Wednesday March 4, 2015 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-God has no problems, only plans-

2-As Christians we trust Jesus to be the carrier, protector, and redeemer of our hearts and that death is no longer dying-

3-When we die we leave behind us all that we have and take with us all that we are-

4-There is no such thing as freedom without a price-

5-You can't keep hurting a person and expect them to keep loving you-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-Dad, you have always been like a father to me-

 

I'VE LEARNED-It is our choices that show who and what we are, not our abilities-

 

DID YOU KNOW-Before the turn of the century, newspapers were called tabloids, chronicles, gazettes, etc.  Most had local stories, and far away stories were were quite old because it took a while for stories to travel.  With the advent of the teletype, stories could be broadcast all over at unheard of speed.  Several of the papers started carrying a section with stories from all over-north, east, west and south--and that is why they are called newspapers-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-How is Jesus interceding on our behalf with his father?

2-How do you know if God is active in your life?

3-What is the greatest temptation for Godly men and women?

4-Why do we "serve God"?

5-Does the Bible tell us anywhere to do something we are not capable of doing?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-What Bible scholar published a translation of Paul's epistles called Letters to Young Churches?

Answer for today     J B Phillips

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY     Mark 9:30-32

³⁰ Then Jesus and his followers left that place and went through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know where he was, ³¹ because he was teaching his followers. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be handed over to people, and they will kill him. After three days, he will rise from the dead.” ³² But the followers did not understand what Jesus meant, and they were afraid to ask him.

 

 

PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 Father, shape my thinking into that which will bring about growth and conformity to Your will. Teach me to think not in accordance with my own human instincts or that of others, but in accordance with the truth as revealed in Your Word.  There is a growing majority of those with a secular platform whose hearts are hardened against godly teaching. They are darkened in their understanding to the point that they choose and condone sinful behavior. With the growing acceptance and visibility of every kind of impurity I ask You to help me stand firm to that which is taught in Scripture lest I be drawn by the tempter into this contest of depravity that spreads daily in this evil world. I am not discouraged but determined to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and invite others to join me on the straight and narrow way that leads to life eternal. It’s in His name that I pray. Amen.

 

LIVE SIMPLY! LOVE GENEROUSLY! CARE DEEPLY! SPEAK KINDLY! LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD!!
