Thursday May 30, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-A bad attitude is like a flat tire, if you don't change it you won't go anywhere-

2-Enjoy the little things.  One day you will look back and realize they were the big things-

3-In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles-

4-You have never really learned to live until you've done something for someone who can never repay you-

5-Hope-holding on, praying earnestly-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Something you will never hear your mother say-Don't bother wearing a jacket, the wind chill is bound to improve-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Cheap grace comes from misunderstanding the enormity of Jesus' sacrifice-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Reindeer have scent glands between their hind toes which help them leave scent trails for the herd-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How did Luke become a believer in Jesus?

2-Jesus told his followers to spread the good news about him and his teaching in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the ends of the earth.  Was this just the known civilization (Roman Empire)?

3-How did Luke, a gentile, get connected with Paul?

4-How do we know for sure that Luke wrote the books of Luke and Acts?

5-Besides being a physician, what other things do we know about Luke?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What priest led a reform movement in Judah, so that the people tore down their Baal temple and idols?

Yesterday's answer-  Micah  Judges 17:5

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 5:25-26

²⁵ Then someone came and told them, “Listen! The men you put in jail are standing in the Temple teaching the people.” ²⁶ Then the captain and his men went out and brought the apostles back. But the soldiers did not use force, because they were afraid the people would stone them to death.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

 Father, we thank You for the great deliverance and transfer that took place when we surrendered our hearts to You. You delivered us from the dominion of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of Your Son in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.  Now we walk in the light of Jesus and His kingdom which is filled with righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Help us never to lose perspective of the great rescue and the changes You brought into our lives, otherwise we may be swayed back to our old way of life and return to the darkness from which we escaped. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

 

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
