Wednesday November 14, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-An impressive outward appearance hides nothing from God and he see through the pretense-

2-Jesus condemns those who long for prestige and for those who disregard the poor-

3-Jesus wasn't put on a cross, he willing went there-

4-There are moments where what we say and do are amplified and they influence not only ourselves but others as well-

5-It is not what people do to us that matters but what we do in response to their actions-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end-

 

I'VE LEARNED-What others think of you is none of your business-

 

DID YOU KNOW-One of the first light bulbs was a thread of sheep's wool coated with carbon-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Do we ever bring to Jesus more than our little loaves and fishes?

2-Does being a Christian make you a good person?

3-Can you be a follower of Jesus without having learned obedience to your parents?

4-Can a non Christian be a "good" person?

5-What makes someone a "good" person?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who was sleeping between two soldiers when he was miraculously delivered?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY       John 6:22-24

²² The next day the people who had stayed on the other side of the lake knew that Jesus had not gone in the boat with his followers but that they had left without him. And they knew that only one boat had been there. ²³ But then some boats came from Tiberias and landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. ²⁴ When the people saw that Jesus and his followers were not there now, they got into boats and went to Capernaum to find Jesus.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we are grateful for the men and women who are willing to lay down their lives to protect our freedoms here in the United States. We are indebted to them for their daily sacrifice and we pray for their safekeeping, including godly chaplains who serve as spiritual leaders among them. We also consider our many spiritual warriors who have taken on added responsibility and assumed difficult duties leading us, as believers, to victory in this war against sin and strife, as we march in the army of the Lord. Bless these who have poured themselves into our lives and set for us an example to follow; in their conversation, their lifestyle, their faith, their doctrine and in their purity. We honor and bless the previous generation who passed onto us the Living Water and Bread of Life. We now extend the same message to our present generation, for with our mouths we make known Your faithfulness to all generations. Amen.

 

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
