THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY

1-It is not that God's old testament of sacrifices was meaningless, but without a loving heart oriented toward God, the offerings were hollow-

2-The Pharisees didn't believe they needed a savior since they always followed the law- 

3-When Jesus told the man by the pool of Bethesda to pick up his mat and walk, he had not broken the law but the Pharisees tradition-

4-Only through faith in Jesus are we justified.  That does not mean we actually become righteous but that we are declared righteous and sinless in God's sight through faith in Jesus as our Savior-

5-A beatitude is a pronouncement of blessing-

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

Joel 2:12-13   The Lord says, “Even now, come back to me with all your heart. Fast, cry, and be sad.” Tearing your clothes is not enough to show you are sad. Let your heart be broken. Come back to the Lord your God, because he is kind and shows mercy. He doesn't become angry quickly, and he has great love.
He can change his mind about doing harm.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY

 

Father, thank you for helping me see my sin and prompting me to repent-

 

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-
