Wednesday February 22, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-When your back is to the wall put your knees on the floor-

2-Being nice is not always being loving-

3-Covetousness is the inordinate desire for the things of this world-

4-Ambition is the God given desire to be the best person you can be-

5-"Thou shall not covet" commandment deals with the internal workings of the heart-

STRANGE THOUGHT-Men socialize by insulting each other but don't really mean it, women socialize by complimenting each other and don't really mean it either-

I'VE LEARNED-Genuine friendship requires time, trust and vulnerability-

DID YOU KNOW-Two dogs were among the Titanic survivors-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Who were the "apostolic fathers"?

2-Does God want all your money or your willingness to give what he prompts you to give-

3-Is God concerned how much you give or how much you have left?

4-How do we know if we are living a "holy life"?

5-Did Jesus ever fail at anything?

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who was better to her widowed mother in law than any seven sons could be?

Yesterday's answer-Deborah Judges 5:31

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Galatians 3:11-14

¹¹ Now it is clear that no one can be made right with God by the law, because the Scriptures say, "Those who are right with God will live by faith." ¹² The law is not based on faith. It says, "A person who obeys these things will live because of them." ¹³ Christ took away the curse the law put on us. He changed places with us and put himself under that curse. It is written in the Scriptures, "Anyone whose body is displayed on a tree is cursed." ¹⁴ Christ did this so that God's blessing promised to Abraham might come through Jesus Christ to those who are not Jews. Jesus died so that by our believing we could receive the Spirit that God promised.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we want to continue to live in You; our faith being rooted and built up in You and strengthened through teaching from the Holy Scriptures and from following the example of godly believers. Help us to be faithful in our walk, in our talk, in our actions, and in expanding our spiritual knowledge so that we will walk in a manner that pleases You and honors Your holy name. Amen .

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