HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-Time and again throughout his life, God tested Abraham's resolve to obey
him, and time and again God reconfirmed his promise to Abraham--a land, a nation
and a promise-
2-Faith grows not in the absence of struggles but in the midst of it-
3-Obedience is the key to God's blessing-
4-Though Joseph had every reason to be bitter, there is no indication in
scripture that he ever allowed himself to hate those who mistreated him-
5-Friendship knows no bravery like the bravery of a brutal, truthful
confrontation-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected
expected-
I'VE LEARNED-As a child of God, prayer is like calling home every
day-
DID YOU KNOW-The horned owl is not horned. Two tufts of feathers were
mistaken for horns-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Is there a place for successful, competitive business people in God's
plan for his people?
2-Should a Christian pursue excellence in all they do?
3-How would Isaac consider his near death experience at the hands of his
father?
4-Why did Esau's mother have such a dislike for him and favor his brother
Jacob?
5-Why didn't Jacob release his father's blessing back to the rightful owner
Esau?
BIBLE TRIVIA-Who, according to tradition, preached in Phrygia?
Yesterday's answer-Peter
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 15:1-2
Then some people came to Antioch from Judea and began
teaching the non-Jewish believers: “You cannot be saved if you are not
circumcised as Moses taught us.” 2 Paul and Barnabas were
against this teaching and argued with them about it. So the church decided to
send Paul, Barnabas, and some others to Jerusalem where they could talk more
about this with the apostles and elders.
PRAYER FOR
TODAY
Father, there are many choices I will make today based
upon the variables that I cannot foresee. But above all I must deny my own
selfish desires, take up my cross daily, and follow Christ. In denying myself I
will be careful never to deny Christ nor the work He wants to do in me. I don’t
know what my cross will look like today, whether it be in the form of physical
pain, ridicule of my faith, rejection from one that I love, a major letdown, or
another difficulty that may arise. The wonderful blessing is that I don’t carry
my cross in my own strength but You carry it for me as I lean upon You for
strength, guidance, endurance and the assurance that today’s cross will soon be
exchanged for tomorrow’s crown. Until then I remain faithful through Christ
Jesus our Lord in whose name I pray. Amen.
LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH
GOD!!
