Saturday October 22, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-We often tell the truth in increments-

2-Secrecy often comes because of shame-

3-Don't tell me you love me unless you are willing to confront me-

4-If a bad man is unjust to you, forgive him before there becomes two bad men-

5-Jesus has a plan for the cross in your life-

STRANGE THOUGHT-We really are not owners of anything, merely caretakers-

I'VE LEARNED-The church doesn't have walls, it has hands and feet-

DID YOU KNOW-Neck ties were first worn in Croatia. That is why they were called cravats.

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Did Joseph ever come to believe that Jesus was the Messiah?

2-For lack of any good information, it appears that Joseph must have died sometime during the time Jesus was 12 and 30. If so, how and when did he die?

3-Would Joseph and Mary both have been buried in the same tomb even though they died years apart?

4-Did Joseph and Mary have a blended family?

5-If Joseph was a widower, could Mary have known his previous wife?

BIBLE TRIVIA-According to Paul, what language did the divine voice use on his trip to Damascus?

Yesterday's answer-The Lord's servant Isaiah 42:2

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

¹⁸ So run away from sexual sin. Every other sin people do is outside their bodies, but those who sin sexually sin against their own bodies.¹⁹ You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit who is in you. You have received the Holy Spirit from God. So you do not belong to yourselves,²⁰ because you were bought by God for a price. So honor God with your bodies.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we want our hearts to remain soft and pliable so that we do not lose our spiritual sensitivity to hear and obey Your voice. We think of those who once had softened hearts that became hardened over time. They no longer hear You or sense Your presence in their life. Their spiritual vision has darkened. Help us, Lord, once again on this day to taste and see that You are good. You are the Bread of Life that does not spoil. You satisfy our hunger and forever quench our thirst as we drink from Your springs of living water. The world only has temporary substitutes that can entrap and draw us away from Your eternal pleasures. We want to remain vigilant to Your Word and heed Your ways so there is no build up of sin in our lives that eventually hardens our heart toward You. In Your name, Jesus, we pray. Amen.

WISHING YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
