HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-The secret to self esteem is to understand how much you matter to God for
if God loves you, who cares what anybody else thinks-
2-When our life is over, we won't be remembered by our words but by our
deeds-
3-It is not what you gather but what you scatter that tells what kind of
life you have lived-
4-Anger is caused by the way you see a situation-
5-An angry person is a hurting person-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Why can't life's biggest problems happen when we are
teenagers and know everything?
I'VE LEARNED-The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice listing-
DID YOU KNOW-The jackrabbit is not a rabbit, it is a hare-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Where is the "Kingdom of God" location?
2-Why did Jesus use children as an example of what it takes to be a citizen
of God's Kingdom?
3-Did Jesus get violent with the merchants and customers who were
conducting business in the temple?
4-Did Jesus show carnal anger or righteous anger toward the desecration of
the temple?
5-Is there any record of Jesus displaying anger in addition to the temple
confrontation?
BIBLE TRIVIA-According to the book of Hebrews, what Old Testament priest is
Jesus like?
Yesterday's answer-Jesus Hebrews 3:1
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 10:9-16
9 About noon the next day as they came near Joppa, Peter
was going up to the roof[a]
to pray. 10 He was hungry and wanted to eat, but while the food was
being prepared, he had a vision. 11 He saw heaven opened and
something coming down that looked like a big sheet being lowered to earth by its
four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of animals, reptiles, and birds.
13 Then a voice said to Peter, “Get up, Peter; kill and
eat.”
14 But Peter said, “No, Lord! I have never eaten food that
is unholy or unclean.”
15 But the voice said to him again, “God has made these things clean, so don’t call them ‘unholy’!” 16 This happened three times, and at once the sheet was taken back to heaven.
Father, there are many of Your
followers who stand for righteousness that also deal with rejection, mockery,
and ridicule from within their own family. As we take up Your cross we must be
willing to lose our life, for Jesus tells us that it is at that level of
commitmentl that we will actually find our lives. He also warned us that He did
not come to bring peace to the earth; families will divide choosing one loyalty
over another. Help us to patiently endure, remain steadfast in prayer for our
loved one, and regularly exptend our love that comes from You to those who need
it most. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
SMILE, LAUGH, FORGIVE, BELIEVE AND LOVE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

Footnotes:
- 10:9 roof In Bible times houses were built with flat roofs. The roof was used for drying things such as flax and fruit. And it was used as an extra room, as a place for worship, and as a cool place to sleep in the summer.
