Saturday February 8, 2014 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-People can be cruel and break your heart but only you can keep them from hurting you-

2-Never take someone's feelings for granted for you never know how much courage it took for them to share their feelings with you-

3-Your present circumstances don't determine where you go, they merely determine where you start-

4-Brutally honest people enjoy the brutality as much as the honesty-

5-As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-A committee is a body of people that keeps minutes and wastes hours-

 

I'VE LEARNED-You will be happier if you give people a bit of your heart rather than a piece of your mind-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Because of its long stride, a giraffe is quicker than it appears, at full gallop, the animal can run about thirty miles per hour-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Could animals originally communicate with humans?

2-Are all things that God created good?

3-Prior to tempting Adam and Eve, was the serpent a good creature?

4-Did satan cause the serpent to lie to Adam and Eve or was it a part of his original nature to lie?

5-Had other animals talked to Eve prior to the serpent doing so?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who confessed his sin to an angel that only his donkey had seen?

Answer for today   Balaam    Numbers 22:34

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY   1 Corinthians 2:10-14

The Spirit searches out all things, even the deep secrets of God. ¹¹ Who knows the thoughts that another person has? Only a person’s spirit that lives within him knows his thoughts. It is the same with God. No one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but we received the Spirit that is from God so that we can know all that God has given us. ¹³ And we speak about these things, not with words taught us by human wisdom but with words taught us by the Spirit. And so we explain spiritual truths to spiritual people. ¹⁴ A person who does not have the Spirit does not accept the truths that come from the Spirit of God. That person thinks they are foolish and cannot understand them, because they can only be judged to be true by the Spirit.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, we confess that there are many teachings of the Bible that are difficult to understand and challenging to implement. Yet we honor Your inspired Holy Word and hold it up as the standard for our pilgrimage here below. As lawlessness and ungodliness continue to plague our world we recognize all the more that You are like a shield for all who seek Your protection. There are instances where we may be called to take a stand for righteousness that requires us to make hard decisions, even that of choosing our relationship with You over our comfortable standing with our family or friends. We love You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. May our choices reflect that proclamation as we are counted among those who endure to the very end. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.


TODAY WILL NEVER COME AGAIN. BE A BLESSING. BE A FRIEND. ENCOURAGE SOMEONE. TAKE TIME TO CARE. LET YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS HEAL AND NOT WOUND!
