Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 34-36 ; Hebrews 2Thoughts For The Day
Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him; and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him and show your distrust.
" Everyone complains of his memory, no one of his judgment. "

Personal Story Of The Day
Inconvenient OpportunitiesA suicidal woman stood on a bridge in Seattle for 3 hours ready to jump. The situation created such a colossal traffic jam that some motorists, caught in the delay, began to curse the woman and screamed at her to jump. She did... and she survived the 160-foot fall into a canal.
Many residents later sent flowers and cards to her in the hospital, apologizing for what had happened. But some of the angry drivers phoned the local newspaper and blamed the woman for not choosing a less travelled place to end her life.
People with urgent needs seldom cross our lives at convenient times. Each situation demands immediate attention, often upsetting our preferred plans. Jesus was always mobbed by needy people as He walked from place to place, and we can learn from His response to them. When Jairus begged Him to come and heal his daughter, Jesus went with him (Mark 5:22-24). On the way, when a woman interrupted the procession, Jesus stopped and took the time to speak with and heal her (Mark 5:25-34).
Are we willing to reach out or to help out someone in need today? Like our Lord, do we have the compassion to bring help and healing to people who feel hopeless... when it is required? Let us remember, that many of the people we meet or come across in our daily travels... don't know that their Spirit needs saving. They are critically and terminally ill and need urgent attention.

The Queen was showing the Archbishop around the Royal Stables when a stallion passed gas very loudly."Oh dear," said the Queen, "I'm sorry about that."

************************************
Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching his breath, "You scared us half to death -- we thought you were a ghost! What are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"
************************************
A young lady came home very sad from a date. She told her mother, "Anthony proposed to me an hour ago." "Then why are you so sad?" her mother asked. "Because he also told me he is an atheist. Mom, he doesn't even believe there's a Hell."
Her mother replied, "Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Your Closest FriendWhen some 'Christians' hear the word 'spirit', they think primarily in terms of power. But when the Bible speaks of the Holy Spirit, it reveals that He is a Person. When we are born again, we do not merely receive power to live the Christian life, we are indwelt by a divine Person... the Holy Spirit. This is the unique privilege of all those who trust in Christ. This blessing was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel.
The material blessings upon the land predicted in the earlier verses of Joel 2, only foreshadowed a much greater blessing that was to come afterward (v28). Joel's further revelations signal a general shift in focus. The coming outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the rest of the events he will discuss in the remainder of his book, relate to a time later in the future than the events predicted in the earlier half of the book.
Although the Holy Spirit had been active in Joel's day, the prophet foretold that in the age to come God's ministry would be characterized by three important features.
First, Joel promised that the Spirit would be inclusive to all. Previously, the Holy Spirit had worked through specific individuals. In the coming age He would be poured out on all people (v28). Joel speaks of the Spirit being poured out on sons and daughters, as well as on old men and young men. All the people of God, regardless of age or gender, are discussed.
Second, Joel predicted that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit would bring with it revelatory activity in the form of visions and prophesy... many being referenced in the New Testament. There would also be wonders in the heavens and on earth (vv. 28, 30-31).
Second, Joel predicted that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit would bring with it revelatory activity in the form of visions and prophesy... many being referenced in the New Testament. There would also be wonders in the heavens and on earth (vv. 28, 30-31).
Third, this outpouring was to precede the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD (v31). The apostle Paul speaks of the Holy Spirit as the blessing given to everyone who is in Christ (Rom. 8:9). He also spoke of the need to be filled with the Spirit (Eph 5:18). This is not a contradiction. Once we know that the Holy Spirit lives within us, we need to depend upon His power daily to live a life that brings blessing and glory to God, through Christ. Use the power of the Spirit... it was given for a purpose.
The Gift of Tongues
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4.
This is the gift mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12:10, and there is often a great deal of controversy concerning it. Confusion and ignorance usually surround this wonderful gift. But that is true of the cross, as well. This gift offers nothing to self-righteous people who seek the approval of others or need to be lifted up by others. This gift is like a narrow gate that presses the flesh. But through this gate is the path to fullness in the spiritual life.

Paul praised God more than everyone else, that he had the capacity to speak in tongues. 'I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all' (verse 18). He understood the value of the gift and also the vast difference it made to his life.
People have often sought to present Paul as a boring academic theologian. Yes, he was a theologian but a spirit-filled, vital one whose workplace was amongst the people, not only the library. And he also spoke in tongues, like every member of the New Testament church. This is a gift for every believer today. It is not only for a chosen few or for those who are especially holy.

In Corinth people were far from holy. A multitude of problems existed, but the gifts of the Spirit still operated... although some understanding needed to be introduced.
On the day of Pentecost, everyone became filled with the Holy Spirit, and everyone, including Mary, began to speak in new tongues. Speaking in tongues edifies the inner man. Speaking in tongues builds up faith. It is a wonderful way to praise and worship the Lord, and it goes beyond the limitations of understanding. Speaking in tongues can proceed to interpretation or prophecy.

It can be a language of humans or the language of angels. It can change and develop and vary from occasion to occasion. It is a powerful tool of intercession concerning both the known and unknown needs of people. And it is a river of spiritual life, flowing through you.
