Tuesday February 21, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-A perfect heart is one that holds nothing back from God-

2-God takes care of his own possessions-

3-Those who fail do so because they wait for things to happen and those who succeed do so because they make things happen-

4-Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers-

5-When the worst is thrown at you, the best of God is developed in you-

STRANGE THOUGHT-The minute you settle for less than you deserve you get even less than you settled for-

I'VE LEARNED-Most of life's choices are not between good and bad but between good and best-

DID YOU KNOW-The Titanic was running at twenty two knots when it hit the iceberg-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Do many Christians have a clear understanding of the theological terms of their Christian faith?

2-How do you explain that Jesus is God?

3-What is the nature of Jesus' divine status in relation to God?

4-Did Jesus make it clear who He, the Father and the Holy Spirit were?

5-What does "only begotten son" mean?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What woman has such an influential life that Israel had forty years of peace?

Yesterday's answer-Lydia Acts 16:14

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Galatians 3:6-10

⁶ The Scriptures say the same thing about Abraham: "Abraham believed God, and God accepted Abraham's faith, and that faith made him right with God."⁷ So you should know that the true children of Abraham are those who have faith.⁸ The Scriptures, telling what would happen in the future, said that God would make the non-Jewish people right through their faith. This Good News was told to Abraham beforehand, as the Scripture says: "All nations will be blessed through you."⁹ So all who believe as Abraham believed are blessed just as Abraham was.¹⁰ But those who depend on following the law to make them right are under a curse, because the Scriptures say, "Anyone will be cursed who does not always obey what is written in the Book of the Law."

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, I confess that Jesus is my Savior. And because I do so, I am confident that Jesus will acknowledge me in heaven as Your child. And as a child of God there are sacrifices You ask of me here on earth; most especially a surrendered will so that I follow You and obey You no matter the cost. I can’t do this in my own strength but You will help me. Circumstances will test me yet I will not be confounded. I am resolute in remaining faithful so that my faith will grow and my Christian walk will be strengthened. I will not be ashamed but rather glory in the cross of Christ.

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