Tuesday November 29, 2011 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Don't become bitter, become better-

2-It is not our rightness but our righteousness that counts-

3-It is one thing to believe the gospel but another thing to behave the gospel-

4-We don't need to reform, we need to be transformed-

5-Believers are sanctified in a moment but it takes a life time to be holy-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Life is not like a roller coaster for a roller coaster is fun going down-

I'VE LEARNED-Perfection consists not in doing extraordinary things but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well-

DID YOU KNOW-The average pencil can draw a line thirty five miles long or write approximately fifty thousand English words-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-When Jesus prayed in Gethsemane was he truly afraid of what was coming the next day?

2-How did Jesus endure the terror and suffering of the crucifixion?

3-Was Jesus' agony of the crucifixion any worse than that of all the others who had been crucified?

4-Should we have the same attitude as Jesus did when we enter our own Gethsemane?

5-Did Judas ever come to believe that Jesus was the messiah?

BIBLE TRIVIA-According to Jesus, this person was not dead but only sleeping. Who was it?

Yesterday's answer-The Philippian jailor Acts 16:27

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 14:6-12

⁶ Brothers and sisters, will it help you if I come to you speaking in different languages? No! It will help you only if I bring you a new truth or some new knowledge, or prophecy, or teaching.⁷ It is the same as with lifeless things that make sounds—like a flute or a harp. If they do not make clear musical notes, you will not know what is being played.⁸ And in a war, if the trumpet does not give a clear sound, who will prepare for battle?⁹ It is the same with you. Unless you speak clearly with your tongue, no one can understand what you are saying. You will be talking into the air!¹⁰ It may be true that there are all kinds of sounds in the world, and none is without meaning. ¹¹ But unless I understand the meaning of what someone says to me, we will be like foreigners to each other. ¹² It is the same with you. Since you want spiritual gifts very much, seek most of all to have the gifts that help the church grow stronger.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, help us to prayerfully apply Your Scriptures so that we can learn to be content in any and every situation. A godly contentment will fill our hearts with peace in place of an anxious heart that keeps us in angst as we struggle to obtain the newest or latest gadget or comfort. Help us to fix our eyes on You, not others as we pursue holiness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

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