April 30

Greetings;God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
One look at a sunrise should cause us to exclaim ,"I love you, Jesus"
One note of birdsong  should prompt us to sing out,"I love you Lord."
(Bread From My Oven)

SCRIPTURE:
We love because he first loved us. 1 John 4: 19

And His Creation speaks of His love and the fact He gave us someone to live for,
and to love also speaks of His love for us!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It's easy to fall into the trap of complicating our lives. We think
if we don't follow this leader's four-step process or that speaker's
six-step plan, we'll miss God's will. God never intended our lives
to be so complex. If we simply obey Him, His plan will unfold.
(The Pocket Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:
As the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen
ones will enjoy the works of my hands. Isaiah 65:22

We humans, complicate everything. The more we invent, the more
complicated life gets!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The world is ever wicked. It must have been difficult for Enoch to walk
with God while most of his generation was running after Satan. Times
have not changed. (Roger Chapman-Power for Today)

SCRIPTURE:
Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
Genesis 5:24

I was always fascinated by this story and the story of  Elijah being taken to heaven
in a whirlwind. They are the only two that I know of that never tasted death. We may
not escape physical death, but we can escape spiritual death by walking with God.

Greetings: God bless you this Lord's Day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Think of every day with loved ones and friends as an opportunity
to add to your memory bank. Be extravagant in your deposits. You
will be blessed for the rest of your life.
(Mildred Counts-Power for Today)

SCRIPTURE:
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing. Proverbs 10:7

The memory of Mildred is certainly a blessing. She lived what she preached
and she made every day count. I didn't think I know of anyone that was more
hospitable or generous than Mildred was.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When you exercise patience in trying circumstances, people notice.
(The Pocket Devotional)

SCRIPTURE:
The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better
than pride. Do not be quickly provoked in spirit, for anger resides in
the lap of fools. Ecclesiastes 7:8-9

The  above Scripture is so true... every time I have impatiently let
anger rule... I've made a fool of myself!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Compassion offers whatever is necessary to heal the hurts of others.
(Our Daily Bread)

SCRIPTURE:
Jesus asked, "Where have you laid him?" (Lazarus) "Come and see
Lord," they replied. Jesus wept. John 11 34-35

Sometimes when  one has lost a loved one, the only thing you can do and
the best thing you can do is weep with them!

Greetings: God bless you this day!

THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When we can't find our way in the dark, we feel uncomfortable.
We second guess ourselves about things that we already know to
be true. That's what darkness does-it shrouds mankind in uncertainty
and doubt, and leaves us stumbling through life.
(Kerry Williams-Power for Today)

SCRIPTURE:
I am the light of the world. John 8:12

When we lose our way, we need only look up... He's always there, like a
compass and a lamp!
