Friday May 4, 2012 thought for the day

 

 

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Knowledge of God can never replace relationship with him-

2-God is looking for availability not capability-

3-Christian love is not something we generate from within, rather it is God flowing through us to others-

4-We don't create Christian love, we simply dispense it as a gift-

5-Blameless does not imply perfect performance-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Wherever you go, there you are-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Three things in life you should never lose-hope-peace-honesty-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The Eiffel Tower has 2.5 million rivets, and its height varies as much as six inches, depending on the temperature-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-After Peter had denied Jesus three times, do you think he felt as though his relationship with Jesus was over?

2-Does perfect love cast out all human fear?

3-For fear of not being loved, why do so many search for love in all the wrong places?

4-If I try to do better, will God love me more?

5-Do we change to receive God's love or because we have God's love?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who carried the people of Jerusalem off to Babylon?

Yesterday's answer-Joseph, Mary and Jesus    Matthew 2:13-15

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Matthew 11:7-10

⁷ As John's followers were leaving, Jesus began talking to the people about John. Jesus said, "What did you go out into the desert to see? A reed^[a] blown by the wind? ⁸ What did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes live in kings' palaces.⁹ So why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, and I tell you, John is more than a prophet. ¹⁰ This was written about him:
    'I will send my messenger ahead of you,
       Who will prepare the way for you.' — Malachi 3:1

Footnotes:

1. Matthew 11:7 reed It means that John was not ordinary or weak like grass blown by the wind.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, Your Word declares that this world is not our home, we’re just passing through, on our way to heaven. Help us to keep this perspective daily as we set financial goals and the exchange of earthly goods. We get financially entangled and emotionally distraught over those transactions that tie our affections to this perishing world. Fix our hearts and minds upon that which satisfies the soul and stores our treasures in heaven.

 

I WISH YOU ENOUGH!
