Personal Story Of The Day
That's How It WorksYears ago, a man who was visiting the United States wanted to make a telephone call. He entered a phone booth but found it to be different from those in his own country. It was beginning to get dark, so he had difficulty finding the number in the directory. He saw a light in the ceiling but didn't know how to turn it on.
As the man tried again to find the number, a passerby noticed his problem and said, "Sir, if you want to turn the light on, you have to shut the door." To the visitor's amazement, when he closed the door, the booth was filled with light. He soon located the number and completed the call.
In a similar way, when we set aside time to pray (Matthew 6:6), we must "shut the door" to block out our busy world. As we open our hearts to God, we receive the light of His wisdom. Jesus often went to be alone with His Father for strength and guidance. Sometimes it was after a busy day of preaching and healing (Luke 5:12-16). At other times, it was before making a major decision (Luke 6:12-13).
We can have the confidence that "if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (1 John 5:14). But we must remember that to "turn the light on," we must first "shut the door" by closing out the world for a moment. The Spirit in you will do the rest.

Jokes Of The Day
One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice,"Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?" The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.
"I can't dear," she said.
"I have to sleep in Daddy's room." A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:
"The big sissy."

Minutes before the cremation, the undertaker quietly sat down next to the grieving widow.
"How old was your husband?" he asked.
"He was ninety-eight," she answered softly. "Two years older than I am."
"Really?" the undertaker said. "Hardly worth going home, wouldn't you say?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Inheritance in Christ[I pray that] The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Ephesians 1:18
An inheritance is something wonderful yet sad. It offers great blessing, yet it means that someone close has passed away. We do not receive an inheritance from strangers or enemies. An inheritance involves a price and sadly it requires the death of someone who usually has meant a great deal to you. The inheritance needs a will because without it, it is unclear who should inherit what.
This often leads to confusion, jealousy and greediness amongst the potential heirs... the exact opposite of what the deceased person would want. However, when the will is clear, each person knows precisely what he or she has been granted. God operates in the same manner. He has made us heirs. In fact, we are joint heirs. The true heir is Jesus; He is the principal heir. 'And if children [of God], then heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together' (Romans 8:7).
Through Christ we have become partakers of a great inheritance. Traditionally the son inherited his father's kingdom. But in this case, the Son had died. Why? The Son died to enable us, who previously had another father, namely the devil or the world, to become co-heirs with Him. Through Jesus' death, God could legally adopt us and impart His nature in us.
In this way we become both legal and genetic heirs with Jesus (genetically because we have the same Holy Spirit dwelling within us... a spiritual link of the highest order). We have a share in the heavenly inheritance.
The will clarifies the content of the inheritance. We need eyes to read the will and a Helper who explain what our full share of the inheritance is. Our Helper's name is the Holy Spirit.

When You Believe In Nothing
People who grow up without a belief in an afterlife or God, have no sense of accountability to anyone other than themselves. They are restrained only by what they can get away with. For people in leadership positions, or kids wielding assault rifles in school, that is pretty much anything they like. The problem with Atheism is that there is no inherent Golden Rule, to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
There is no acceptance of any kind of absolute morality. Even if there was, there is no fear of a higher authority to compel people to abide by such rules. The concept of consequences is managed through lying and deceit. Without God there are no lasting values, no sense of lasting loyalty, no measure of how love works nor what it can achieve. It doesn't take much to see the results of such beliefs... look at the nature of any Godless nation around the world.
No prosperity, no happiness that lasts, just lots of alcohol and selfishness. If there is no God, then there is no future and no solution to life problems outside of your own opinions. These beliefs can change from minute to minute because we have no lasting sense of right and wrong... these become whatever we want them to be and then we change our minds.
PSA 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,
there is none that doeth good.
When you believe in nothing... that is what you get to keep.
