Get up and get going...


Only 112 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

O LORD of hosts, blessed [is] the man that trusteth in thee. Psalms 84:12.

Read The Bible In a Year

Proverbs 10-12; 2 Corinthians 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.

Those who have easy, cheerful attitudes tend to be happier than those with less pleasant temperaments, regardless of money, 'making it', or success.

Motivation For The Day

God takes life's broken pieces and gives us unbroken peace.

Personal Story Of The Day

God Is Always God

I recall a Sunday school lesson from nearly 65 years ago in which we were taught to love God in spite of our circumstances. Loving God is easy when He grants our requests and provides what we desire. Loving Him in difficult circumstances tests our faith. In Daniel 3, we read of the life and death decision Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego had to make. 

If they chose to worship the golden image, they would live; if they refused, death was certain. They answered King Nebuchadnezzar: 'Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace . . . . But if not, . . . we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you have set up.' 

Were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego lacking in faith when they said "but if not"? No. They knew God was fully capable of delivering them from the fiery furnace. There's a lesson in this for all of us. 

Is God all powerful? Yes. 

Is He able to deliver us from all our problems? Yes. 

Does God always deliver us from our difficulties? No. 

We may not fully comprehend God's purpose in our difficulty and suffering, but we must not cease to love Him. We must trust Him and hope in Him in spite of the trials that threaten that may overwhelm us.

A duck walks into a feed store and asks, "Got any duck feed?"

The clerk tells him, "No, we don't have a market for it so we don't carry it." The duck says, "Okay," and leaves.

The next day, the duck walks in to the feed store and asks, "Got any duck feed?" Again the clerk says no and the duck leaves.

Next day, the duck walks in, and asks, "Got any duck feed?" The clerk says, "I've told you twice, we don't have duck feed, we've never had duck feed and we never will have duck feed. If you ask me again, I'll nail your feet to the floor." The duck leaves.

The next day, the duck walks in and asks, "Got any nails?"

"No!" anwers the clerk.

"Got any duck feed?"

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

Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house a woman looking out her kitchen window watched as they checked her meter.

Finishing the meter check, the senior supervisor challenged his younger co-worker to a footrace down the alley back to the truck to prove that an older guy could outrun a younger one. As they came tearing up to the truck, they realized the lady of that end house was huffing and puffing right behind them. They stopped immediately and asked her what was wrong.

"When I saw two gasmen running as hard as you were," gasped the woman, "I figured I'd better run too!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day

Be strong and of a good courage:... Joshua 1:6. References from Joshua 1:1-9 

You don't have to read very far into Joshua before an obvious theme emerges. Be strong and courageous is repeated over and over, and that repetition indicates just how important it was for the new leader of Israel to possess and strongly portray those characteristics. Courage is not simply a single virtue, but the strength of every virtue at its testing point. 

More than anything else, God stressed strength and courage as the predominant character traits that would define Joshua's purpose, because without courage, Joshua's other virtues might have dissolved in the face of the many challenges he faced. God paired these character traits with a clear calling for Joshua. In the opening verses of this book, God clearly communicated the task, characteristics, and guidelines He had in mind for Joshua. Verses 1-5 define precisely the boundaries of the land God would give Israel, and verse 6 makes it clear that Joshua's main task was to lead them to inherit that land. 

God would not leave Joshua in the dark as to how he would accomplish that task. After repeating the encouragement Joshua first received from Moses in Deuteronomy (31:23), God lays down the guidelines for success: meditate on the Law, obey it, and you'll succeed (v8). The foundation for Joshua's strength and courage came in the truth communicated in verse 9. God was with Joshua, and we must not overlook that. Joshua's courage was not described as intrinsic in his makeup. 

God didn't say, You are strong and courageous, although Joshua had certainly shown those traits in the past. God directed him to be strong and encouraged because no matter what weakness Joshua had, no matter how many people he had to lead, and no matter how big and fearsome the enemy might be, the Lord was with Joshua, and that was all that mattered.


The Backslider

Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. Jeremiah 8:5. 

The people of ancient Israel knew all about struggling. They, too, were backslidden. In fact, they had reached such a state in their backsliding that they preferred deceit to truth and stubbornly refused to respond to God's plea through Jeremiah to repent. The only option left was judgment. Before Jeremiah's ministry was finished, the city would fall to the Babylonians and the people would be taken into captivity. 

There is no one more unhappy than a Christian out of fellowship with His Lord. Not only does this condition bring sorrow to the backslider, but ultimately it brings judgment from God. He loves His children too much to let them continue in this condition without His intervention. He knows they're being robbed of all the good He has designed for them. If you find yourself today farther away from the Lord than you once were, you're going backwards. 

Right now is the time to do something about it. Repent of your sins, confess them and be restored to fellowship with the Lord and particularly the church. If you will judge yourself, God won't have to do it for you.
