Tuesday December 4, 2012 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-There is no such thing as a crossless gospel-

2-Worry changes nothing except the worrier-it makes them sick-

3-Worry doesn't manage your problems, rather your problems are managing you-

4-Rather than taking away tomorrows trouble, worry voids today's strength-

5-The solution to worrying is praying with thankfulness and gratitude-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-No one has more driving ambition than the teen who wants to buy a car-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Do less correcting and more connecting-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The condensed water vapor left by jets in the sky is called a contrail-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Do some removals of evil spirits take more than prayer and faith?

2-Is anything impossible even if we have faith and believe?

3-What happened with and in the families and friends of the people Jesus healed?

4-Did Jesus ever heal a close family member?

5-Did Jesus heal anyone before he started his ministry at the age of 30?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    John 7:45-53

⁴⁵ The Temple guards went back to the leading priests and the Pharisees, who asked, “Why didn’t you bring Jesus?”

⁴⁶ The guards answered, “The words he says are greater than the words of any other person who has ever spoken!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees answered, “So Jesus has fooled you also!⁴⁸ Have any of the leaders or the Pharisees believed in him? No! ⁴⁹ But these people, who know nothing about the law, are under God’s curse.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus, who had gone to see Jesus before, was in that group.^[a] He said, ⁵¹ “Our law does not judge a person without hearing him and knowing what he has done.”

⁵² They answered, “Are you from Galilee, too? Study the Scriptures, and you will learn that no prophet comes from Galilee.”

⁵³ And everyone left and went home.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we are surrounded by Your awesome works and the endless display of Your divine handiwork. The entire universe is in perfect order which is a testimony to Your greatness and continued watchful eye over all of Your creation. The silent heavens speak as they declare Your majesty and glory. They also testify to Your righteousness and faithfulness as the Lord who created them and gave them a purpose for existence.  May we, as Your human creation, also proclaim Your righteousness and faithfulness day after day. May our lives display the work of the Holy Spirit as we continue to grow in faith until the day of Christ’s return. Amen.

 

 

 

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
