God's grace and rewarded according to our deeds-

5-When we see how much God has forgiven us we understand how much he loves us-

STRANGE THOUGHT-I have an important message about growing old---now I forgot what I was going to tell you-

I'VE LEARNED-Make peace with your past so it won't mess up your present-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What does it mean to say to someone "God loves you"?

2-Are any of the false Gods of the old testament still worshipped today?

3-Does God ever change his mind or go back on his word?

4-In what way are we all God's children?

5-What does it mean God is not waiting for us to come to him but is seeking us?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALMS 68:1-13

1 Let God rise up and scatter his enemies; let those who hate him run away from him.

2 Blow them away as smoke is driven away by the wind. As wax melts before a fire, let the wicked be destroyed before God.

3 But those who do right should be glad and should rejoice before God; they should be happy and glad.

4 Sing to God; sing praises to his name. Prepare the way for him who rides through the desert, whose name is the Lord. Rejoice before him.

5 God is in his holy Temple. He is a father to orphans and he defends the widows.

6 God gives the lonely a home. He leads prisoners out with joy, but those who turn against God will live in a dry land.

7 God, you led your people out when you marched through the desert.

8 The ground shook and the sky poured down rain before God, the God of Mount Sinai, before God, the God of Israel.

9 God, you sent much rain; you refreshed your tired land.

10 Your people settled there. God, in your goodness you took care of the poor.

11 The Lord gave the command, and a great army told the news:

12 "Kings and their armies run away. In camp they divide the wealth taken in war.

13 Those who stayed by the campfires will share the riches taken in battle."

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