Monday August 20, 2018 thought for the day



 
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
 
1-It is not happiness that makes us grateful but gratefulness that makes us happy-
2-Don't try to argue with satan for you'll lose every tine-
3-For the christian, the goal is not to see how close you can get to temptation without giving in, but rather how far away from it you can stay-
4-When temptation calls you, don't try to argue, just drop the receiver and go do something else-
5-When God gives us an idea, it is inspirational.  When satan gives us an idea , it is a temptation-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT
Law of gravity-any tool, nut, bolt, screw when dropped will roll to the lease accessible corner-
 
I'VE LEARNED
A daughter may outgrow your lap, but she will never outgrow your heart-
 
DID YOU KNOW
 The giant African snail grows to a foot long and reaches weights greater than a pound-
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Did the religious leaders dismiss Jesus out of hand or had they studied their books and scrolls and rejected him?
2-Why was Matthew so quick to respond to Jesus' call to be  disciple?
3-Had Matthew known Jesus prior to his calling to be a disciple?
4-Is it possible that Matthew was the nobleman who came to Jesus in Cana begging Jesus to heal his son?
5-Why was Matthew's name changed from Levi.  Did he change it himself or did Jesus give him a new name?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA
What bird does Jeremiah compare to a man who gains riches by unjust means?
Answer for today          a partridge that hatches eggs it does not lay        Jeremiah 17:11
 
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
PSALM 33:18,22 
  18 But the Lord looks after those who fear him,
    Those who put their hope in his love.
22 Lord, show your love to us
    As we put our hope in you.
 
 
PRAYER FOR TODAY
 

 
Father, do not allow what I am hoping for to become what I am hoping in-
 
MAY YOU HAVE ENOUGH HAPPINESS TO MAKE YOU SWEET, ENOUGH TRIALS TO MAKE YOU STRONG, ENOUGH SORROW TO KEEP YOU HUMAN AND ENOUGH HOPE TO MAKE YOU HAPPY-
