Hi there ....

Scripture Of The Day
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.Psalms 25:2
Read The Bible In a Year
Song of Solomon 1-3 ; Galatians 2Thoughts For The Day
The important thing is not to stop questioning." The minute a man is convinced that he is interesting, he isn`t. "
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Personal Story Of The Day
Success Requires SacrificesFew people have ever heard of Lilias Trotter, but it didn't have to be that way. A young art student in 19th-century England, Trotter had great talent as a painter. The well-known artist and professor John Ruskin recognized it, took her under his tutelage, and saw her ability blossom over a short time. In a letter he stated that she was "the best of my pupils." She was to become the next Ruskin painter of renown.
But it was not to be. For Trotter, life could not be confined to art. She became interested in social work and began ministering to prostitutes. In 1887 she heard a missionary speaker from Algeria and responded to God's call to take the gospel to Africa. She laboured in Algeria for 40 years in a faithful ministry, where she felt God gave her many opportunities to use her talent. She translated the New Testament into Algerian Arabic. She captured the country's beauty in the brilliant water colours that adorned her books and letters.
Whether spirit filled or not, I don't know... this is not something that is generally recorded within the early ministry works of the Protestants. Like today, many people don't understand the principles of scriptural salvation, even when spirit filled. Lilias Trotter left her chance for worldly fame as an artist and chose a life based on scriptural principles of servitude rather than fame and fortune.
Likewise Peter, Andrew, James, and John left their livelihood as fishermen (Matthew 4:18-22), God is calling all of us to a new kind of service. None of the disciples were spirit filled through the ministry age of Jesus, but their sacrifices set the scene for what would follow. For us who are spirit filled, it might also mean leaving something behind, but God will surely lead you to something far better.

God is waiting for people to stop taking advantage of the natural world for their self satisfaction... He is looking for people to make personal sacrifices that put him first, that also allows spiritual truths room to develop and prosper. Without sacrifices, you will never reach your potential... nor will you understand the full will of God in your life.
Jokes Of The Day
After the Church service, a pastor Steve told a woman, "I noticed your husband walked out in the middle of my sermon. I hope I didn't say something that offended him"."Not at all". Not at all", replied the wife: My husband has been waking up in his sleep for years

An inexperienced preacher was conducting his first funeral. He solemnly pointed to the body in the coffin and declared: "What we have here is only a shell. The nut is already gone."
************************************
A very dirty little fellow came in from playing in the yard and asked his mother, "Who am I? " Ready to play the game she said, "I don't know! Who are you?" "WOW!" cried the child. "Mrs. Johnson was right! She said I was so dirty, my own mother wouldn't recognize me!"

Riddle Of The Day
Tom is standing between Larry and Tony. Peter is standing on Tony's right. Between whom is Tony standing?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
The circumference of the globe is approximately 40 000 km. If we made a circle of wire around the globe, that is only 10 metres (so 0,01 km) longer than the circumference of earth, could a flea, a rabbit or even a man creep under it?
It is easy to subtract 2 equations (original perimeter = 2xPIxR, length of wire = 2xPIxR + 2xPIx(new R)) and find out that the result is 10m/(2xPI), which is about 1.6 m. So a smaller man can go under it and a bigger man ducks.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Overcoming Is Not AccidentalAnd again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. Mar 2:1.
A social worker told her colleagues about a young boy in a city slum who appeared to be little more than a bit of twisted human flesh. He had been struck by a car several months before and had not received proper medical attention. Although not part of her caseload, the social worker took the boy to an orthopaedist, who performed surgery on his legs.
Two years later the boy walked into her office without crutches. His recovery was complete. The two embraced. "If I accomplish nothing else in my life, "said the social worker to herself, "I have made a real difference with at least this one!" She paused, then said to her colleagues, "This was all several years ago now. Where do you think that boy is today?"
Some suggested that he might be a school teacher, others a physician or a social worker. With deep emotion, the woman responded, "No, he's in prison for one of the worst crimes a human can commit. I was instrumental in teaching him how to walk again, but there was no one to teach him where to walk."
We must point people to the saving gospel of Jesus Christ. Through Him, those with broken bodies, broken dreams, broken homes, and broken hearts receive wholeness of life... However, the next step is equally vital to the same people. They need to be taught that the indwelling spirit not only teaches us how to walk, but also in what direction we need to go.
This is our primary role above all others!!
Jacob's Troubles
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Jeremiah 30:7.
Society is filled with offers for relief. If you have a toothache, a dentist can take care of it. If you have money problems, you can get help from a financial planner. If you have a headache, most shops carry a variety of medications designed to relieve your pain. But some troubles are so great that only God can bring true deliverance. It was this latter kind of deliverance that Jeremiah foresaw in the future for Israel.
The Jewish people would go through many trials. In Jeremiah's day, the temple would be destroyed and the people would be taken to Babylon for a 70 year exile. Shortly after the time of Christ, Jerusalem was destroyed again (A.D. 70) and the Jews were scattered to the four corners of the earth.
In the 20th century, these much maligned people were decimated by the Nazi Holocaust. Jeremiah warned that a future time of trouble would distress Jacob, a symbol for Israel, much worse than anything they had experienced thus far. Yet the prophet concluded this fearsome prediction with a promise: "But he shall be saved out of it."
This is a promise that every Christian can trust as well. Even though the "time of Jacob's trouble" specifically refers to a prophetic time frame, we all face our own troubles. And sometimes these difficulties become more severe than we can handle. Perhaps cancer strikes, or a loved one dies, or we lose our job and can't find another. In the midst of these tribulations, God assures us we shall be saved out of them.
If you are going through a trial that seems more severe than any you've ever faced before, look to the power of God for relief. Take confidence in the promise that, at the right time, God will save you out of it. That's His word to you. Keep looking up. Your redemption is drawing near.
Facts Of The Day
- A turkey should never be carved until it has been out of the oven at least 30 minutes. This permits the inner cooking to subside and the internal meat juices to stop running. Once the meat sets, it's easier to carve clean, neat slices.
- In the Middle Ages, the belief that birds chose their mates on St. Valentine's Day led to the idea that boys and girls would do the same. Up through the early 1900's, the Ozark hill people in the U.S. thought that birds and rabbits started mating on February 14, a day for them which was not only Valentine's Day but Groundhog Day as well.
