Tuesday September 10, 2013 thought for the day

    HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Death is the passage way to a new adventure in existence-

2-This world does not exist just for pre grave happiness-

3-High volume doesn't equate with sound faith-

4-False prophets minimize the role of Jesus and maximize the role of humanity-

5-Courage is fear that has said it's prayers-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Why do dogs like to put their head out of the windows of a moving car?

 

I'VE LEARNED-The trouble with wanting more is that it never ends-

 

DID YOU KNOW-The smallest hummingbirds beat their wings the fastest-up to eighty times per second-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Was the elder son afraid that his inheritance from his father would now have to be split again with the returned brother?

2-The giving of an inheritance to sons usually is done at the death of the father.  So, wasn't the younger son leaving with his share of the inheritance really saying he was wishing his father was dead?

3-Was the elder brother trying to hurt his father by not attending his younger's brother's returning home party celebration?

4-Did the elder brother ever come to his senses and apologize for his self righteous attitude?

5-Did the elder brother ever reconcile with his returned brother?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who is identified with Nathaniel of Cana, mentioned in John 1:45?

Today's answer-Bartholomew

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 17:13-15

¹³ But the people in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God in Berea, too. So they came there, upsetting the people and making trouble. ¹⁴ The believers quickly sent Paul away to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea. ¹⁵ The people leading Paul went with him to Athens. Then they carried a message from Paul back to Silas and Timothy for them to come to him as soon as they could.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, we’re thankful for the rope-holders who bear our burdens and encourage us in times of weakness and difficulty.  You work through such human vessels to convey Your strength, comfort, protection, and challenge as we walk together in faith. Help us to be faithful in doing our part to encourage, pray, and offer support to those You lay on our hearts that we may be united and strengthened in our Christian journey.  Amen.
