1 Samuel 17-18; Luke 11:1-28.Thoughts For The Day
It doesn't work to leap a twenty-foot chasm in two ten-foot jumps.'We can't do great things in this life . . . We can only do small things with great love.' -- Mother Theresa
To take all that we are and have and hand it over to God may not be easy; but it can be done; and when it is done, the world has in it one less candidate for misery.

Personal Story Of The Day
Two people can look at the same thing, at the same time, and see things differently. An old table in a second hand store looks like trash to one, a treasure to another. One set of fans at a footy game will see triumph, the others tragedy.
On the Mount of Olives, that first Palm Sunday (Sunday before Easter... Jesus' death), two saw the same scene differently. The disciples saw the triumph of the moment, while Jesus saw the tragedy. As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it (Luke 19:41). Jesus saw tragedy that day, not triumph.
The tragedy had three parts. First, the people wanted peace but did not know what would bring peace to them. True peace is found only in Jesus Christ.
Second, they did not realize the destruction they faced. A few years later Rome captured Jerusalem, killing more than 600,000 people and destroying the temple. Jesus also knew that they would all face judgment unless they receive the ongoing forgiveness of sins through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Third, He wept because they did not recognize the time of God's coming (Luke 19:44). God became a man and lived among us... Immanuel! Yet many did not recognize that and instead rejected Him. A few days after Palm Sunday the cries of "Hosanna!" became "Crucify him!" What do you see when you look at your church and your calling?
Jokes Of The Day
An old European monastery is perched high on a 500 foot cliff. Visitors ride up in a big basket, pulled to the top with a ragged old rope.Halfway up, a passenger nervously asked: "How often do you change the rope?"
The monk in charge replied: "Whenever the old one breaks."

Mac died at the controls of a plane and went to pilot's hell, where he found a hideous devil and three doors. The devil was busy escorting other pilots to various "hell rooms." He said, "I'll be right back don't go away," and he vanished. Sneaking over to the first door, Mac peeked in and saw a cockpit where the pilot was condemned to forever run through preflight checks. He slammed the door and peeked into the second. There, alarms rang and red lights flashed while a pilot had to avoid one emergency after another. Unable to imagine a worse fate Mac cautiously opened the third door. He was amazed to see many beautiful attendants answering to a captain's every whim. He quickly returned to his place seconds before the devil reappeared.
"Okay, Mac," said the devil, "Which door will it be, number 1 or number 2?" "Um, I want door number 3," answered Mac.
"Sorry," said the devil. "You can't have door number 3, that's flight attendants' hell."

Five-year-old Becky answered the door when the census taker came by. She told the census taker that her daddy was a doctor and wasn't home because he was performing an appendectomy.
"My," said the census taker, "that sure is a big word for such a little girl. Do you know what it means?"
"Sure do! Fifteen-hundred bucks, and that doesn't even include the anesthesiologist!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
More Than Meets The Eye
For our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29. References from Job 38:1-11.
God doesn't govern His universe as Job, or anyone else thinks He should, but according to His unsearchable wisdom. God isn't timid... He speaks to Job out of the storm... but He is perfectly good and completely loving. So, when Job finally gets the audience with the Lord that he requested, he's not the one asking the questions! Instead, like a prosecuting attorney, the Lord fires off the questions and informs Job, You will answer me (38:3).
God challenges Job's insinuation that He wasn't administering justice fairly. This interrogation covers Job 38 and 39, but it could be paraphrased in this one penetrating question: Were you present at creation? (38:4). Of course, Job wasn't. Therefore, Job isn't in a position to accuse the Lord of being unjust or unloving.
To be fair, Job has had a few moments of brilliance in understanding God's wisdom and perfection (see Job 28). But he's also slipped into pride because he had judged the Lord solely based on what he could see.
He had failed to consider that there was more to the picture than what met his own eyes or came from his own understanding.
And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. Ruth 3:11
Blaise Pascal, a 17th century philosopher and theologian, declared, "The virtue of a man ought to be measured, not by his extraordinary exertions, but by his everyday conduct." The people of Bethlehem had noticed Ruth's daily conduct, and that earned her the reputation of being a virtuous woman. She lived during the period known as the Judges... an era of Israel's history when "everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Jud 17:6).
It was a time of loose morals, and, as she approached Boaz in the dark of night, her good intentions might have been misunderstood. But Boaz knew her reputation for virtue, and he had seen her conduct as she gleaned among the reapers.
Based on this information, he had no question about her motives and no qualms in agreeing to do all that she requested. God wants His people to live virtuous lives no matter what the rest of society does. Peter admonished, "But also for this very reason (the corruption of the world) giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue" (2 Pet 1:5).
In the midst of a society that appears to enjoy wallowing in the pigsty of immorality, it is important that we live with virtue. Why? Because virtuous living keeps us in close fellowship with God. In addition, it sets us apart as a witness to the cleansing power of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.
At a time when once again "every man is doing what is right in his own eyes," you and I need to be distinguished as people of virtue. Make sure your daily conduct reflects faith and virtue. In every respect, deal honestly with those around you. Keep not only your actions but also your thoughts from impurity. By doing so, you will build for yourself the best reputation of all... not of shrewdness or business acumen, but of virtue.
