Scripture Of The Day
Know ye that the LORD he [is] God: [it is] he [that] hath made us, and not we ourselves; [we are] his people, and the sheep of his pasture.Job 100:3
Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 22-23 ; Titus 1Thoughts For The Day
Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.If you have nothing else to do, look about you and see if there isn't something close at hand that you can improve! It may make you wealthy, though it is more likely that it will make you happy.
Dwell not upon thy weariness, thy strength shall be according to the measure of thy desire.

Personal Story Of The Day
The Life Is In The BloodDonated blood used in transfusions saves lives. By that measure, James Harrison is a world-class lifesaver! James has been recognized as the Guinness world-record holder for the most blood donated by an individual. He has made over 1000 donations during his lifetime and due to his unusual plasma composition has saved over 2.5 million babies who were treated for Rhesus disorder.
Blood means life. As the New Testament confirms, the shedding of blood is required for forgiveness (v22). Blood symbolizes life, and without forgiveness through the shedding of blood, we were dead in our sins.
God's entire plan of redemption hinged on the shedding of His Son's blood. That's why blood symbolism permeated the Mosaic Law. To sprinkle blood was to purify, cleanse, or set apart as holy. Blood was a sign of the covenant and a reminder to obey God (v20). 'Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.' Hebrews 9... simply means that forgiveness couldn't be offered without death... the death of a perfect substitute.
Christ's blood was more than symbolism. His death completed the potential for our salvation. Where is our sin now? Gone. He's done away with it (v26)! The daily purification of sin has not ceased, it is now accomplished in a better way, under a better covenant, by a better high priest, through better promises. Today, we don't repeat Christ's sacrifice (we couldn't), neither do we continue the Laws of animal sacrifices.

Instead, we honour and remember Christ's death through the principles contained within the 'communion'. The cup represents His blood (Luke 22:20). As Jesus Himself said: Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him (see John 6:53-56).
We also eagerly await His Second Coming when God's plan of redemption will reach fruition (v28). Just as the Israelites watched for the high priest to emerge from the Holy of Holies on the Day of Atonement, so we long for the return of our Lord and Saviour.

Jokes Of The Day
It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off.************************************
A lonely frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and asked what his future holds. His personal psychic advisor tells him: "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."
The frog is delighted with this news,
"This is great! Will I meet her at a party?" he croaks.
"No," says the psychic, "in biology class."
************************************
A man goes into a pet store looking for a monkey. "I don't want any old monkey," he says to the store owner, "I want one that can do something special." The store owner points towards three identical looking monkeys in politically-correct, animal-friendly natural mini-habitats.
"The one on the left costs $500," says the store owner.
"Why so much?" asks the customer.
"Because it can program in C," answers the store owner.
The customer inquires about the next monkey and is told, "That one costs $1500, because it knows Visual C++ and Object-Relational technology."
The startled man then asks about the third monkey. "That one costs $3000," answers the store owner.
"3000 dollars!!" exclaims the man. "What can that one do?"
The owner replies, "To be honest, I've never seen it do a single thing, but it calls itself a Consultant."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Animal WithinIn his book 'Adjust Or Self-Destruct', Craig Massey draws some familiar parallels between our actions as human beings and those of animals. Here are a few of them: A "snake in the grass" is a cunning, deceitful person. A grouch is an "old bear." A coward is a "chicken," and a glutton is a "pig." We've all used such descriptive terms, as well we have probably acted them out in our own lives.
When we hear the Gospel Of Salvation and obey its full message (repentance, water baptism and the anointing of the Spirit), we become new creatures (2 Corinthians 5:17) and we speak a new language peculiar to the new creature (tongues), but the "animals" of our old life do not just curl up and die. They keep trying to assert themselves. Paul saw them as springing from "the flesh" (Galatians 5:17).
He didn't mean our physical body, but that sinful disposition inherited from Adam (Romans 7:18-21; Galatians 5:16-21). No matter how spiritually mature we become in this life, these tendencies stay with us. But there's good news. By faith we are one with Christ (1 Corinthians 6:17), and His Spirit lives within us to enable us to overcome sinful thoughts, attitudes, and actions. Our faith must not be passive, however. Once we recognize these sinful tendencies, we must reject them (Romans 6:12) and build upon spiritual motivations.
These beasts are not subdued easily. No victory is ever won without a struggle. But we can resist and overcome... in the power of God's Spirit.
The Struggle Against Unbelief
Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. Mark 16:14.
It is comforting to know that Jesus needed to rebuke even the disciples, the apostles-to-be, for their unbelief. He rebuked and reproached them; He did not reject them. He knew that in the future, when they would serve Him, they would not see Him. He would be with them through the Spirit and the Word He had given them, but He would not be visible. Therefore, it was necessary for them to believe in Him.

Therefore, it was necessary for them to believe in Him.
From the time of the resurrection until now, Jesus has continued with the struggle to hinder unbelief from taking root and spreading among His disciples. We sometimes accept doubt and unbelief. Sometimes people speak nobly about their lack of faith. They claim they cannot fully believe because of their personal problems or their special circumstances... as if it was a question of natural ability.
In fact, it is a question of their will, their desire to be independent. They are unwilling to give up their selfishness and sinful pleasures. Instead, they try to disguise this unwillingness in sophisticated excuses. 'Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God.'(Hebrews 3:12-13). The Bible associates unbelief with evil, not nobility.
Unbelief among disciples is no different than being on one side in a war but fighting with the other... the enemy. That is why Jesus confronted it; He wanted the disciples to believe what He said and showed to them. Only then could God's kingdom spread. Only then could they be the type of believers who could preach salvation, heal the sick and do mighty signs and wonders.
