Wednesday December 19, 2018 thought for the day







 
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
1-God cannot condone or excuse even the smallest sin-
2-As God makes us aware of sin, we must be intolerant toward it and be willing to change-
3-If God treated us with justice alone and not with mercy, we would be be wiped out by God's wrath-
4-The tongue can be our greatest enemy.  Though small it can do great damage-
5-God's work is not done until we care for the needs of the poor-
 
STRANGE THOUGHT
What is the biggest advantage of going back to school as a retiree?  If you cut classes, no one calls your parents-
 
 I'VE LEARNED
 Sin is really a deception-
 
DID YOU KNOW
Oprah Winfrey's first name should have been the biblical name Orpah, from the  book of Ruth, except the midwife made a mistake in spelling it when she filled out the birth certificate-
 
5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW
1-Were the disciples away from their families while following Jesus, the crucifixion and resurrection weekend, the 40 days till his ascension, and waiting the 50 days till Pentecost?
2-Was the Holy Spirit given at Pentecost?  The Bible mentions the Holy Spirit several times before this event?
3-Would Jesus have been one to have hugged his disciples?
4-Would Jesus mother Mary have waited with the disciples for the 50 days?
5-Would those waiting the 50 days have gone home at night to eat and sleep?
 
BIBLE TRIVIA
What kind of flowers were supposed to be carved into the sacred lamp stands?
Answer for today         Almond blossoms         Exodus 25:33
 
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY
Matthew 22:37-40    Jesus said, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.’ This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: ‘Love others as well as you love yourself.’ These two commands are pegs; everything in God’s Law and the Prophets hangs from them.”

PRAYER FOR TODAY
 
Father, I commit my entire being, my lifetime, my thoughts, and my understanding to you from this moment on-
 
LIVE SIMPLY, LOVE GENEROUSLY, CARE DEEPLY, SPEAK KINDLY, LEAVE THE REST WITH GOD
