Tuesday March 29, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-What you have been does not have to determine what you will be-

2-No one can hit a target they cannot see-

3-Marriage doesn't change people, it reveals who they are-

4-The issue isn't who we are but who or what we followed to get there-

5-In addition to being first, God also wants to be central in your life-

STRANGE THOUGHT-A rock feels no pain and an island never cries-

I'VE LEARNED-Old age is when former classmates are so gray, wrinkled and bald they don't recognize you-

DID YOU KNOW-McDonald's in New Zealand serves apricot pies instead of cherry one-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Did Adam and Eve ever repent of their disobedience?

2-Will Adam and Eve be in heaven

3-At what age will we be in heaven?

4-Did the father ever tire of waiting for the prodigal son to return?

5-Does returning to the father bring condemnation?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What prophet, who posed much of his book in the form of questions and answers, concluded that "the just shall live by faith".

Yesterday's answer-Micah

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY HEBREWS 12:12-21

Be Careful How You Live

¹² You have become weak, so make yourselves strong again. ¹³ Keep on the right path, so the weak will not stumble but rather be strengthened.

¹⁴ Try to live in peace with all people, and try to live free from sin. Anyone whose life is not holy will never see the Lord.¹⁵ Be careful that no one fails to receive God's grace and begins to cause trouble among you. A person like that can ruin many of you.¹⁶ Be careful that no one takes part in sexual sin or is like Esau and never thinks about God. As the oldest son, Esau would have received everything from his father, but he sold all that for a single meal.¹⁷ You remember that after Esau did this, he wanted to get his father's blessing, but his father refused. Esau could find no way to change what he had done, even though he wanted the blessing so much that he cried.

¹⁸ You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire. You have not come to darkness, sadness, and storms.¹⁹ You have not come to the noise of a trumpet or to the sound of a voice like the one the people of Israel heard and begged not to hear another word. ²⁰ They did not want to hear the command: "If anything, even an animal, touches the mountain, it must be put to death with stones." ²¹ What they saw was so terrible that Moses said, "I am shaking with fear."

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