Intro
Sunday, March 22 2026from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
Good morning, Isn't today wonderful?
Only 285 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
Behold, how good and how pleasant [it is] for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalms 133:1.Read The Bible In a Year
Joshua 10-12; Luke 1:39-56.Thoughts For The Day
There are teachers, and then there are educators...Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
For every 60 seconds of anger, you lose one minute of happiness.
Motivation For The Day
Motivation refers to the initiation, intensity and persistence of behavior . Motivation is a temporal and dynamic state that should not be confused with personality or emotion. Motivation is having the encouragement to do something.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Picture This!Tourists rarely take great photographs. They seldom make the effort to be at the right spot at the right time to get the right angle of light in the right weather conditions. To capture beautiful outdoor pictures, professional photographers are careful to view the scene from different angles, during different seasons, and at different times of day.
This makes me wonder if the reason some people don't have a clear picture of the beauty and glory of God is that they make snap judgments.
They come to wrong conclusions about God based on a bad church experience, or an encounter with someone who claims to be a Christian but isn't living like one. They misjudge what the Lord is like and turn away from Him, feeling disillusioned.
The pursuit of God involves more than casual observation. King David told his son Solomon, "if thou seek him, he will be found of thee" (1 Chronicles 28:9). The psalmist said, "Blessed are those who... seek Him with the whole heart!" (Psalm 119:2). And the author of Hebrews wrote that God rewards "those who diligently seek Him" (Hebrews 11:6).
If we wish to see and know God in all His fullness and glory, we can't approach Him like tourists. We need to seek Him at all times, with all our heart.
Jokes Of The Day
I've always ordered my drink one simple way: "A Coke, please."Lately, though, this hasn't seemed to work. Waitresses now often respond, "I'm sorry, we don't have Coke. We have Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Pepsi with a twist, caffeine free Pepsi"...
Tired of listening to the long list of soft drinks, I thought I'd make life easier. So one day I simply asked the snack bar attendant at a movie theater for any type of "dark, carbonated drink."
The young man behind the counter chuckled and asked, "Sir, would you like a cylindrical plastic sucking device with that?"

It was about a month ago when a Dutchman in Amsterdam felt that he needed to confess, so went to his priest.
"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. During World War II, I hid a Jewish man in my attic."
"Well," answered the priest, "that's not a sin."
"But I made him agree to pay me 20 dollars for every week he stayed."
"I admit that wasn't good, but you did it for a good cause."
"Oh thank you Father; that eases my mind. Um, I have one more question..."
"What is that, my son?"
"Do I have to tell him the war is over?"

Riddle Of The Day

Why do we say "amen" and not "awomen?"
Because we sing "hymns," not "hers."
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Trial Of The Trial.
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? Job 9:29. References from Job 9:1-24.
The institution of trial by jury is foundational to the governance of our country. The underlying premise of this system is, of course, that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Although we rightly retain our confidence in this system, many people have recently voiced concern about the growing power of the court of public opinion.
With increased media attention, some people claim that high profile defendants have a harder time getting a fair trial.
Job would likely agree with these sentiments. He challenges his friends that they have already judged him to be guilty before hearing his case. Because they've already reached a verdict, they aren't really listening to him. Job's third speech draws upon the image of a courtroom, where he feels judged by both God and his friends. He begins by readily acknowledging the justice of God, just as he has done all along.
At this point, Job agrees with some of the assessments of his friends. Job is also well aware of the sovereign power of the Lord. His statements in verses 4-13 all affirm the mightiness of God the Creator.
However, the justice and power of God lead Job to despair, for he knows that no one can resist the power of God unscathed (v4). Clearly Job resents being on trial by his friends, but he is terrified to bring his defence before the Lord. He knows that he can't even find adequate words for an argument with God (v14). God is even more powerful than Rahab, a mythical sea creature and an ancient symbol of uncontrollable natural and supernatural force.
Even so, Job's desperation drives him to spill out his accusations against the Lord (v13). It's clearly wrong for Job to accuse the Lord of mocking the despair of the innocent (v23) and of being unfair (v24).
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. 2 Kings 2:14.
In the time that Elijah had spent with Elisha, he left behind footprints that he hoped his "spiritual son" would be able and willing to follow. Not the least of these was the miraculous way God demonstrated His power through his prophet. Just as the Lord had parted the water of the Jordan River when Elijah struck it with his mantle (v8), Elisha soon discovered that God would do the same for him as he walked in Elijah's footsteps.
Every Christian leaves behind footprints. As they walk through the good times as well as times of difficulty, and as they demonstrate God's power and presence in the various situations they encounter as faithful believers, a Christian leaves indelible impressions upon those who are watching.
If people were to follow in your footsteps, where would they be led? Would they find themselves at places of pleasure more often than at church or with Christians? Would your footprints lead to questionable activities rather than to Godly behaviour?
Would they discover more intimacy with God because they trod where you had stepped? As you make your way through life, remember that others are coming behind you. Be sure your feet only take you where you want their feet to take them. Like it or not, you're leaving footprints behind that they will want to follow.
Facts Of The Day
Your ears aren't just good for helping you hear. They help you keep your balance as well. Near the top of the cochlea are three loops called the semi-circular canals. These canals are full of fluid that moves when you move your head. It pushes up against the cilia and sends messages to your brain that tells it how your body is moving.
