Sunday July 19, 2015 thought for the day

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-Sometimes God's judgement teaches us more than God's blessings-

2-A mother can touch a whole generation just by loving her own child well-

3-Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see-

4-Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you, not because they are nice but because you are-

5-Today I bent the truth to be kind and I have no regret for I am surer of what is kind than I am of what is true-

 

STRANGE THOUGHT-England has no kidney bank but it does have a Liverpool-

 

I'VE LEARNED-Those who are consistent in their faith are the best models to follow-

 

DID YOU KNOW-You have to count to one thousand to use the letter A in the English language to spell a whole number-

 

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why did the forbidden fruit in Eden come from the Tree of Knowledge?

2-Christians can't agree on a perfect correct version of the Bible so how can we agree on what it says?

3-Why are there hundreds of translations and versions of the Bible?

4-What is the root meaning of the word Bible?

5-The Bible starts out as a Jewish document which wasn't called a testament.  Where did the word come from, what does it mean, and when was the word first used?

 

BIBLE TRIVIA-Who said "Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he followeth not us?"

 

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY    Luke 7:18-20

¹⁸ John’s followers told him about all these things. He called for two of his followers ¹⁹ and sent them to the Lord to ask, “Are you the One who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?”

²⁰ When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you with this question: ‘Are you the One who is to come, or should we wait for someone else?’”

PRAYER FOR THE DAY 

Heavenly Father, as I stand at the crossroads of decision where I am pulled in many directions, I direct my attention to the well-worn path marked out by faithful followers of God throughout the centuries – the faithful ones who remained true to Your ancient law whose hearts did not betray the One True God.  With godly determination I earnestly desire to follow in the steps of the Master that leads me to find rest for my soul on earth and secures a heavenly home where my soul no longer grows weary or disheartened. By Your grace I move forward in Jesus’ name. Amen.


I WISH YOU LOVE IN YOUR HEART.....PEACE IN YOUR SOUL.....AND JOY IN YOUR LIFE.....ALWAYS!!!
