Tuesday February 21, 2017 thought for the day





 
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-If our goal is to become like Jesus, applying the beatitudes will challenge the way we live each day-
2-In the issue of faith vs deeds, Jesus said "Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your father in heaven"-
3-The beatitudes were a code of ethics for the disciples and a standard of conduct for all believers-
4-The beatitudes are not to be taken as multiple choice, they are to be taken as a whole.  They describe how we should live as followers of Jesus-
5-Each beatitude tells how to be blessed-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-What does the old testament mean by "ceremonial unclean"?
2-Does God ever not hear our prayers?
3-How did the Israelites receive forgiveness of sins through blood sacrifices without repentance?
4-Can we sanctify ourselves?
5-Why did God sometimes, but not always, demand violent death to those who disobeyed his commands?

SCRIPTURE FOR THE DAY
Ephesians 5:1-2  You are God’s children whom he loves, so try to be like him. Live a life of love just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice to God.
 
PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Father, I pray that my speech, attitude, and behavior will reflect your holy character and gracious love-
 
I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
