Tuesday December 13, 2011, thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-The way I think is the way I do-

2-God asks us to be faithful, not successful-

3-Sins can be forgiven but the scars cannot be erased-

4 It is better to make mistakes of kindness than to work miracles in unkindness-

5-My customers do not supply me with my living, my God does-

STRANGE THOUGHT-The person who knows everything has a lot to learn-

I'VE LEARNED-Refuse to be average, let your heart soar as high as it will go-

DID YOU KNOW-A good quality Persian rug, which contains one million knots in every three square inches, can last as long as five hundred years-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What was hardest for Job, the loss of his children or the silence of God?

2-Should we ever blame God for something that happens to us?

3-In Job it says "There was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord"-Who were they?

4-Shall we accept grace from God and not accept adversity?

5-Why when bad things happen do they often seem to happen to the wrong person?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What Jewish man served as an honored official under Ahasuertus of Persia?

Yesterday's answer-Ethiopia Acts 8:27

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY 1 Corinthians 15:50-58

⁵⁰ I tell you this, brothers and sisters: Flesh and blood cannot have a part in the kingdom of God. Something that will ruin cannot have a part in something that never ruins.⁵¹ But look! I tell you this secret: We will not all sleep in death, but we will all be changed.⁵² It will take only a second—as quickly as an eye blinks—when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet will sound, and those who have died will be raised to live forever, and we will all be changed.⁵³ This body that can be destroyed must clothe itself with something that can never be destroyed. And this body that dies must clothe itself with something that can never die. ⁵⁴ So this body that can be destroyed will clothe itself with that which can never be destroyed, and this body that dies will clothe itself with that which can never die. When this happens, this Scripture will be made true:
"Death is destroyed forever in victory." — Isaiah 25:8
⁵⁵ "Death, where is your victory?
Death, where is your pain?" — Hosea 13:14
⁵⁶ Death's power to hurt is sin, and the power of sin is the law. ⁵⁷ But we thank God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁵⁸ So my dear brothers and sisters, stand strong. Do not let anything move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your work in the Lord is never wasted.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, Your Word is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. The radiant light of Your Scripture goes before us dispelling the darkness of the enemy. It is living and active; therefore, it is always relevant, right up to date, and a foundation for our soul. Help us not to turn to the right nor to the left, but to keep our eyes fixed on Your Holy Word and our hearts tuned to the Holy Spirit so that we will be faithful to the very end of this life as we know it. We greatly desire to hear Your words of commendation on the other side, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” Amen.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!!!
