Scripture Of The Day
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.2 Timothy 1:6
Read The Bible In a Year
Psalms 148-150 ; 1 Corinthians 15:29-58Thoughts For The Day
God doesn't love us in spite of our faults, He loves us through them as if they don't exist.It's not such a miracle when we believe in God as when we realize God believes in us.
Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.

Personal Story Of The Day
Solutions For Everything
An executive of the world's largest toy maker said, "We are such a machine in terms of what we deliver on an annual basis, that it doesn't allow time to think." In an effort to stimulate creativity, this company is taking selected employees out of corporate headquarters and encouraging them to think together in new ways.
For instance, when asked to devise a method to prevent an egg from breaking if dropped from 14 feet, one group went beyond the conventional approach of trying to cushion its fall and created an egg bungee cord.
What about us? Are our lives so focused on activity and production that we don't take time to think? In Paul's letter to the Philippians, he told them to meditate on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and of good report (4:8). What would happen if we began this kind of thinking together in our churches and homes?
Might we discover creative, God given approaches to problems that seem to defy solution? Would our perspective on life undergo a radical change? "Meditate on these things" is a great command. Obeying it with our families and other believers could open doors of discovery for helping others, serving God, and living a full and joyful life.
That is one of the great blessings that regular fellowship provides... now that's something to think about!
Jokes Of The Day
During a recent publicity outing, Hillary Clinton took some time off to visit a fortune teller of some local repute. In a dark and hazy room, peering into a crystal ball, the mystic delivered grave news. "There's no easy way to say this, so I'll just be blunt: Prepare yourself to be a widow. Your husband will die a violent and horrible death this year."Visibly shaken, Hillary stared at the woman's lined face, then at the single flickering candle, then down at her hands. She took a few deep breaths to compose herself. She simply had to know. She met the fortuneteller's gaze, steadied her voice, and asked her question.
"Will I be acquitted?"

Three boys were bragging about their fathers. The first one said, "My father runs so fast he can fire an arrow, start running, and get there before the arrow!"
The second one said, "That's nothing! My father can shoot a gun, start running, and get there before the bullet!"
The third boy just smiled. "That's nothing. My father is a public servant. He gets off work at 5 and is home before 4!"
************************************
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."

Riddle Of The Day

Your fears.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew10:32. References from Mark 14:53-71.
When Jack's friends learned that he was scheduled to go to court for a minor traffic accident, they urged him to plead not guilty before the judge. The driver of the other car probably won't show up, they told him. Why pay a fine when you don't have to? Jack explained that his conscience wouldn't let him do as they suggested. I'm guilty, he said. The accident was my fault. I can't tell a lie and say otherwise.
Jesus faced an even greater consequence for telling the truth... a death sentence. Jesus was brought before a hastily convened session of the Sanhedrin, the ruling religious council in Jerusalem. Although they possessed the authority to have Jesus whipped, the Roman government did not grant the Sanhedrin the right to exercise capital punishment on their own.
One purpose for this late-night trial was to gather the kind of evidence that could be presented to the Roman governor to make a case for sentencing Jesus to death. At first their efforts appeared to be unfruitful when those who were brought forward to testify against Jesus failed to agree. The Law of Moses required the agreement of at least two witnesses before a man could be put to death (see Deut. 17:6).
Jesus remained silent during their testimony until the High Priest asked Him directly whether He was the Christ. Jesus not only said yes, He did so in a way that underscored His claim to be equal with God the Father (v62). The result was swift. In a dramatic public display of disapproval, the High Priest announced that no further evidence was necessary. Jesus was condemned simply because He told the truth about Himself.
Peter's behaviour during Christ's trial stands in sharp contrast. Facing the same threat, he caved to the pressure and emphatically claimed that he did not know Jesus. He had been called by Christ to be a disciple and a witness. Instead of owning up to this calling, Peter's fear of the possible consequences led him to disown His Saviour... that soon changed once he had the power within him!
Reversal Of Fortunes
And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:10.
Job's three friends found themselves in deep trouble with God. The Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, that his wrath was aroused against him and his two friends, that 'you have not spoken of Me what is right' (Job 42:7). Having been on the receiving end of their misguided advice, Job might have been tempted to rejoice that God was setting these men straight. But instead, at God's request, he prayed for them. And as he prayed for their forgiveness and restoration, God turned these prayers for blessing back onto Job and restored twice as much as Job had before.
When people have hurt and offended us, we often pray that God will help them see the error of their ways. And should God choose to extract a bit of vengeance, we wouldn't be opposed to that either. But the real joy comes if we can put our pain behind us and pray for God's blessing on them. Jesus says, that 'we should do good to those who hate us, and pray for those who spitefully use and persecute us' (Matt 5:44). We are to pray for their good, not for their harm.
If you have been the object of someone's misunderstanding, pray for that person. Ask God to richly bless him. You will be surprised to find that the blessings may boomerang back to you as well. Praying for others is the best thing we can do for ourselves.
