Jeremiah 48-49; Hebrews 7.Thoughts For The Day
Dreams come true; without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.All our dreams can come true... if we have the courage to pursue them.
Never stop. One stops as soon as something is about to happen.
Motivation For The Day
God is not saying to us, "Come boys, each of you do your thing and try to get along." He is saying, "It is time to do my thing. Take these keys... a Gospel that is true, a love that has flesh on it, and the power that belongs to me alone, and open the door to the world."On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Turning Things Around
It's a weird feeling when you discover you are going in the wrong direction. You suddenly have a feeling of loss of control. Then anxiety and even fear set in, thinking you might not be able to correct the situation. Anger is next, that you can be so dense as to not know what is right. And then, there are the consequences.
Our society talks a great deal about the "Ladder of Success," carefully articulating the steps to succeed in life. But what about the very real "Stairway to Failure?" The steps that can easily take us the wrong way are:
-Distraction (from our "first love")
-Deceit (a false sense of hope or belief)
-Discouragement (that we can't "get it together")
-Disassociation (from other believers, and God)
-Denial (that we "aren't" going the wrong way)
-Delay (we freeze in making important decisions)
-Demean (we condemn others for making faithful decisions)
-Debt (we suddenly find that we "owe" more than expected)
-Depression (that there is no hope or help)
-Defeat (we finally realize that we are lost)
-Destruction (the consequences)
Jesus said, "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10:10).
Repent and rejoice in the Lord today, knowing that Christ has given us everything that leads to life everlasting!

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Failing Of The Pharisees
Training A Child
Luke 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
When we were little, we might not always agree with what our parents said, but we trusted them, nevertheless. We knew Mom and Dad were there to help us through anything. We felt they could get us out of any little scrapes, and they'd stick up for us, during any fusses.
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: Matthew 23:13. References from Matthew 23:1-39.
Scientists have recently uncovered one of the secrets of the brittle star (a relative of the starfish). Its ability to flee from ocean predators, hunt, and change colours from day to night... despite having no eyes... had long puzzled researchers. As it turns out, the brittle star (or serpent star) is itself, one enormous eye.
The species of brittle star in question has a skeleton made up of calcite crystals that function like an eye. The crystals give visual information that allows the creature to see and respond to its environment. One scientist called them nearly perfect microlenses.
Though it appears blind, in fact the brittle star can see with an eye that modern technology cannot match. By contrast, the Pharisees, though they appeared to be the spiritual seers of Israel, were in fact blind guides. As we saw in yesterday's verses, they rejected Christ and lost many public debates with Him. In today's verses, Jesus delivered a summary condemnation of how badly they had failed.
The first seven verses give an overview. The Pharisees didn't practice what they preached. They were hypocrites. They were proud. They pursued human recognition and praise.
The following verses provide an instructive contrast. The pre-eminence of God as Father and of Jesus as the Master Teacher revealed the values and pursuits of the Pharisees as empty. As we have seen in the 'first shall be last and the last first' verses, humility is the real test of greatness in God's kingdom... a truth that the Pharisees neither understood nor practiced.
Most of the rest of the chapter consists of seven pronouncements of woe or judgment. These are somewhat formal curses or condemnations, and go into detail about the Pharisees' spiritual condition. They blocked the door to the kingdom of heaven. They thought legalism was praiseworthy. They didn't understand worship. They were careful in small duties but neglected what God wanted most. They ignored and opposed God's Word and killed His messengers. They broke God's covenant.
These pitfalls are easy for all of us to fall into.

I can hear my grandchildren now! Each one of them thinks he is right; one claims to be right and so does the other. Well, isn't that always the thinking of a little child? Even if they understand they did something wrong, they usually try to place the blame on someone else. We try to instil honesty into the grandchildren, so they will grow up with good values.
When you teach a little child good values, then he/she will grow up with good values. That's not to say that one will not stray, but they know how they should conduct themselves in life and will come back. We always taught our children to be honest, never to lie.

Lying will get you in trouble and will always catch up with you. Scripture says to train up a child in the way they should go, and they will not depart from it.
