from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship

Greetings to all.


Only 35 days to the year 2026


Scripture Of The Day

[Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Psalms 31:19.


Read The Bible In a Year

Ezekiel 30-32; 1 Peter 4.


Thoughts For The Day

It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.


Motivation For The Day

Get excited and enthusiastic about you own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire - you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.

Personal Story Of The Day

Never Alone

Robinson Crusoe, the chief character in a novel by Daniel Defoe, was shipwrecked and stranded on an uninhabited island. Life was hard, but he found hope and comfort when he turned to the Word of God. 

Crusoe said, "One morning, being very sad, I opened the Bible upon these words, 'I will never, never leave thee, nor forsake thee.' 

Immediately it occurred that these words were to me; why else should they be directed in such a manner, just at the moment when I was mourning over my condition, as one forsaken of God and man? "

"'Well then,' said I, 'if God does not forsake me... what matters it, though the world should all forsake me?' From this moment I began to conclude in my mind that it was possible for me to be more happy in this forsaken, solitary condition than it was probable that I should ever have been in any other state in the world; and with this thought I was going to give thanks to God for bringing me to this place." 

Have you been forsaken by a friend, a child, a spouse? God has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5). So you too can say with confidence, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?" (v6). 


Jokes Of The Day

A Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age.

The group had surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"

One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighbourhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."

Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."

************************************

Here is the LOST CHAPTER IN GENESIS....
Adam was walking around the garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked him,
"What is wrong with you?"
Adam said he didn't have anyone to talk to.
God said that He was going to make Adam a companion and that it would be a woman.

He said,
"This person will gather food for you, cook for you, and when you discover clothing she'll wash it for you. She will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache and will freely give you love and passion whenever you need it.

Adam asked God, "What will a woman like this cost?"
God replied, "An arm and a leg."
Then Adam asked, "What can I get for a rib?"
The rest is history..

************************************

Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked a young engineer who was fresh out of MIT, "What starting salary were you thinking about?" The Engineer said, "In the neighbourhood of $125,000 a year, depending on the benefits package." 

The interviewer said, "Well, what would you say to a package of 5 weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years - say, a red Corvette?" The Engineer sat up straight and said, "Wow! Are you kidding?" The interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you started the joke first."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

A Relationship Like No Other.

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy... Hebrews 4:16. References from Hebrews 4:14-16. 

Special relationships with people in high places results in all sorts of special access. And our relationship with Christ gives us immediate access that even a king would envy. Today's verses in Hebrews reveals that, with Christ as our high priest, we enjoy benefits even Solomon couldn't call his own. Our high priest has ascended higher than any Old Testament priest ever could (v14)! But our access comes not just from Christ's lofty position in heaven, but also from the common experiences Jesus went through on earth (v15). 

We have a high priest who can relate to our weaknesses and has overcome all our temptations. Because of that unique relationship, we can approach the throne of grace with confidence to receive help whenever we need it... whether its grace when we suffer or mercy when we stumble (v16). This doesn't negate, however, Ecclesiastes' warning about the appropriate awe the presence of God should stir within us. 

It simply adds another dimension to the picture. 'Under the sun' thinking, puts primary stress on our sin without considering the redemptive power of our heavenly high priest. Our inclination toward faithlessness makes any oaths we might make to God very risky. But Christ's priesthood is confirmed with an oath straight from God that can never be broken (Heb. 7:20-22). 

Even as king of Israel and even with God speaking directly to him multiple times, Solomon in all his riches never enjoyed such a relationship. Today, we should stand in awe of the amazing privileges we've gained through the death of our High Priest on the cross. Is there some temptation in your life you're afraid to confess, some sin you've never had the courage to confess? Jesus can sympathize with whatever you're facing! You can approach His throne with boldness and claim His grace and mercy in your time of need. 

Ask Him for both the strength to confess your sins and the power to resist and flee temptation as it inevitably arises in the future. Don't be afraid to set foot in His throne room! 


What Connection?

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalms 37:4. 

We all have connections to something or someone. Ever see someone who is driving an expensive European car, wearing those beautiful, designer clothes, or living in a gorgeous house, and wonder to yourself, 'to whom are they connected? How did they obtain all this"? Perhaps they were heir to a fortune, or just got lucky on the stock market. 

Perhaps they have scrimped and saved all their lives to have the luxuries they are now enjoying. Or perhaps they got it illegally... hope not! But, just by looking at someone, you never know how they have what they have.

There is usually 'one connection' to a person's life we can never miss. The way they conduct themselves, the way they speak about God and His goodness, and what comes from their mouth lets you know if you are dealing with a Christian or not. If you can see the gospel light in someone, then you know their connection! It is Jesus Christ... the anointing of the Spirit is hard to hide!

He can give you a life of 'luxury'... I'm not speaking of material things. I'm speaking of those things to come, but he will also give you the 'desires' of the heart, if they line up with His Word. If we seek the Savior's face daily, keep His commandments, and do not doubt in our minds, then the world can't hold us back. 

We are heirs to His promises and to His Kingdom. Now, that is some connection!
