HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit but you
enjoy the smooth road afterwards-
2-You can't make someone love you, they must realize your worth-
3-The measure of love is when you love without measure-
4-It is better to lose your pride to the one you love than to lose the one
you love because of pride-
5-We spend way too much time looking for the right person to love and
finding fault with those we already love. Instead, we should be perfecting the
love we give-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do
practice?
I'VE LEARNED-Grace doesn't remove the consequences of our sin, it
eliminates the shame and guilt from our sin-
DID YOU KNOW-A forty two foot sperm whale has about seven tons of oil in
it-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Will all areas of heaven be made out of the same material?
2-Will all streets in heaven lead to the throne of God?
3-Is there more than one "tree of life" in heaven since Revelations states
"on each side of the river stands the tree of life"?
4-Is "paradise" a literal place other than heaven?
5-If the new heaven is to be located on the new earth, will it also circle
the sun as our present earth does?
BIBLE TRIVIA-At what church was Paul accused of turning the world upside
down?
Answer for today-Thessalonica Acts 17:6
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 23:4-6
4 The men standing near Paul said to him, “You cannot
insult God’s high priest like that!”
5 Paul
said, “Brothers, I did not know this man was the high priest. It is written in
the Scriptures, ‘You must not curse a leader of your people.’”[a]
6 Some of the men in the meeting were Sadducees, and others were Pharisees. Knowing this, Paul shouted to them, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, and my father was a Pharisee. I am on trial here because I believe that people will rise from the dead.”
Father, I thank You for deliverance from the dominion of darkness and
being transferred into the kingdom of Your Son where I find redemption, the
forgiveness for my sins. It is in Your holy Kingdom that my heart is
transformed from an earthly nature to that of a heavenly nature. As I walk in
newness of life I must deny myself of any sinful craving for that which was
familiar to my earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires
and greed. “I am resolved no longer to linger, charmed by the world’s desires.
Things that are higher, things that are nobler; these have allured my sight.”
Remind me of this lifelong resolve when I am tempted to give up that which
brings lasting joy for that which brings momentary pleasure. In the name of
Jesus I pray. Amen.
MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
