HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-The difference between school and life is--in school you are taught a
lesson and then given a test. In life you are given a test that teaches you a
lesson-
2-Sometimes you have to cry out your tears to make room for a heart full of
smiles-
3-Your most useful asset is not a head full of knowledge but a heart full
of love, an ear ready to listen and a hand willing to help-
4-Be sure to taste your words before you spit them out-
5-Being loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply
gives you courage-
STRANGE THOUGHT-Why do we never hear father in law jokes?
I'VE LEARNED-If you have a bad day, don't worry. We all have a reset
button called- tomorrow-
DID YOU KNOW-Only 55 percent of Americans know the sun is a star-
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-If Jesus did enter hell for a period of time, as stated in the apostles
creed, did his presence there sanctify the place?
2-What would the inhabitants of hell's reaction have been to see Jesus
there?
3-Why was Solomon so easily attracted to foreign women and then to worship
their gods?
4-Why couldn't Solomon get his wives to worship his true God?
5-What is the meaning of life?
BIBLE TRIVIA-Who was commissioned by an angel to save Israel from the
Midianites?
Answer for today Gideon Judges 6:11-23
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY Romans 8:31
So
what should we say about this? If God is for us, no one can defeat
us.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
Father,
the conflict remains between our loyalty to You and our duties to the world. We
are to be in this world, but not of the world. On the eve of Jesus’ crucifixion
He asked You to sanctify the disciples by praying, “I
have given them Your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of
the world, just as I am not of the world…..And for their sake I consecrate
myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.” Like the Jews we too struggle paying our
taxes to our government knowing that so much is used irresponsibly and at times
immorally in opposition to principles taught in Scripture. But we are also
called to obey our authorities. We also recognize the benefits we enjoy
collectively and individually through the collection of our taxes so we ask for
grace as we deal with this matter every year. Keep us honest and fair so that we
maintain our integrity, for that matters to You. Just as the Jews were told to
pay taxes to the emperor whose coin bore His image, may we likewise give proper
honor and devotion to You whose image we bear in our hearts. Amen.
I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING!
