Friday December 7, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Success signals God's love no more than struggles indicate the lack of it-

2-To abide in Jesus' love is to make his love your home-

3-God's love cannot be legislated but it can be chosen-

4-You can't produce what you don't possess-

5-"If God be for us who can ever be against us"-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-No one ever says "it's only a game!" when their team is winning-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Stop playing serious and seriously play-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The Boeing 747 has been in commercial service since 1970-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Jesus told Peter to forgive another 70x7 times for offending him.  Are we to tolerate an offense that many times before putting a stop to it?

2-Did the Jewish leaders know Jesus had been born in Bethlehem?

3-Were there any Pharisees who were followers of Jesus?

4-Was "The Lord's Prayer" given as a sample or an example?

5-Was the purpose of "The Lord's Prayer" to memorize and recite or to learn a pattern that could be adopted and individualized?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who met the commander of the Lord's army?

Yesterday's answer-Phichol   Genesis 21:22

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   John 8:21-24

²¹ Again, Jesus said to the people, “I will leave you, and you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot come where I am going.”

²² So the Jews asked, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he said, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”

²³ Jesus said, “You people are from here below, but I am from above. You belong to this world, but I don’t belong to this world. ²⁴ So I told you that you would die in your sins. Yes, you will die in your sins if you don’t believe that I am he.”

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.

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