HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-Intuition is reason in a hurry
2-Don't replace what God has put in place-
3-Among my most prized possessions are words I have never spoken-
4-It is better to sleep on things beforehand than to lye awake about them
afterwards-
5-A smile is a whisper of a laugh-
STRANGE THOUGHT-The joy of motherhood is what a woman experiences when all
the children are finally in bed-
I'VE LEARNED-Everything is fair to someone-
DID YOU KNOW-Rome has more homeless cats per square mile than any other
city in the world-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Did the Samaritans have their own "Holy Book" as did the Jews and what
was it?
2-Jesus spent a lot of time with "sinners". Should we do so also?
3-Why was Luke the only gospel writer to write about the prodigal
son?
4-If the Jews were not supposed to eat pork, why did they still raise
them?
5-What is the "Gospel of Outcasts"?
BIBLE TRIVIA-What priest gave David the ritual bread when David fled from
Saul?
Yesterday's answer-Zechariah
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 9:10-16
10 There was a follower of Jesus in Damascus named Ananias.
The Lord spoke to Ananias in a vision, “Ananias!”
Ananias answered, “Here I am, Lord.”
11 The Lord said to him, “Get up and go to Straight Street. Find the house of Judas,[a] and ask for a man named Saul from the city of Tarsus. He is there now, praying. 12 Saul has seen a vision in which a man named Ananias comes to him and lays his hands on him. Then he is able to see again.”
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and the terrible things he did to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 Now he has come here to Damascus, and the leading priests have given him the power to arrest everyone who worships you.”
15 But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! I have chosen Saul for an important work. He must tell about me to those who are not Jews, to kings, and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”
Father, may words of
encouragement, comfort, instruction, and exhortation flow from our lips so that
we may spur others on in the faith, most especially our own children. We pray
that You would help Christian fathers everywhere to verbalize their faith and
live in a way that honors You and shows others where their source of strength
lies. Help them to be the spiritual leaders of their homes so that a harvest of
righteousness and peace will be upon their households. We pray this in Jesus’
name. Amen.
I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
