Friday July 25, 2014 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-Problems never come to last, they come to pass-

2-The time is always right to do the right thing-

3-The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing-

4-A gift given begrudgingly is not a gift-

5-Deciding what not to do is just as important as deciding what to do-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-You are not too small to be effective, just awake a mosquito in a dark room-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Most of the time there is no relationship between sickness and personal sin-

 

DID YOU KNOW-All US presidents have worn glasses; some of them just didn't like to be seen wearing them in public-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-If Paul had siblings, would they and their families have become believers and supported his Christian work?

2-Did any of Jesus' disciples have children?

3-Who was the boy that told the commander that there was a band of 40 Jews who plotted to kill Paul?

4-Why didn't Jesus choose any of his siblings to be a disciple?

5-Is it better to be a person of significance or a person of renown?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY     1 Timothy 1:14

¹⁴ But the grace of our Lord was fully given to me, and with that grace came the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, thank You for the many Scriptures that reassure us we’re never alone, such as the oft quoted comfort Psalm, “Thou art with me”.  It’s when we look solely to other people to cure our loneliness that we neglect the greatest cure which is looking to You and finding guidance and solace in Scripture and in prayer! Help us to hide deeply in our hearts the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, “Surely I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20). His promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us enables us to endure even in the loneliest of circumstances. We are encouraged and strengthened by Your promises and by the presence of Your Holy Spirit which keeps us from being alone for all time. Amen.

 

 

 

SMILE, LAUGH, FORGIVE, BELIEVE AND LOVE, OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
