Thursday March 13, 2014 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR TODAY

1-God doesn't take you the way you are, he takes you inspite of the way you are-

2-Character is not only shaped by crises, it is revealed in crises-

3-Nothing life brings your way is beyond God's ability to use for his purpose-

4-We become obedient to God in our activities, but are called to a relationship with him-

5-The Bible is a record of God's activity among men to bring them into a right relationship with himself-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-English is a strange language-"How can your house burn up as it burns down?"

 

I'VE LEARNED-When a poor person dies of hunger, it has not happened because God did not take care of them.  It happened because you and I didn't give them what they needed.

 

DID YOU KNOW-There were about sixty million bison when the Europeans landed in America.  By the 1880s, all but five hundred bison were killed. Today there are about 350,000+ bison in America-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How could Lot have gotten so drunk that he didn't know what his daughters were doing and how could he have consummated the sex act?

2-At some point, wouldn't Lot have wanted to know how his daughters had become pregnant?

3-How old were Lot's daughters at the time of their pregnancy?

4-Were Lot's two daughters single or married at the time of their pregnancy?

5-After Lot fathered two grandsons by his two daughters, whatever happened in their life?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who asked God the question?-"What wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless?

Answer for today-     Abraham   Genesis 15:2

 

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY  Proverbs 2:1-6

1  My child, listen to what I say
    And remember what I command you.
² Listen carefully to wisdom;
    Set your mind on understanding.
³ Cry out for wisdom,
    And beg for understanding.
⁴ Search for it like silver,
    And hunt for it like hidden treasure.
⁵ Then you will understand respect for the Lord,
    And you will find that you know God.
⁶ Only the Lord gives wisdom;
    He gives knowledge and understanding.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY 

Father, as we interact with others today we want to release the aroma of Christ as the Holy Spirit works in and through us. It is our prayer that others will take in the spiritual fragrance of Christ, as His sweet presence is released through our endeavors. But help us to also accept the unpleasant truth that for those who are perishing we are the smell of death. We pray that they would be wooed by the Holy Spirit and train their senses to breathe in the aroma of life by seeking out truth as defined and modelled in Scripture, namely in the person of Jesus Christ our wonderful Savior. It’s in His name that we pray. Amen.

MAY YOU ALWAYS HAVE LOVE TO SHARE, HEALTH TO SPARE AND FRIENDS THAT CARE!
