Friday April 19, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Life is an echo, for what you send out comes back-

2-All of nature is a canvas painted by the hand of God-

3-One today is worth two tomorrows-

4-We will be known forever by the tracks we leave behind us-

5-Some things have to be believed to be seen-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Why do people buy double cheeseburgers, large fries and a diet coke?

 

I'VE LEARNED-Of all the things we must earn in life, God's unending affection is not one of them-

 

DID YOU KNOW-A group of goats is called a trip-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Should all Christians expect to suffer for being Christian?

2-Should Christians submit to everyone in authority over them?

3-Does God reward all suffering done by Christians?

4-Why is there some challenge to whether or not Peter was the author of 1st Peter?

5-What were the "keys to the kingdom of heaven" Jesus said he would give to Peter?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What was the penalty in Israel for disobeying a priest?

Yesterday's answer-Joseph    Genesis 41:45

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Acts 1:15-20

¹⁵ During this time there was a meeting of the believers (about one hundred twenty of them). Peter stood up and said, ^16-17 “Brothers and sisters, in the Scriptures the Holy Spirit said through David something that must happen involving Judas. He was one of our own group and served together with us. He led those who arrested Jesus.” ¹⁸ (Judas bought a field with the money he got for his evil act. But he fell to his death, his body burst open, and all his intestines poured out. ¹⁹ Everyone in Jerusalem learned about this so they named this place Akeldama. In their language Akeldama means “Field of Blood.”) ²⁰ “In the Book of Psalms,” Peter said, “this is written:

‘May his place be empty;
    Leave no one to live in it.’ Psalm 69:25

And it is also written:

‘Let another man replace him as leader.’ Psalm 109:8

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, we who have received Your grace, place our faith in You. We choose to walk uprightly with integrity and conviction. Our words and actions declare the pure, unadulterated counsel of Your Holy Word to other faithful leaders, trusting them to pass on that which has been entrusted to us. In doing so we are faithful stewards of that which You commanded of us through the great commission: “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every nation…”. We do this through Christ Jesus our Lord in whose name we pray. Amen.

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