Saturday January 2, 2010 thought for the day

CAN SPRING COME TOO SOON??

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Bible study is not an end in itself, it is a means to an end-

2-Think of God's word as God's voice-

3-God's assistance is not always immediate but it is always sure-

4-Gaining biblical knowledge has 2 inherent dangers-1)Danger of pride and 2)danger of narrow mindedness-

5 For a balanced Christian life, there must be discernment along with knowledge-

STRANGE THOUGHT-My best job was as a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't note worthy-

I'VE LEARNED-Love not time heals all wounds-

DID YOU KNOW-John Quincy Adams owned a pet alligator, which he kept in the East Room of the White House-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW-

1-Why would Jairus, a ruler of the synagogue, ask for Jesus to heal his daughter--was he a believer or was it a last desperate effort?

2-What gave the woman with an issue of blood the courage to try to secretly touch Jesus clothing?

3-The woman with an issue of blood would be ceremonially unclean, so how could she be a part of a crowd to see Jesus?

4-How would Jesus have dressed?

5-Technically, was Jesus a rabbi?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What king of Salem was also a priest of the Most High God?

Yesterday's answer-Elah 1 Kings 16:8-10)

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALM 118:15-21

15 Shouts of joy and victory come from the tents of those who do right: "The Lord has done powerful things."

16 The power of the Lord has won the victory; with his power the Lord has done mighty things.

17 I will not die, but live, and I will tell what the Lord has done.

18 The Lord has taught me a hard lesson, but he did not let me die.

19 Open for me the Temple gates. Then I will come in and thank the Lord.

20 This is the Lord's gate; only those who are good may enter through it.

21 Lord, I thank you for answering me. You have saved me.

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