Friday October 5, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-"I find in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content"-

2-Few things are commonplace in themselves, it is our reaction to them that grows dull-

3-He who is thankful for little doesn't enjoy much-

4-Where there is no wonder there is no worship-

5-It is only the forgiving who are qualified to receive forgiveness-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-The more time you spend as a caregiver, the less time you will spend as the cared for-

 

I'VE LEARNED-I feared the truth until I saw the ugliness in lies-

 

DID YOU KNOW-A rainbow can only occur when the sun is forty degrees or less above the horizon-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What is worth more than your soul?

2-Is there a high price to pay for loyalty to Jesus?

3-What did Jesus mean by saying "If anyone chooses to follow me he must deny himself and take up his cross"?

4-Does Jesus expect us to suffer and die if that is what it takes to follow him?

5-Is everything possible to someone who believes?   

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who kept Paul in prison, hoping Paul would try to bribe him for release?

Yesterday's answer-Zacchaeus      Luke 19:1-10

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     John 2:6-11

 ⁶ In that place there were six stone water jars that the Jews used in their washing ceremony.^[a] Each jar held about twenty or thirty gallons.

 ⁷ Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water."So they filled the jars to the top.

 ⁸ Then he said to them, "Now take some out and give it to the master of the feast."

   So they took the water to the master. ⁹ When he tasted it, the water had become wine. He did not know where the wine came from, but the servants who had brought the water knew. The master of the wedding called the bridegroom¹⁰ and said to him, "People always serve the best wine first. Later, after the guests have been drinking awhile, they serve the cheaper wine. But you have saved the best wine till now."

 ¹¹ So in Cana of Galilee Jesus did his first miracle. There he showed his glory, and his followers believed in him.

Footnotes:

1. John 2:6 washing ceremony The Jewish people washed themselves in special ways before eating, before worshiping in the Temple, and at other special times.   

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light for our path. There is nothing You will ask of us that Your Word does not supply guidance, reassurance, and courage for us to follow. We thank You for the great examples of Biblical characters who model godliness for us. We thank You also for the rascals in Scripture who remind us of the negative consequences that follow those who walk in disobedience to Your manual. Help us to read it, follow it and share its truths with those whom You put in our path. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
