Scripture Of The Day
Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalms 1:1.Read The Bible In a Year
Ezekiel 3-4; Hebrews 11:20-40.Thoughts For The Day
If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.

Personal Story Of The Day
Remember Your HistoryGive me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart. Psalm 119:34.
In the mid-eighteenth century, Sir William Blackstone became the first man to explain English common law in a way understandable to a layperson. His lectures, first given at Oxford University, were expanded to four volumes and published as Commentaries on the Laws of England.
These books sold very well, and the concepts they expounded later served as a cornerstone of the American Constitution. Due to this groundbreaking work, Blackstone achieved lasting fame.
The Law God had given at Sinai wasn't nearly as obscure as English common law, but the Israelites still needed many points explained. Even more, they needed to be encouraged and exhorted to obey what they knew.

This was the motivation behind Moses sermons in the book of Deuteronomy. As he finished his second address (Deut 25), his final comments urged the people toward righteous living.
Although this section contains many miscellaneous regulations, one ongoing theme was to remember history in dealings with other peoples. They should be kind to strangers, since they had been aliens in Egypt. As former slaves, they shouldn't oppress the poor. They shouldn't hate the Edomites, for the descendants of Esau were their brothers.

The Amalekites, on the other hand, should be wiped out as punishment for their irreverent attacks on God's people. And the Ammonites and Moabites were forbidden to enter the assembly because of their treatment of Israel during the Exodus.
The people were also to remember history in their dealings with God. Individuals were instructed to bring the firstfruits of their first harvest in the Promised Land before the Lord, and in their worship to recite a creed based summary of how God had worked nationally and individually (Deut 26:1-11). For leading them from slavery to a land flowing with milk and honey, God deserved all the glory!

Moses closed: 'The Lord your God commands you this day to follow these decrees and laws; carefully observe them with all your heart and with all your soul'. If we renew daily our commitment to serving God... every day we will learn more and be blessed more than the day before.
Jokes Of The Day
An Army base staff that was planning war games did not want to use live ammunition. Instead they informed the men: "In place of a rifle, you go 'Bang, bang'. In place of a knife you go, 'Stab, stab'.In place of a hand grenade you go, 'Lob, lob.'"
The game was in progress when one of the soldiers saw one of the enemy. He went, "Bang, bang," but nothing happened. He ran forward and went "Stab, stab" but nothing happened. He ran back and went "Lob, lob,"but nothing happened. Finally he walked up to the enemy and said, "You are not playing fair. I went, 'Bang, bang,' and 'Stab, stab,' and 'Lob, lob,' and you haven't fallen dead yet!"
The enemy responded, "Rumble, rumble. I'm a tank."

A fellow from Brisbane walks into the gym, hops on the treadmill, and asks the trainer if he'd like to hear a good Sydney joke.
"Listen mate," he growled. "See those 2 big guys on your left? They were both backs in the blues state of origin side. And that huge fellow on your right was a world-class wrestler at Sydney Olympics. That guy in the corner was Paramattas all-time champion weight lifter. And I specialised in 3 disciplines at Sydney's sports academy. Now, are you absolutely positive you want to go ahead and tell your joke here?"
"Nah, guess not," the man replied. "I wouldn't want to have to explain it 5 times."

A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted,
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an Hour ago but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees North latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be in Information Technology," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman, "how did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is probably
Technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information
And the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot Air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep,and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems.
The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met,
but now, somehow, NOW, it's all my fault."

Riddle Of The Day
You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards.You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
Answer to Yesterday's Riddle

Yet.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Quick ReminderHow could we forget? How could we be so much like Job? How could we fail to be awestruck by God's majesty? Yet sometimes we do forget. And like Job, we need to hear again the details of the wonders of God's creative power. Job's suffering distracted him, so our God reminded him, and us, of His unfathomable ways:
* He laid the earth's foundations (Job 38:4).
* He set the boundaries of the oceans (v8).
* He sends the morning sun (v12).
* He controls life and death (v17).
* He sends the snow, rain, and hail (v22,26,30).
* He imprints knowledge on the heart (v36).
* He sets the time for the birth of animals (39:1-3).
* He gives creatures like the ostrich their unusual ways of life (v13-18).
* He instils the horse with great power (v19-25).
* He directs the hawk and the eagle (v26-30).
Each day in every corner of the earth, in all sciences, in all life, in every observation; God's design, power and wonder are evident. Don't wait to the next meeting before you start thinking about God and his creative purposes.
May we never forget God's awesome majesty!
Abraham's Blessing Is for You
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13-14.
Sin brought the world under the curse of death (remember, every aspect of life and every deed is either cursed or blessed by God), but through Jesus Christ, the blessing was restored. What God promised Abraham now applies to us, as well. Jesus took our curse upon Himself on the cross. Therefore, God can award us His full blessing. We were redeemed so that Abraham's blessing could come over us. We are created, redeemed and restored to live a life of blessing.
This blessing applies to each and every aspect of life. It applies to the spiritual life, the natural life, the physical life, the family life, the work life, the social life, the financial life and all other areas of living. The Holy Spirit is able to be involved in every aspect of our lives. He wants to restore and enrich every area.
He wants every desert to bloom. He wants what is dead to receive life. He wants to turn all darkness to light. He earnestly desires to break through everywhere. God wants to save every person on the earth... no matter how evil or how weak.
Abraham's blessing was about building a nation whose relationship with God would open the doors to the Gentiles. Old Israel failed, but Abraham's blessing is alive and well through Jesus Christ. Even the gentiles are enjoying the great outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
Just as sap provides life to every branch and leaf of the mighty cedars of Lebanon, God wants His blessing to penetrate every area of human life. The power of the curse, which left us helpless, is broken. We could not bless ourselves, but Jesus did it for us. We could not free ourselves, but Jesus did it for us.

He took our curse, broke the chains and delivered us. Why? So we could receive the fullness of Abraham's, that is God's, blessing. You too can be the friend of God... smart people make friendships not enemies.
