Friday July 13, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Knowing without doing is like plowing without planting-

2-If you want your children improve, let them over hear the nice things you say about others-

3-Children spell love--time-

4-In raising children, spend half as much money and twice as much time-

5-What is done to children, they will do to society-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT

1-No matter how much you revisit the past, there is nothing new to see-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Pass kindness along to others-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Babe Ruth wore a cabbage leaf under his hat to keep his head cool.  He changed it every two innings-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Was Jesus not willing to put God to the test by following Satan's suggestion of making a pretentious fall?

2-Did Jesus not want God to show his power by rescuing him from a fall?

3-Why was Satan only allowed to test Jesus 3 times or could there have been more?

4-How was Jesus able to say no to satan's tests when he most likely was so physically weak?

5-Was there some truth in all of Satan's testing of Jesus?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Matthew 22:15-22

 

 Then the Pharisees left that place and made plans to trap Jesus in saying something wrong.¹⁶ They sent some of their own followers and some people from the group called Herodians.^[a] They said, "Teacher, we know that you are an honest man and that you teach the truth about God's way. You are not afraid of what other people think about you, because you pay no attention to who they are.¹⁷ So tell us what you think. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

 ¹⁸ But knowing that these leaders were trying to trick him, Jesus said, "You hypocrites! Why are you trying to trap me? ¹⁹ Show me a coin used for paying the tax." So the men showed him a coin.^[b] 20 Then Jesus asked,"Whose image and name are on the coin?"

 ²¹ The men answered, "Caesar's."

   Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and give to God the things that are God's."

 ²² When the men heard what Jesus said, they were amazed and left him and went away.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we offer up to You our lives as living sacrifices. May we be holy and pleasing to You. In whatever form of work we do may we do so with diligence as unto the Lord. We thank you for the variety of giftings and work skills You give us in regard to vocational work and how we are blessed and provided for.  We honor you as we have a proper view toward work. Amen.

SMILE, LAUGH, FORGIVE, BELIEVE AND LOVE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
