HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-You will never possess what you are unwilling to pursue-

2-People who can help you succeed don't always come to you, you must go to them-

3-Somebody needs you-

4-Think of your contribution to another as an assignment from God-

5-What would you do for God if you knew you wouldn't fail-

STRANGE THOUGHT-My computer beat me at chess but I beat it at kick boxing-

I'VE LEARNED-Friendship is the best of all ships-

DID YOU KNOW-Four hundred quarter pounders can be made out of one cow

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why didn't it rain before Noah built the Ark and why has it rained ever since?

2-What did God do to the atmosphere to make it start raining?

3-Does God still call us to do "crazy things" as he did Noah?

4-Was the Ark a type of Christ?-providing deliverance, salvation-

5-What does it mean "The Jews are God's chosen people"?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What man who traveled to Antioch with Paul, Silas, and Barnabas was considered a prophet?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY HEBREWS 11:32-40

³² Do I need to give more examples? I do not have time to tell you about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the prophets.³³ Through their faith they defeated kingdoms. They did what was right, received God's promises, and shut the mouths of lions.³⁴ They stopped great fires and were saved from being killed with swords. They were weak, and yet were made strong. They were powerful in battle and defeated other armies.³⁵ Women received their dead relatives raised back to life. Others were tortured and refused to accept their freedom so they could be raised from the dead to a better life.³⁶ Some were laughed at and beaten. Others were put in chains and thrown into prison. ³⁷ They were stoned to death, they were cut in half, and they were killed with swords. Some wore the skins of sheep and goats. They were poor, abused, and treated badly. ³⁸ The world was not good enough for them! They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and holes in the earth.

³⁹ All these people are known for their faith, but none of them received what God had promised.⁴⁰ God planned to give us something better so that they would be made perfect, but only together with us.

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!!!
