Saturday August 31, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Jesus will do what he has always done and be what he has always been-

2-There is Christianity and then there is churchianity-

3-We put God  in a time frame and when there is no answer to our prayers, we think he is uncaring-

4-For 15 years when God didn't communicate with Joseph, Joseph still believed in God--that took faith-

5-Giving is a confirmation of faith-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Is there really any difference in men's and women's razors?

 

I'VE LEARNED-If you believe you are not, you are-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Because of their size and thickness, Ostrich eggs take forty minutes to hard boil-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Does God always give second chances?

2-Is their any correlation to the story of Jonah and the giant sea creature and Jesus and the resurrection?

3-Why was there no "Book of Jesus" written to be a part of the new testament?

4-Angels appeared many times in scripture.  Is it still a way that God communicates with people today?

5-Was Joseph given any special gifts to be Jesus earthly father?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who is supposed to have been executed by being sawn in pieces?

Yesterday's answer-Levi

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 16:11-15

¹¹ We left Troas and sailed straight to the island of Samothrace. The next day we sailed to Neapolis.^{[a] 12} Then we went by land to Philippi, a Roman colony^[b] and the leading city in that part of Macedonia. We stayed there for several days.

¹³ On the Sabbath day we went outside the city gate to the river where we thought we would find a special place for prayer. Some women had gathered there, so we sat down and talked with them. ¹⁴ One of the listeners was a woman named Lydia from the city of Thyatira whose job was selling purple cloth. She worshiped God, and he opened her mind to pay attention to what Paul was saying. ¹⁵ She and all the people in her house were baptized. Then she invited us to her home, saying, “If you think I am truly a believer in the Lord, then come stay in my house.” And she persuaded us to stay with her.

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, we are thankful that You are present in the daily routine of our lives but also in the quiet, seemingly inactive periods when we are forced to slow down, think more, and do less. Your Spirit is at work in us as we invite You into the throne-rooms of our mind and into the recesses of our heart to shape us into Your likeness. You take negative circumstances and make them work for our good, when we acknowledge that “all things work together for good to those who love You and are called according to Your purpose.” We pray that You will achieve Your intended purpose in our lives as we fully submit our circumstances to Your divine plan.  In the name of Jesus we pray.  Amen


TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE.
TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND.
