Personal Story Of The Day
A Heart Of IronA Scottish athlete in the 19th century made an iron discus based on a description he read in a book. What he didn't know was that the discus used in official competition was made of wood with only an outer rim of iron. His was solid metal and weighed three or four times as much as those being used by other discus throwers. According to author John Eldredge, the man marked out the record distance in a field near his home and trained day and night to match it.
For years he laboured until he could break the record. Then he took his iron discus to England for his first competition. When he arrived at the games, he was handed the official discus. He easily set a new record, a distance far beyond those of his competitors. He remained the uncontested champion for many years. This man trained under a heavy burden and became better for it.
When we suffer a heavy burden to bear, we need to learn to bear it with the power of the Holy Spirit and for Christ's sake. Whatever the burden or suffering, God will use it to perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle us, as 1 Peter 5:10 says.' Our burdens can make us better than we ever imagined... stronger, more patient, more courageous, more gentle, and more loving than we could otherwise be'.
The main point being made here is that walking in the Lord is the basic weight to bear, but serving others in a regular and affective manner gives us the extra strength to do the heavier work of the Lord.
Jokes Of The Day
Since old Mr. Willoughby was allergic to cold medicines, his doctor advised him to drink a large glass of carrot juice after a long bath.A week later when Mr. Willoughby returned, his doctor asked him how he had done. "Not too good," the old man replied. "After I drank the hot bath, I didn't have room for the carrot juice."

A man goes to the doctor. "Doc," he says pointing to different parts of his body, "when I touch my arm it hurts. When I touch my neck it hurts. And when I touch my stomach it hurts. Do I have some rare disease?"
"No," the doctor replied, "you have a broken finger."
************************************
Just as a surgeon was finishing up an operation and was about to close, the patient awakes, sits up, and demands to know what is going on. "I'm about to close," the surgeon says.
The patient grabs the surgeon's hand and says, "I'm not going to let you do that! I'll close my own incision!"
The doctor hands him the thread and says, "Suture self."

Riddle Of The Day
What is it the more you take, the more you leave behind?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
Be you ever so quick, with vision keen, by your eyes, we are never seen. Unless perchance it should come to pass, you see our reflection in a looking glass. What are we?
Your own eyes.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Lord Stands Firm.
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28. References from Job 40:1-14.
We all know how easy it is to be critical. Whether we are in work situations or personal relationships, we are all pretty good at finding faults in others! Seeing the problem is usually the easy part... but when it comes right down to it, it's often hard to come up with positive suggestions to improve things.
In today's verses, we find the Lord taking Job to task for his harsh criticism of His ability to administer justice. In essence, the Lord says to Job, 'If you're going to be so critical, then show Me that you could do a better job!' Remember from yesterday's study that Job finally got his demand for a personal encounter with the Lord. But rather than Job questioning the Lord, the Lord cross-examined Job!
This first series of questions ends with a stern rebuke: If you want to accuse the Almighty, then you'd better be prepared to answer Him (v2)! And what answer does Job have?
Not the one that he thought he'd have. Instead, Job is speechless. He begins to realise his own unworthiness as well as his limitations in understanding God. You'd think that the Lord's next response to Job might be a little harsh. Instead, He repeats the exact same exhortation that He uttered before the first cross examination: 'Let him who accuses God answer him'. (v7; cf. 38:3).
The Lord continues to press Job because He knows that until the root of Job's pride is addressed, Job won't be able to enjoy the deep communion with God that he so longs for. To have Job simply stop speaking doesn't get to this root issue. In fact, it's possible that Job would just quietly smoulder if the Lord didn't push hard.
Sitting Still.
Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day. Ruth 3:18.
Modern Western culture is built around the oft quoted phrase, "Don't just stand there, do something!" As a result, our lives are filled with busyness. We rush from meeting to meeting. We chauffeur our children from soccer practice to tennis lessons to shopping at the local centre. We pull into the nearest fast-food drive through, place a quick order, and then we're off again.
It's no wonder we can identify with Blaise Pascal, who said, "All the troubles of life come upon us because we refuse to sit quietly." Naomi knew better. Her advice... 'sit still, stay quiet'... was filled with the wisdom of experience.
Ruth had come to Naomi and told her all that took place at the threshing floor. It was obvious to Naomi that God was at work. How things were going to turn out, however, she didn't know. But she did know that this was not the time to rush here and there to find the answer. Instead, it was the time to sit quietly and listen intently for the Lord's response.
At the right time, God would bring everything to pass. When much is at stake, do you have difficulty sitting still? If you will remember to wait patiently, you will see a number of positive things happen.
In stillness you'll discover God in new and deeper ways (Ps 46:10). You'll also be able to hear God when He speaks to you in a still, small voice (1 Kings 19:12). Furthermore, you'll have the wisdom and strength to act when the time is right (Isa 30:15). Sit still and let God work in your life. Trust Him to accomplish what is best for you in His own timing. Listen quietly and you will learn His answer.
