Personal Story Of The Day
The Power In Us
[I pray that you may know] what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Ephesians 1:19-20
Just as God desires for us to be aware of our inheritance in heaven, so too, does He want us to appreciate the availability of His power in us today. Our inheritance, which will be fully distributed in heaven, contains a great deal that is available to us already. God's glory, which we will experience in full when Jesus returns, is also present among us today.

God's glory, which we will experience in full when Jesus returns, is also present among us today.
Through God's Spirit the same power that raised Jesus from the dead also works in us today. His resurrection power is enormous. Nothing could resist the Spirit of God. No weapon was strong enough to stand against it. No stone was massive enough to hold it back. No death was powerful enough to restrain Jesus.
The same power that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in us. This life, this power, is much stronger and more awesome than we can understand. Too often we focus on our weaknesses, for we are weak in ourselves. We are imperfect, yet the Perfect One, the Mighty One, lives in us. He enables us to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20).
As believers we need to identify with God's power in us instead of focusing on the weakness of our flesh. He who lives in us is greater, stronger and wiser than he who lives in the world. His life and His power flow through us. The power of the Spirit is not distant. We do not need to search everywhere for it. It is in us, powerful and active... the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Riddle Of The Day
What is the only 6-letter word in the English language that gives you 12 when you take away 1?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
We are little airy Creatures, All of diff'rent Voice and Features, One of us in Glass is set, One of us you'll find in Jet, T'other you may see in Tin, And the fourth a Box within, If the fifth you shou'd pursue, It can never fly from you. --Jonathan Swift (1667-1745)

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Every promise In The Bible Is MineEvery political campaign seems to be the same. Promises and platitudes pollute the air. (Maybe that's what is depleting the earth's ozone layer!) Each candidate tries to out-promise the other. And after every election, the results are predictably the same. Some promises are quickly broken because the candidate never intended to fulfil them. Other promises, while well-intentioned, were beyond the candidate's power and ability to fulfil.
Maybe an unforeseen string of events or new information changed the politician's mind about the wisdom of his original statement. Powerful special interest groups may exert pressure, making sure that they get what was promised, while less influential people seem to get lost in the crowd.
God, though, is not like a politician, a corporate executive, a supervisor, a teacher, a student, an employee, a coach, a player, a father, a mother, or a child. Everybody, not just the politician has a problem with keeping promises, quite often beyond their control. We all can have difficulty following through on our word. God, however, does not. He has all the power and wisdom in the universe at His disposal.

He will never have to make an excuse for failing to do what He has promised, and we have no excuse for not believing Him.
Getting Your Head In The Right Place
Karl Menninger, the famous psychiatrist, once gave a lecture on medical health and answered questions from the audience. Someone asked, 'What would you advise a person to do if that person felt a nervous breakdown coming on?' Most people thought he would say Go see a psychiatrist immediately, but he didn't. To their astonishment, Dr. Menninger replied,' Lock up your house, go across the railroad tracks, find somebody in need, and help that person'.
Dr. Menniger had a firm grasp on the fact that helping others is, oftentimes, the best way to help oneself. And in today's passage Isaiah gave a similar message to the people of Israel: if you want to be blessed by God, be a blessing to others. These are not the words that a self-centred generation wants to hear. However, mental illness, stress and many emotional problems can be caused by the choices and priorities people build their lives around.
Getting Your Head In The Right Place
Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

It is no wonder when Jesus was asked to summarise all of the Old Testament he had a single sentence for how people should treat each other... Mark 12:31 ...31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. This verse summarises what is missing in modern culture and why there are so many needless problems.
Be the example that others can learn from.
