Friday July 5, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Time-you can't own it, but you can use it-you can't keep it, but you can spend it-once you've lost it, you can never get it back-

2-Every accomplishment starts with a decision to try-

3-A successful person continues to look for work even after he has a job-

4-Remember, when you think you have exhausted all possibilities, you haven't-

5-Say what you mean, mean what you say and do not be mean when you say it-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Being positive is part of being a hero for if you are a hero you are smart enough to know all the reasons why you should be discouraged-

 

I'VE LEARNED-The heaviest thing to carry is a grudge-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The grizzly bear is capable of running as fast as the average horse-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Who was the Mark that wrote the book of Mark and what do we know about him?

2-In what order were the gospels written?

3-Why were the books of the Bible placed in the order they were?

4-Why did Jesus choose the twelve he did to be his disciples?

5-Did any of the men Jesus called to be a disciple know who Jesus was or have any first hand experience with him?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-According to John's gospel, what priest was the first to examine the arrested Jesus?

Yesterday's answer-Amaziah   Amos 7:17

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY    Acts 9:26-27

²⁶ When Saul went to Jerusalem, he tried to join the group of followers, but they were all afraid of him. They did not believe he was really a follower. ²⁷ But Barnabas accepted Saul and took him to the apostles. Barnabas explained to them that Saul had seen the Lord on the road and the Lord had spoken to Saul. Then he told them how boldly Saul had preached in the name of Jesus in Damascus.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

 

Father, just as an anchor is standard safety equipment for a boat to remain afloat against powerful tides of water, Jesus is the anchor for our soul, keeping us steadfast and hopeful when the strong tides of doubt, disappointment and fear seek to overtake us.  So many drift aimlessly day in and day out uncertain of their present and future standing while we, as believers, anchor fast to the Rock which cannot move, because it’s grounded firm and deep in our Savior’s love whose daily provision protects, encourages, and leads us to the heavenly shore where storms will one day be all past forevermore. Amen.

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