HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-If we didn't need a savior, God wouldn't have sent one
2-Children may close their ears to advice but may open their eyes to
example-
3-If we teach our children that God is able to meet all of our needs, we
should also teach them to honor and respect him-
4-God wants to meet our needs, not our greeds-
5-"Some day" is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with
you-
STRANGE THOUGHT-How come "abbreviated" is such a long word?
I'VE LEARNED-It is very difficult to counterfeit humility-
DID YOU KNOW-The mudskipper fish can actually walk on land-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Does God ever waste pain?
2-Does death change the meaning of life?
3-After death, when is our first glimpse of Jesus?
4-How does God respond when we doubt him?
5-Why is it so easy to neglect the important things in life?
BIBLE TRIVIA-Who had a vision of a sheet filled with unclean animals?
Today's answer-Peter Acts 10:9-16
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY Acts 21:7-11
7 We
continued our trip from Tyre and arrived at Ptolemais, where we greeted the
believers and stayed with them for a day. 8 The next day we left
Ptolemais and went to the city of Caesarea. There we went into the home of
Philip the preacher, one of the seven helpers,[a]
and stayed with him. 9 He had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of
prophesying. 10 After we had been there for some time, a prophet named
Agabus arrived from Judea. 11 He came to us and borrowed
Paul’s belt and used it to tie his own hands and feet. He said, “The Holy Spirit
says, ‘This is how evil people in Jerusalem will tie up the man who wears this
belt. Then they will give him to the older leaders.’”
Father, we make it our goal to please You, and thereby take up the
command to overcome evil with good. If we don’t, we will be overcome by
evil and it will lead to our undoing. We will lose ground in our
Christian walk and our testimony of faith will weaken and likely
dissolve. Being struck by evil does not require us to respond to the
evil, but to Your continued guidance in our lives as You have a much
greater purpose in using the evil we’re dealt. Just as Jesus used evil
for good when He didn’t give up His mission though rejected by those He
came to save. “He became obedient to death, even death on a cross” so
that we might have forgiveness of sins and that You, Father, might be
glorified. Help us to always look for the ways in which we can glorify
You when faced with evil. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
