Personal Story Of The Day

Offences Shall Surely Come

The words we speak will often get us into trouble quicker than anything else we might do. A word spoken before thinking can result in damage that seems beyond repair. The books of Proverbs and James reveal much wisdom about what we say. Both give us warnings that should help us pause before we speak. We also can learn from those books on how to speak. Still, we come back to the problem of delivery... how to do what we know we are supposed to do. Too often we find ourselves digging a hole with our mouths. 

David gives us an example to follow. It is not a count to ten or some other technique to practice. It is what you would expect from a godly person. His approach was to pray. Notice that it was not a prayer of the moment, as in, Help me not to say this! but a prayer for a consistent quality of speech. He prayed, Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. (141:3). 

We need a gatekeeper, one who watches over our mouth. If we make that our prayer, God will help us so that what goes out of our mouth is only that which the sentry allows to pass. Let the truth offend them if they wish, but not the manner of the speaker.

Jokes Of The Day

For the first time in many years, an old man traveled from his rural town to the city to attend a movie. After buying his ticket, he stopped at the concession stand to purchase some popcorn. Handing the attendant $1.50, he couldn't help but comment, "The last time I came to the movies, popcorn was only 15 cents."

"Well, sir," the attendant replied with a grin, "You're really going to enjoy yourself. We have sound now."

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

A judge was instructing the jury that a witness was not necessarily to be regarded as untruthful because he changed his statement after he gave it to the police.

"For example," he said, "when I entered my chambers today, I was positive that I had my gold watch in my pocket. But then I remembered that I left in on my nightstand in my bedroom."

When the judge returned home that evening, his wife asked him, "Why so much urgency for your watch? Isn't sending three men to pick it up for you a bit extreme?"

"What?" said the judge, "I didn't send anyone for my watch, let alone three people. What did you do?"

"I gave it to the first one," said the wife, "he knew exactly where it was."

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

The Earthworm

My daughter-in-law Alma and grandson Eddy were digging for fishing bait in my garden. Uncovering a many-legged creature, Eddy proudly dangled it before his mother.

"No, honey, he won't do for bait," his mother said. "He's not an earthworm."

"He's not?" Eddy asked, his eyes wide. "What planet is he from?"

Riddle Of The Day

"At night they come without being fetched,
And by day they are lost without being stolen."

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Big as a biscuit, deep as a cup, Even a river can't fill it up. What is it?
A kitchen strainer.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


Future Psalms

God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness. Psalm 47:8. References from Psalms 67; 72.

History is filled with numerous individuals who declared their own glory and splendour. For example, Caesar Augustus issued decrees to proclaim himself the saviour of the world. However, the Bible shows that only the Lord God Almighty is to be worshiped, and His name alone is to be proclaimed throughout the world. Consider, for example, Psalm 67. This psalm seems to have clear links to the promise made to Abraham that he would both be blessed and be a blessing to all the peoples. 

As you read this psalm, you may have also  been reminded of the blessing found in Numbers 6:24-26. That blessing was given by Aaron the high priest to the nation Israel, here it's applied to all the nations of the world. Notice also that the purpose of the blessing is so that God's ways and salvation may be known throughout the world (v2). This is the same idea behind the promise to Abraham: that the blessing given to him would be a blessing for all the people of the earth. This point is made clear in verse 6, where the psalmist asks for God's blessing on his own people (us) so that all peoples might fear and praise the Lord. 

In Psalm 72, we find a psalm written by Solomon that celebrates the ordination of the king. But as we read this psalm, it's clearly talking about a king who is much greater than Solomon. Not surprisingly, this psalm is considered to be messianic (it describes the perfect reign of our Lord Jesus Christ). Notice the emphasis on justice (v4, 12-14) and the extent of the king's rule through the whole world (v8). In fact, all kings and nations will serve Him (v11). And notice the clear link to the promise given to Abraham that is found in verse 17. 

Unlike the decree to worship a human ruler who will pass away, the call here is to praise the Lord God whose glory fills the whole earth!


Who does it really hurt?

Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. Joshua 7:11-12.

We never sin alone. A study of 8,415 adults revealed that those exposed to second-hand smoke experienced a 10 percent increase in the thickening of their carotid arteries, which supply blood to the brain. Thickening of the carotid arteries is a major cause of strokes. Other statistics indicate that drug and alcohol abuse is costing businesses many billions of dollars a year in absenteeism, workplace accidents, higher insurance costs, waste and low productivity. 

This cost is passed on to consumers in the prices of goods and services.

Achan may have thought that his sin affected only him. Yet when Joshua went before the Lord to find out why his army had been defeated at Ai, God said, "Israel sinned." Achan's sin caused grief to Joshua (v6-7), to the families of the 36 men struck down at Ai (v5) and especially to his own family (v24-25). Achan's sin not only hurt him, but everyone around him. People still excuse their sin by saying, "It doesn't hurt anyone but me." But the facts prove otherwise. Sin hurts everybody either directly or indirectly. 

A study claimed that spreadsheet software package costs $495, but if no one pirated programs, it would only be $322. The next time the world encourages you to sin, just remember that you won't be the only one who gets hurt. Sin hurts all of us. Reject sin by fighting temptations... overcome sin by confessing and moving forward... exercise self-control and purge sin asap. Satan is the only one who comes out ahead when we keep sinning.
