Friday February 24, 2017 thought for the day






 
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
1-The Pharisee's weakness was that they were content to obey God's laws outwardly without allowing God to change their hearts or attitudes-
2-God judges our hearts as well as our deeds, for it is in the heart that our real allegiance lies-
3-Jesus was saying that his listeners needed a different kind of righteousness altogether (love and obedience), not just a mere intense version of the Pharisee's         
   righteousness (legal compliance)-
4-We should be just as concerned about our attitudes that people don't see as about our actions that are seen by all-
5-We miss the intent of God's Word when we read his words for living without trying to understand why he made them-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT
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-
 
I'VE LEARNED
When you return to a place that remains unchanged, you find the ways in which you yourself have changed-
 
DID YOU KNOW
In the united States, there are more than 10,000 golf courses- (how many have you played)
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-How did Moses talk to the Israelites when there were several million of them?
2-Why is there a book of Deuteronomy when much of it seems to be a retelling of earlier books?
3-Does God only show love to those who are obedient?
4-Can God use sinners to accomplish his will?
5-Why were Mary and Joseph's dying never recorded in scripture?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA
What Old Testament book contains the prophecy of this event- Not breaking the bones of the crucified Jesus?
Answer for today   Psalms
 
SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY
Mark 10:43-45    "But it should not be that way among you. Whoever wants to become great among you must serve the rest of you like a servant. 44 Whoever wants to become the first among you must serve all of you like a slave. 45 In the same way, the Son of Man did not come to be served. He came to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many people.”
 
PRAYER FOR THE DAY

 
Father, help me to demonstrate your love through humble service.  May you touch someone today through my living for you-
 
I PRAY THAT GOD GIVES YOU STRENGTH IN YOUR STRUGGLE, PEACE IN YOUR PAIN, AND VICTORY IN YOUR VALLEY-
