Thought For Today

[Brother Love]

When praying,
don't give God instructions *
just report for duty.

[Brother Love]

Knowing as famous 19th century preacher

Charles Spurgeon said;

The trouble with us is to bring our

expectations up to the high level of God 's

willingness to bestow.  

[Angel123]

The Lord is my light and my salvation,
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life,
Of whom shall I be afraid?
Psalm 27: 1-2
  Have a bless day.

[hosanna]

The ten commandments are not multiple choice

[Angel123]

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28
Wait on the Lord,
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
Wait, I say on the Lord.
Psalm 27:14
Have a Bless Day

[Brother Love]

"The world is conquered
by the Word, and by the
Word the church is
served and rebuilt."
- Martin Luther

[Brother Love]

How often we look upon God as our
last and feeblest resource!
We go to him because we have nowhere else to go.
And then we learn that the storms
of life have driven us,
not upon the rocks,
but into the desired haven.

George Macdonald

[Brother Love]

You have a choice.
You can spend your life being angry at what you did not get out of life or you can count your blessings for what you have.

Topic:  Taxes

Title:  10 Things That Cannot Be Taxed
 
A tax assessor came one day to a poor pastor to determine the amount of taxes the pastor would have to pay. The following conversation took place:
 
 "What property do you possess?" asked the assessor.
 
 "I am a very wealthy man," replied the minister.
 
 "List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed.
 
 The pastor said:
 
 "First, I have everlasting life, John 3:16
 
 Second, I have a mansion in heaven, John 14:2
 
 Third, I have peace that passes all understanding,  Philippians 4:7
 
 Fourth, I have joy unspeakable, 1 Peter 1:8
 
 Fifth, I have divine love which never fails, 1Corinthians 13:8
 
 Sixth, I have a faithful pious wife, Proverbs 31:10
 
 Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children, Exodus 20:12
 
 Eighth, I have true, loyal friends, Proverbs 18:24
 
 Ninth, I have songs in the night, Psalms 42:8
 
 Tenth, I have a crown of life, James 1:12
 
 The tax assessor closed his book, and said, "Truly you are a very rich man, but your property is not subject to taxation."
 
 I pray that all of us will have this kind of tax free "wealth."

[Brother Love]

Anything big enough to occupy our minds is big enough to hang a prayer on.


                                    By-- George MacDonald

[Joyfuldove222]

I have found that often when I pray, I pray that God will give me a solution, but God desires that I grow through the process to be more like Him.

[Willowbirch]

Self will come to life even in the slaying of self; but there is ever something deeper and stronger than it, which will emerge at last from the unknown abysses of the soul: will it be as a solemn gloom, burning with eyes? or a clear morning after the rain? or a smiling child, that finds itself nowhere, and everywhere?

[Brother Love]

God does not offer us a way out of the testings of life.
He offers us a way through, and that makes all the difference.

                             W. T. Purkiser

[Brother Love]

By placing our faith in Christ’s shed blood and nothing else, we can have eternal life.  Isn’t today a good day to place your faith in Christ?  There will never be a better time.  In fact, there is no guarantee of another day. Trust Christ today.
