Scripture Of The Day
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.Psalms 2:11
Read The Bible In a Year
Lamentations 3-5 ; Hebrews 10:19-39Thoughts For The Day
When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
Enthusiasm is the inspiration of everything great. Without it no man is to be feared, and with it none despised.

Personal Story Of The Day
Keep The Lord Working In Your LifeTwo young women lost their lives in a fire that swept through their apartment as they slept. Their home was equipped with a smoke detector that was in good working order, but it hadn't gone off. Why? Fire inspectors concluded that the device had been deactivated for a party the night before. The unit had been disconnected to keep it from sounding off because of the smoke from cooking and candles.
In Acts 5 we have another example of two people who apparently deactivated an alarm system that could have saved their lives. Ananias and Sapphira must have quenched the Holy Spirit by turning a deaf ear to their consciences, believing they had plenty of good reasons for doing what they did. But their action cost them their lives.
We need to realize that the Holy Spirit was not given to annoy us like a sensitive smoke detector. He doesn't sound false alarms. When He activates our conscience by bringing to mind a principle or warning from God's Word, it is really His love and wisdom in action.
By weighing the warnings of His love against the cost of our foolishness, we'll soon realize that it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Despite what some sceptics might say, faith is central to all of life. For example, you go to a doctor whose name you can't pronounce and whose degrees you've never verified. He gives you a prescription you can't read. You take it to a chemist you've never seen before. He gives you a chemical compound you don't understand. Then you take the pill according to the instructions on the bottle. All in trusting, sincere faith! Faith in your doctor--earthly faith--might help you recover from illness, but it's useless for spiritual matters.
Abram's relationship with God begins in Genesis 12, and it isn't until chapter 17 that his name becomes the more familiar Abraham. This man would become the father of God's chosen people, through whom the Lord would teach the world about justice. One could easily excuse Abraham for being more than a little dubious about God's plans for his life. First, God told him to leave his home without telling him where he would end up (Gen 12:1).
Then God told him that his descendants would be a great nation (12:2). On top of this blessing, God added the promise of land (12:7, 13:14-15). But then Abraham and Lot, his nephew, who had come with him on his journey, had to part ways (13:8-9). And then Abraham had to turn around and rescue his nephew from captivity when Lot got caught in the middle of a battle between feuding kings (Gen 14).
By the time we get to chapter 15 of Genesis, Abraham is an old man with an old wife. He has no children, and God is still telling him that his descendants are going to be as numerous as the stars (Gen 15:6). So what does he do? He believes God.
Some have thought that in the Old Testament people were saved by keeping the Law rather than by faith. But this passage shows otherwise. Even as God and Abraham were establishing their covenant, we see the shadows of the New Testament wherein Jesus stresses the pre-eminence of faith (John 12:11). It was Abraham's faith that put him in a right relationship with God and cleared a path for God's justifying grace.

The Blessing Over Israel
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God. Deuteronomy 28:2
The people of Israel received the blessing through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. When the children of Israel were ready to enter the Promised Land, Moses prophesied a blessing and a curse over them. If they would listen to the Lord, obey His Word, follow His ways and do what He commanded, God would bestow unlimited blessings upon them. And there would be no limit as to which areas He would bless.
With God there are no limits. Limits exist in our mind because we doubt that God can, and wants to, bless us. Limits exist when we live in sin and disobedience, preventing God from blessing us. Only when we go out of our way to cease to have fellowship with God, do we come out from under the umbrella of blessing God has intended.
But if we choose to draw close to God, spend time with Him, listen to His voice and do what He says, there is no limit to the blessing He wants to bestow upon us. He says all these blessings will reach us. In Deuteronomy 28:3-15, the Lord details the various areas of life He wants to bless. All these blessings are to come upon us and become a reality in our lives, something we truly can experience in every aspect of life.
But God attaches a condition to the blessing: Obey the voice of the Lord your God. If we do not listen or obey, the blessing will not become a reality in our life. God wants a people who serve one God, the Lord, not several. He wants to have our full attention, not just a fraction of it. Then He can pour out His loving blessing upon us.
