Wednesday December 8, 2010 thought for today

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-God usually doesn't do the impossible until you have done the possible-

2-The more "light" you put on temptation, the quicker it will flee-

3-When we are tested we need to stand, when we are tempted we need to run-

4-God tests you to qualify you for something greater-

5-God will bring testing of your faith, but not temptation-

STRANGE THOUGHT-When I was born, I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year-

I'VE LEARNED-You are not a failure if you are enjoying life-

DID YOU KNOW-When your sink is full, the little hole that lets the water drain, instead of flowing over the side, is called a porcelator-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why don't we see miracles today as there was in Jesus' day?

2-Does calling God your friend demean him?

3-Are we to wait for God or to actively seek him?

4-Why did God create earth with such violent events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.?

5-What do we need to do to be what Jesus said we should be--servants?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What king of Babylon burned down the temple, palace, and city walls of Jerusalem?

Yesterday's answer-Hezekiah

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 22:1-13

Judas Becomes an Enemy of Jesus

¹ It was almost time for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover Feast.² The leading priests and teachers of the law were trying to find a way to kill Jesus, because they were afraid of the people.

³ Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' twelve apostles.⁴ Judas went to the leading priests and some of the soldiers who guarded the Temple and talked to them about a way to hand Jesus over to them.⁵ They were pleased and agreed to give Judas money.⁶ He agreed and watched for the best time to hand Jesus over to them when he was away from the crowd.

Jesus Eats the Passover Meal

⁷ The Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lambs had to be sacrificed. ⁸ Jesus said to Peter and John, "Go and prepare the Passover meal for us to eat."

⁹ They asked, "Where do you want us to prepare it?" ¹⁰ Jesus said to them, "After you go into the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters, ¹¹ and tell the owner of the house, 'The Teacher says: "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover meal with my followers?" ' ¹² Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Prepare the Passover meal there."

¹³ So Peter and John left and found everything as Jesus had said. And they prepared the Passover meal.

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