Scripture Of The Day
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again John 3:7.Read The Bible In a Year

Be kind - Remember everyone you meet is fighting a battle - everybody's lonesome.He who is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
Those who have easy, cheerful attitudes tend to be happier than those with less pleasant temperaments, regardless of money, 'making it', or success.

Personal Story Of The Day
Don't Be A VWThe Porsche slowly accelerated at the green light, and never even got close to the speed limit. Of course, I was behind it, and couldn't understand why someone would spend $320,000 for a fast luxury car and drive it like it was a Volkswagen! Don't they know what they have under the boot lid? Did they buy that car just to look like they had a speed machine?
It seemed such a waste to me that people would invest so much in something they don't know how to use. Bingo! There's a picture of our lives today. As Christians, we have the presence and power of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us... power to love and forgive, power to heal, deliver, comfort, and overcome temptation; yet we live as spiritual Volkswagens.
Before His death and resurrection, Jesus told His disciples, "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father" (Jn 14:12). "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you..." (Acts 1:8). "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind (self-discipline)" (ITim 1:7).
Jokes Of The Day
Bob was very proud of his Texas heritage and lived there until he died. When he arrived in Heaven, St. Peter gave him the deluxe tour.Behind the first door was a beautiful tropical beach. Bob poked his head in to look, but quickly announced that Galveston had nicer beaches.
Behind the second door was the most mind-boggling amusement park ever imagined. But Bob said he was sure that Dallas had more impressive parks.
After a dozen more such responses, an annoyed St. Peter pulled him to the edge of a nearby cliff and shouted, "You see that enormous lake of fire? Have you got anything like that in Texas?"
"Well no," Bob replies sheepishly, "But I do know a guy in Houston who can put it out."

A certain lady invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say grace?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," the little girl replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother answered.
The little girl bowed her head and said: "Dear Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
************************************
Married life is full of excitement and frustration:
* In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.
* In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.
* In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen.
It is true that love is blind but marriage is definitely an eye-opener.
Getting married is very much like going to the restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other fellow has, you wish you had ordered that.
It's true that all men are born free and equal, but some of them get married!

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Getting Some Meaning Into LifeYet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Matthew 6:29. References from Matthew 6:19-34.
According to 1 Kings 10:14, King Solomon received 666 talents of gold annually, which calculates to about 23 metric tons (23,000 kg). At today's prices, that amounts to an income, just in gold, of about $4.74 billion a year. His throne was inlaid with ivory and outlaid with gold.
The interior of the temple he built was completely covered in pure gold. His palace was constructed out of fine cedar beams and a precision cut, high-grade stone foundation. He employed thousands of men for seven years to build the temple, and it took thirteen years to build his marvellous palace.
According to today's verse, however, God outdid him in seven days without spending a cent. In Ecclesiastes, we've studied verse after verse of conclusions that everything under the sun is meaningless and a waste of time; enjoy what God's given, because it won't last. Jesus goes one step further, essentially concluding that worrying about such things is a waste of time... the richest, most resourceful man in all the world can't compete with lilies or grass (v28-30)! So let's set our mind on higher things (v33).
Looking back to the beginning of today's passage, we see that Jesus gets at the heart of the issue with the question, 'Where is your treasure?' Earthly treasures fade away, but heavenly treasures never diminish (v19, 20). It's really a matter of having your heart in the right place (v21). The illustration of the eye as a lamp is an excellent test for determining where your heart is.
What do your eyes seek after? Do you tend to scan for a flashy new car or a bigger, nicer house that generates envy? Or are you constantly looking for new opportunities to serve God and deliver compassion? Those are telltale signs of who your master is, God or Money. Verse 24 says that you can't serve both.
Verse 25 is such a great complement to Ecclesiastes' repeated assertions to eat, drink, and be satisfied with life. Jesus says not to worry about those things... He takes care of the birds, and He'll take care of us (v26, 27)! In the end, Solomon and Jesus come to a similar conclusion... worrying doesn't help at all (v34).
Taking Detours...
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Matthew 7:13.
Imagine taking a journey to a place for the first time. You are on a trip to a place you've never been, and on a highway you have never travelled. All of a sudden, you come upon a detour sign. I've been there, and it's not a great feeling. You wonder if you'll ever find your way back to where you need to be going.
It's strange territory, and you don't have a road map. The GPS is continually telling you to take the way that is blocked. You just have to trust that the detour will be short, and easy to follow.
Perhaps you've taken detours in other areas of your life... friends, jobs, or finding the spouse God has for you. It is kind of like being lost. You know where you'd like to be, and feel you know where you are going, but not exactly how you will get there. But spiritually, GOD is the only way. He gives us every opportunity to come to Him, but there are side roads along the way. It is your choice to make... either follow Him, or take a detour.
Perhaps the detour will end up back on the right track, or you may get on the wrong path, and perhaps with the wrong people. We need to try and avoid any detour that will take us out of the protection of God, and away from the safety He has prepared for His children.
When things don't go our way, we don't need to avoid Him, but ask Him for guidance. It is much easier to trust in God, who knows everything, than to trust in our own abilities.
