Thought For Today

(Jesus continued)  “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth?  No, I tell you, but rather division; for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.  Luke 12:51 – 53

Lord this is not a very pretty picture You are painting.  These people are no different than we are today.  They were looking for a peaceful life just as we want a peaceful life today.  What are we to learn from these verses that could cause us unrest.  What are you asking these people to see.

Thank You Lord that even though there is strife there is peace within.

Thank You that You are showing us once again that things may not be peaceful on the outside but we can have peace on the inside.

Thank You for giving us the strength to stand for You even when we have to stand alone.

Thank You that we are not called to understand everything but we are called to take up our cross and follow You.

Thank You for Your strength and Your wisdom.

Thank You for the joy within when we do the right things that You ask us to do.

Thank You that we are loved unconditionally and it sure is a good thing Lord because we fail so often.

Thank You for picking us up and helping us.

Thank You Lord.
