Happiness is not in our circumstances but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are.If you really want something, you can figure out how to make it happen.
Beware of the man who won't be bothered with details.

Personal Story Of The Day
A Few Ponderings
How has God's word impacted your life?
Do you turn to it in time of trouble for encouragement?
Do you turn to it when you need direction?
Has it become your source of truth?
Is it down the line in your priority list of things to do?
God’s word contains the things we need to make our life fulfilling.
Let us commit to turning to its pages for our lives.
Thanking God for what he has done may produce more blessing than the original request.
Remember if you commit a sin and take pleasure in it, the pleasure passes but the sin remains. But if you do something virtuous even though you are tired, the tiredness passes but the virtue remains. That is why repentance is such a powerful force in our lives.
Jokes Of The Day
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of religious service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, 'Stop -Acts 2:38!' (..'turn from your sin'...).The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, 'Why did you just stand there? All she did was yell a scripture to you.' 'Scripture?' replied the burglar, 'She said she had an AXE and two 38's!'

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
True Justice
Hurry Up And Wait!
But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. Psalms 13:5.
I'm a person that likes to be on time and never late. There have been times when I've rushed against the clock, only to get some place and have to wait. I guess the Doctor's office is the worst place you have to wait. They give a half dozen people the 'same appointment', thinking they won't show up. Then, when they all do, half of them have to wait from thirty minutes to an hour. Then, when they take you back to the little examining room, you spend more waiting on the Doctor, who is running behind.
Then, there is the waiting line at the supermarket. You are buying your groceries, and there seems to be nobody in line at the cash registers. Then, like magic, when you get ready to go into the line, seems everyone else had the same notion! And, that's the time that only half of the cash registers are open.
There is one place, though, that you never have to 'hurry up to wait'. Salvation is actually waiting on you! God sent His Son to earth, that we might be free through the indwelling power of His Mercy and Grace. The moment you act on your faith, God is right there to take you into His fold or manage your problem. Unlike the doctors' offices and the supermarket, you never have to wait with God! His mercy and blessing will come to those that place their trust in Him.
...do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. Jeremiah 22:3. References from Deuteronomy 19:1-21.
The Jewish philosopher Philo once wrote, Holiness toward God and justice toward men usually go together. We see this reflected in the Law of Moses. God's Law was not merely concerned about law and order... its aim was to move Israelite society in the direction of justice. One proof of this is seen in the rules laid down for the establishment of cities of refuge.
Once God's people had settled in the land, they were to establish cities in a central location and build roads to them so that people would have easy access. Anyone guilty of unintentionally killing another person and who took refuge there was guaranteed protection from the avenger of blood until the elders of the city judged his case.
The avenger of blood was the one charged with responsibility for executing the death penalty on those guilty of murder. The text doesn't say how this person was appointed. It is likely that he was a family member of the victim who was given the responsibility of seeing that justice was done.
If the accused was found guilty by the elders of the city, he was given to the avenger of blood. If found innocent, he remained there, serving a virtual life sentence until the death of the High Priest. This law balanced the community's responsibility to avenge innocent blood with its obligation to protect the rights of the accused.
In addition, the Law of God required the validity of all accusations to be corroborated by the testimony of two or more witnesses. Anyone who gave false testimony was liable to the same punishment that would have been executed on the one who had been accused.
This principle is echoed in the New Testament directives dealing with the exercise of church discipline. Those who have been sinned against by another believer are first to go privately and appeal to the offender. If rejected, they are to take two or more witnesses and appeal again. Finally, if rejected again, church discipline should be carried out (Matt 18:15-17). Any accusation made against a church leader must first be established by two or more witnesses before the church takes action upon it.
God's holiness is reflected in His passion for justice. His justice is tempered with mercy. Both come together in the work of Jesus Christ. God did not lower the demands of the Law in Christ. Instead, He met them by sending His Son to suffer the death penalty that our sins deserve. As a result, Jesus has become a source of mercy for all those who walk in His Spirit.
