Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart [are] the ways [of them].Psalms 84:5
Read The Bible In a Year
Proverbs 8-9 ; 2 Corinthians 3Thoughts For The Day
Just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.

Personal Story Of The Day
It's Just Around The Corner
During these days of ongoing, horrific world events, Christians should be appalled but not taken by surprise. Jesus forewarned us of terrible times to come (Luke 21:25-28). However, Peter reassured believers by reminding them of God's unfolding purposes and final victory. The apostle described ungodly scoffers, who in the last days will say, "Where is the promise of His coming?" (2 Peter 3:4). We too may wonder why Christ doesn't come back and change things now.
Peter affirmed that the Lord "is not slack concerning His promise," but delays His return to give people everywhere more time to repent. We mustn't forget that "with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day". Eventually the day of the Lord will come, bringing a judgment of consuming fire. This will be followed by a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness and of God's forgiven people.
As we anticipate that triumphant day, we must live consistent, holy lives, resist all evil influences, and grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ. Then, instead of despairing over evil, we will be able to share the gospel of Christ with the world.
Jokes Of The Day
A woman found herself standing at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greeted her and said, "These are the Gates to Heaven, my dear. But you must do one more thing before you can enter."The woman was very excited, and asked of St. Peter what she must do.
"Spell a word," St. Peter replied.
"What word?" she asked.
"Any word," answered St. Peter. "It's your choice."
The woman promptly replied, "Then the word I will spell is love. L-O-V-E."
St. Peter welcomed her in, and asked her if she would mind taking his place at the gates for a few minutes while he took a break. So the woman is left sitting in St. Peter's chair when a man approaches the gates, and she realizes it is her husband.
"What happened?" she cried, "Why are you here?"
Her husband stared at her for a moment, then said, "I was so upset when I left your funeral, I got in an accident. Did I really make it to Heaven?"
"Not yet," she replied, "You must spell a word first."
"What word?" he asked.
The woman responded, "Czechoslovakia."

"You haven't been painting as much road as you did on the first day,'' the manager said. ''What's the problem?''
''I'd be painting more, but the can of paint keeps getting farther and farther away!'''

Riddle Of The Day
What is it the more you take, the more you leave behind?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
Be you ever so quick, with vision keen, by your eyes, we are never seen. Unless perchance it should come to pass, you see our reflection in a looking glass. What are we?
Your own eyes.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Simple DirectionsOnly rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not. Numbers 14:9. References from Numbers 13:1-14:38.
The people of Israel should have taken the land of Canaan shortly after the spies returned, but the entire nation was swayed by the opinions of ten men. All the spies confirmed the good news, that the land was indeed flowing with milk and honey (13:27). They even showed the impressive fruit that the Promised Land yielded. The bad news: the ten cowardly spies sowed seeds of fear among the people by focusing on the size and strength of the land's inhabitants.
Joshua and Caleb were alone in their desire to enter the land, and indeed it was Caleb who was the most outspoken (13:30; 14:24). The people ignored these men of courage and instead cast their votes with the men of grasshopper sized faith. The only men they were willing to attack were Joshua and Caleb. In the book of Joshua, strength and courage were characteristics God demanded of Joshua.
The rest of the above verses helps us see why. Instead of enjoying the fruit of God's promises, the Israelites' weakness and fear brought about God's judgment, although it was tempered by His gracious answer to Moses' plea for mercy (14:19). As a result, Joshua and Caleb were the only spies who lived to see another day (14:37).
The vote among the spies quickly became a unanimous 2-0 in favour of obeying God. Chapter 13 holds a footnote that is important to God's plan for Israel and the rest of the world. Verse 16 notes that Moses actually chose the name Joshua for this hero of faith; it means: God brings salvation. God used Joshua to bring salvation to the people of Israel by delivering them into the land He promised.
That earthly salvation symbolizes the eternal salvation that God brings to us through the One who bore the same name... Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua.
Wishfully Thinking
They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my peoples lightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Jeremiah 6:14.
On Wake Island in 1950, President Truman said to Gen. Douglas MacArthur, "I want only three words as my epitaph 'He Brought Peace.' That was certainly a worthy and noble ambition, yet how elusive and disappointing the hope! Since the days of Truman, the United States has been involved in two major military actions, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, plus numerous smaller skirmishes... then came the Middle East and Afghanistan.
The desire for peace has been admirable, but so far it's only been wishful thinking. The leaders of Israel also had high hopes of peace. The prophets and priests announced that God would keep them safe (Jer 28:2). Israel would not be pulled into the conflict around them. They would not fall victim to the advancing Babylonian army. Yet it was all wishful thinking.
By 605 B.C. Babylon occupied Judah, and in 586 B.C. the armies of Nebuchadnezzar besieged and overthrew Jerusalem (39:1-10). The majority of people were carried into captivity and their hopes for peace, fuelled by the false claims of their leaders, turned out to be nothing more than wishful thinking.
God offers a peace that is much more than wishful thinking... it's a reality. This is not a peace, however, between opposing armies. Instead, it's a peace treaty between ourselves and Him. When we receive the Holy Spirit, the hostility between God and us is put to rest. The apostle Paul says, "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Rom 5:1).
If you have that peace with God today, give thanks. No one can take it away from you. No matter what your circumstances are, your peace with Him will never change. If you don't have that peace through Christ, walk in the spirit because your sins are forgiven... God will help you with all your weaknesses and fears.
