In 1950, China invaded Tibet and forced anti-religious legislation on the highly religious Tibetan people, who practice a unique form of Buddhism. Nine years later, Tibetans launched a major rebellion, which Chinese forces crushed. The Dalai Lama fled and set up a government-in-exile across the border in India. With Dharmsala as his base, the Dalai Lama traveled the world, successfully drawing international attention to the continuing Chinese suppression of the Tibetan people and their religion.
Personal Story Of The Day
Pressure To Conform Farmers in Zentsuji, Japan, are preparing full-grown watermelons for shipment; only these are no ordinary melons, they're square! They were placed in tempered-glass cubes while they were still growing. Why would anyone want a square watermelon? They're much easier to store in a refrigerator! It's amusing to think of how a naturally round watermelon can become square because of the shape of the container in which it's grown.
This reminds me of the forces in the world that exert their influence on us and attempt to shape us. That's why in Romans 12:2 we are told not to be "conformed to this world," but to be "transformed by the renewing of [our] mind." The idea is rather simple: We are to allow the transforming Word of God to work within us and produce outward results, instead of permitting external pressures to shape us.
If we read and ponder God's Word daily, it will influence our thoughts and help us grow to be more like Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). Then we will act in a manner that pleases Him. Pressures of the world will continue to try to shape our character, but they will not succeed if God's Word is changing us from within.

You might remember the scripture in 2Corinthians 4:7-9 'But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;'. This is the opposite to the watermelon which is shaped from without.
Once we receive the Holy Spirit we are shaped from within by the forces and powers of the new, indwelling spirit. God knows we are human, he knows our fears, weaknesses and sins at a personal level, so we end up with a personal trainer who keeps shaping us forever.
Jokes Of The Day
A child came home from Sunday School and told his mother that he had learned a new song about a cross-eyed bear named Gladly. It took his mother a while before she realized that the hymn was really "Gladly The Cross I'd Bear,"************************************
As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, 'Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280. Please be careful!'
'I know,' said Herman, 'But, It's not just one car, it's hundreds of them.

Sally was driving home in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. She stopped the car and asked the woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod, the woman got in the car.
The old woman looked intently at every thing she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.
"What's in the bag?" asked the old woman?" "It's a bottle of wine I got for my husband." answered Sally.
The Navajo woman was silent for a moment or two.
Then with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, "Good trade."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Negativity Is A Destroyer Of Spiritual Hope
James Armistead, an enslaved man, was a key spy during the Revolutionary War. The English had offered freedom to any slave who joined them, and on this basis, Armistead pretended to feed information to British General Cornwallis. But he was actually a double agent, risking his life many times to bring valuable intelligence to French General Lafayette, fighting on the colonist's side.
Lafayette commended Armistead as worthy of every reward his situation could allow, and on his part, Armistead admired Lafayette so much that he added the genera'ls name to his own. For his service during the war, he was set free from slavery by the state of Virginia and later given a veteran's pension.
This scriptural reference has another surprising spy story, however one with an unhappy ending. This is the start of Moses first sermon, in which he expounded on Israel's recent history to remind the people of the things God had done for them and to set the context for the renewed covenant. The Hebrew word translated 'expound' means to make clear, distinct, or plain (1:5).

One thing Moses clarified for the Israelites was that this was their second chance. Forty years before, the nation had been on the verge of entering the Promised Land, until ten out of twelve spies brought a negative and fear filled report (see Num. 1314). Israel rebelled against God's instructions, and that generation failed to enter the land.
Another point that Moses stressed was the faithfulness of God. He built Israel into a great nation, just as He promised Abraham (1:10). He liberated them from Egypt. And despite their disobedience, He continued to guide them and to provide for all their needs (2:7). Taking care of them like a father, He disciplined them for their own good (1:29-31; Heb. 12:7-11).

More than just a formal treaty, this shows an intimate covenant relationship. One additional matter that Moses made clear was the sovereignty of God... He would win the victory. He had a plan, in which certain territories were off limits to Israel. If this new generation acknowledged His Lordship, and obeyed, they would reap the blessings their parents had forfeited.
Moses made them review what God had done for them... an excellent idea that we might care to do every now and then.
