Saturday July 21, 2012 thought for the day



HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-A prayer isn't worth praying unless it is backed by a fervent desire to see it realized-
2-The person on top of the mountain didn't just fall there-
3-Trusting God is an act of worship-
4-Your character is essentially the sum total of your habits-
5-Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT-A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have-
 
I'VE LEARNED-When I have pains, I don't need to be one-
 
DID YOU KNOW-Basketball was invented by Canadian James Naismith in 1891-
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-It seems that healing people was a major part of Jesus' ministry. Why isn't it today?
2-Which was more important, Jesus' teaching or his miracles?
3-How do you demonstrate faith?
4-When the paralyzed man was brought to Jesus for healing, why did Jesus say to him "your sins are forgiven"?
5-Who forgives our sin, God the father or Jesus the son?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA-What did Ehud use to kill fat king Eglon of Moab?
Yesterday's answer-David    1 Samuel 17:40
 
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY  Matthew 23:23-24
23 "How terrible for you, teachers of the law and Pharisees! You are hypocrites! You give to God one-tenth of everything you earn—even your mint, dill, and cumin.[a] But you don't obey the really important teachings of the law—justice, mercy, and being loyal. These are the things you should do, as well as those other things. 24 You guide the people, but you are blind! You are like a person who picks a fly out of a drink and then swallows a camel!
 
PRAYER FOR TODAY

Jesus! I do now receive You, more than all in You I find.
You have granted me forgiveness, I am Yours and you are mine!
(Adapted from hymn “Jesus What A friend Of Sinners”)

TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND.
