Monday April 22, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Under promise and over deliver-

2-The word "heart" in a spiritual sense means the source of all your motivations and passions.  It is what you love to do and what you care most about-

3-If you plant crab apple seeds, don't expect golden delicious apples-

4-Don't settle for the good life.  Aim for the better life, serving God in a way that expresses your heart-

5-"A person without self control is like a city with broken down walls"-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-If you had one day to live and one phone call to make, who would you call, what would you say and why are you waiting-

 

I'VE LEARNED-It's always easier to borrow than to pay back-

 

DID YOU KNOW-A group of owls is called a parliament-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-What were the "fiery trials" the Christians were having that Peter wrote about in 1 Peter?

2-Where did the word "Pope" come from?

3-Is anyone God's spokesperson on earth?

4-What does 1 Peter mean saying "Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven"?

5-Do Christians tell who they are by what they do and how they live?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What priest made the first piggy bank by placing a chest with a hole in it near the altar of the temple?

Yesterday's answer-Olive oil  Exodus 30:24

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 2:5-12

⁵ There were some religious Jews staying in Jerusalem who were from every country in the world. ⁶ When they heard this noise, a crowd came together. They were all surprised, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷ They were completely amazed at this. They said, “Look! Aren’t all these people that we hear speaking from Galilee? ⁸ Then how is it possible that we each hear them in our own languages? We are from different places:  But we hear them telling in our own languages about the great things God has done!” ¹² They were all amazed and confused, asking each other, “What does this mean?”

PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, to know You is to know the way to eternal life. Help us to hold fast to the directions we receive through Your Word. Thank You for sending Jesus who bridged the gap that stood between heaven and earth. And thank You that, because of Your mercy, we have entrance into heaven as we walk over Your bridge of mercy and forgiveness. Amen.

GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD
