Saw this post on twitter and thought it was worth sharing. Have a good and Godly day! ~~~ I have always thought that Noah was safe inside the Ark because he built it according to God's specifications. I thought that perhaps it was the strength of the gopher wood and the soundness of the architecture that ensured that the waters of the flood would not come into the Ark. But today I encountered a verse that shifted this whole paradigm. Let's read what Gen 7:16 says ... "The animals going in were male and female of every living thing as God had commanded Noah... THEN GOD SHUT HIM IN.... " Don't miss this.... even after Noah had built the Ark, it was God Himself who shut him in, in order to shut out the waters of the flood... In other translations this verse says "The LORD sealed them inside." It is not the fact that you have locked your house that keeps you safe at night, it is not your good driving skills that keeps you safe on the road, neither it's your healthy eating habits that keeps you healthy - only God can shut you in and shut out the devil that is seeking to devour you. You can do absolutely nothing without God. #ThursdayThoughts

Believers, take a moment to pray for our nation today. Pray for President Trump's salvation and safety, pray for the abolition of abortion, and the protection of our next generation. #ThursdayThoughts

Matthew 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the LORD had bidden him, and took unto him his wife... Joseph obeyed God. He had doubts about Mary but he trusted God, so when the angel assured him of what was happening, he had no more reservations. He moved forward with the marriage. Joseph's faith translated into obedience. #ThursdayThoughts

1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. There's more to salvation than just lip service. We must obey the LORD and allow our salvation to be evident in our every day lives. #ThursdayThoughts

Jude 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Believers, we must stand against the false doctrines that are being disseminated in churches today. We must cry out against the false teachers who are teaching another Gospel. The Bible says that we must mark and avoid them. #ThursdayThoughts

Pray for President Trump's salvation and safety. #ThursdayThoughts

Pray for our President today. He has a lot working against him. #ThursdayThoughts

Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men so they may see your good works, and glorify your Father, which is in heaven. No matter what they do today, let the light of Christ shine through you. Show love to the unlovable. Be patient with those who test your patience. Witness to those who are lost. #ThursdayThoughts

Thank God for the freedom to worship Him without persecution. #ThursdayThoughts

We have so much for which to be thankful. #ThursdayThoughts

If you have not done so, confess your sin to Jesus today (Rom.10:9-14). If you come to Him in sincerity, He will not turn you away (John 6:37). He gave His life for you (John 3:16) because He doesn't want to see you in hell for eternity (2 Peter 3:9). #ThursdayThoughts

There is no such thing as a "safe abortion". In every successful abortion, somebody dies, and somebody else is scarred for life. #ThursdayThoughts

Present scandal aside, "Christians" need to stop watching all of the false teachers/networks on tv that beg for your money, promising miracles they cannot provide, while doing all kinds of sinful things behind the scenes WITH YOUR MONEY. #ThursdayThoughts

Abortion is deadly to the child and traumatic to the mother. There is nothing good about it and there is never a "need" for it. It's an excuse to satisfy humanity's bloodthirstiness. #ThursdayThoughts

We are one day closer to the return of the LORD Jesus Christ. #ThursdayThoughts

The right to be born is the most basic of civil rights. #ThursdayThoughts

Today is a good day to surrender to the LORD Jesus Christ if you have not done so already. #ThursdayThoughts

The only hope for the world is to surrender to the LORD Jesus Christ. #ThursdayThoughts

Today is a good day to surrender to the LORD Jesus Christ if you have not done so already. #ThursdayThoughts #JesusIsComing

We are either friends of God or enemies of God. There is no middle ground. #ThursdayThoughts
