Friday October 18, 2013 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-Anyone will be discontented if they ignore their blessings and look at their burdens-

2-The future is as bright as your faith-

3-No failure ever needs to be final-

4-He who thinks himself the happiest person, really is so, but he who thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool-

5-There are great men who make other men feel small, but the really great man is the one who makes everyone feel great-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-If all is not lost, where is it-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Children spell words differently than adults.  For example the word "love" is spelled "time" by them-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Shrimp swim backwards-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-When Revelations says that the present earth and heavens will pass away, does it mean they will go out of existence?

2-Will the earth be destroyed or renewed?

3-Why can no one see God's face and still live?

4-What is the essence of heaven?

5-Will heaven be a continuous church service?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What brother of Jesus does Paul call an apostle?

Answer for today   James   Galatians 1:19

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   Acts 22:12-16

¹² “There a man named Ananias came to me. He was a religious man; he obeyed the law of Moses, and all the Jews who lived there respected him. ¹³ He stood by me and said, ‘Brother Saul, see again!’ Immediately I was able to see him. ¹⁴ He said, ‘The God of our ancestors chose you long ago to know his plan, to see the Righteous One, and to hear words from him. ¹⁵ You will be his witness to all people, telling them about what you have seen and heard. ¹⁶ Now, why wait any longer? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, trusting in him to save you.’

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, may our heart’s cry be the same as that of the Apostle Paul who declared, “For me to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Physical suffering and persecution for the sake of Christ will prove our faith to be genuine and will gain for us a crown of life. Suffering and persecution here on earth is temporal, but a crown of life is eternal!  Help us to live not just for the here and now, but set our affections on that which lasts forever so that we stay the course!  May our faith in You increase as we build treasures in heaven rather than chasing after fool’s gold here on earth. And may our resolve to stand firm intensify as we see the day of Your return approaching.   In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
