Friday April 1, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Champions are those who are persistent-

2-Anyone who ever achieved anything had to have persistence-

3-Forgiveness flows to you so it can flow through you-

4-The entrance of light forces the exit of darkness-

5-Visualize where God wants you to be and then act as if you were already there-

STRANGE THOUGHT-How do you "draw a blank"?

I'VE LEARNED-You can keep going long after you think you can't-

DID YOU KNOW-In 1990, Bill Carson of Arlington, Tennessee, grew the largest watermelon at 262 pounds-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Was there anything different about the forbidden fruit other than God had forbidden Adam and Eve to eat it?

2-Is the reason that Adam and Eve weren't afraid of eating the forbidden fruit was that they didn't know what "die" meant?

3-Why were Adam and Eve inclined to believe the serpent and not God?

4-Is it possible that Adam and Eve had a friendship with the serpent prior to their fall and had come to trust it?

5-Was the serpent in the Garden of Eden Satan himself, or had Satan just indwelled the serpent?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What false prophet wore a yoke, which Jeremiah broke?

Yesterday's answer-Micaiah ben-Imlah

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY HEBREWS 13:7-16

⁷ Remember your leaders who taught God's message to you. Remember how they lived and died, and copy their faith. ⁸ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

⁹ Do not let all kinds of strange teachings lead you into the wrong way. Your hearts should be strengthened by God's grace, not by obeying rules about foods, which do not help those who obey them.

¹⁰ We have a sacrifice, but the priests who serve in the Holy Tent cannot eat from it.¹¹ The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place where he offers this blood for sins. But the bodies of the animals are burned outside the camp.¹² So Jesus also suffered outside the city to make his people holy with his own blood.¹³ So let us go to Jesus outside the camp, holding on as he did when we are abused.

¹⁴ Here on earth we do not have a city that lasts forever, but we are looking for the city that we will have in the future.¹⁵ So through Jesus let us always offer to God our sacrifice of praise, coming from lips that speak his name.¹⁶ Do not forget to do good to others, and share with them, because such sacrifices please God.

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