HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
1-Great faith usually comes from great trials-
2-The land of promise to Abraham had become a land of famine-
3-If you are self directed, you will never get far on your journey of
faith-
4-Our greatest problem today is a lack of awe and respect for God-
5-You show respect for the Bible by reading it and following it's
instructions-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Toothache is the pain that drives you to extraction-
I'VE LEARNED-If your heart is full of God's love, you'll always have
something to give-
DID YOU KNOW-Skunks have more than smell to protect themselves. They can
withstand five times the snake venom that would kill a rabbit-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Was Noah's family the only one at the time of the great flood that God
considered righteous. Of all the other people in the world, was there no one
else that God approved of?
2-How did the Old Testament people earn the term "righteous"?
3-How many years after the creation of mankind did the great flood
come?
4-What was the Jewish leaders reaction to the temple curtain being torn in
two from the top to the bottom at Jesus death?
5-How could Jesus have withstood 39 whip lashes without bleeding to
death?
BIBLE TRIVIA-How did God first appear to Moses?
Answer for today In a burning bush that was not consumed Genesis
3:2
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY John 4:10-15
10 Jesus said, “If you only knew the free
gift of God and who it is that is asking you for water, you would have asked
him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 The woman said, “Sir, where will you get this living water? The well is very deep, and you have nothing to get water with. 12 Are you greater than Jacob, our father, who gave us this well and drank from it himself along with his sons and flocks?”
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give will never be thirsty. The water I give will become a spring of water gushing up inside that person, giving eternal life.”
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so I will never be thirsty again and will not have to come back here to get more water.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Jesus, we proclaim You to be the King of Kings and Lord
of lords. Help us to boldly declare this glorious message, not only in a
setting where we find receptive listeners, but also to a hostile world that is
building its perishable kingdom here on earth. May we be full of conviction and
infused with Your power as we courageously tell others “There is another King,
one called Jesus.” You’ve called us to be light in a world full of darkness.
You’ve also enjoined us to be peacemakers. Sometimes when we take a stand for
righteousness it does not bring peaceful resolution, but instead further
conflict arises. Then we go through a surge of emotions and doubts begin to
arise regarding our stand. Would You help us to be diligent in our study,
prayerful about our stand, and immersed in Your Holy Word. May we not stand in
our own strength or be led by aimless ambition. Lord, as we take a position
against the evil tide of our land help us to be unapologetic in our stand,
consistent in our Christian walk, and loving in our approach. May we, by example
and word, say to the fallen world that we serve not the god of this age, but we
serve a King who is ageless and eternal. In Your strength alone we stand.
Amen.
GREATLY BLESSED, HIGHLY FAVORED, IMPERFECT BUT FORGIVEN CHILD OF GOD!
