Wednesday December 1, 2010 thought for today

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Sometimes we have to simply trust and not just understand-

2-Could it be that God allowed your storm so you could bless someone else?

3-The things I don't give up to God I lose anyway-

4-Hope is the ability to hear the music of the future, and faith is the courage to dance to it today-

5-Unless you do something different, tomorrow you'll be right where you are today-

STRANGE THOUGHT-If you wait, all that happens is you get older-

I'VE LEARNED-Christ likeness is all about transforming your character, not your personality-

DID YOU KNOW-Killing a king is called regicide-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why is there no report of the wise men on their trip anywhere along the route?

2-Did the wise men ever make it safely back home?

3-How long in miles and time did it take the wise men to make their journey?

4-Would the wise men have traveled with a large entourage of people?

5-When did Mary know that Jesus would die such a horrible death of beating and crucifixion?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What king of Israel tricked the worshipers of Baal by gathering them together in a temple and slaughtering all of them?

Yesterday's answer-The king of Nineveh

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 20:9-19

A Story About God's Son

⁹ Then Jesus told the people this story: "A man planted a vineyard and leased it to some farmers. Then he went away for a long time. ¹⁰ When it was time for the grapes to be picked, he sent a servant to the farmers to get some of the grapes. But they beat the servant and sent him away empty-handed.¹¹ Then he sent another servant. They beat this servant also, and showed no respect for him, and sent him away empty-handed.¹² So the man sent a third servant. The farmers wounded him and threw him out.¹³ The owner of the vineyard said, 'What will I do now? I will send my son whom I love. Maybe they will respect him.'¹⁴ But when the farmers saw the son, they said to each other, 'This son will inherit the vineyard. If we kill him, it will be ours.' ¹⁵ So the farmers threw the son out of the vineyard and killed him.

"What will the owner of this vineyard do to them? ¹⁶ He will come and kill those farmers and will give the vineyard to other farmers."

When the people heard this story, they said, "Let this never happen!"

¹⁷ But Jesus looked at them and said, "Then what does this verse mean:
'The stone that the builders rejected
Became the cornerstone'? — Psalm 118:22
¹⁸ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken, and the person on whom it falls, that person will be crushed!"

¹⁹ The teachers of the law and the leading priests wanted to arrest Jesus at once, because they knew the story was about them. But they were afraid of what the people would do.

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