'I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.' Abraham LincolnThe self-sufficient do not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.

Personal Story Of The Day
God Will See You ThroughA poor man in Ireland was plodding along toward home, carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon finally drew up alongside him on the road, and the driver invited the man to climb aboard. After getting on the wagon, he sat down but continued to hold the heavy bag.
When the driver suggested that the man set the bag down in the wagon, he replied, "I don't want to trouble you too much, sir. You are giving me a ride already, so I'll just carry the potatoes."
"How foolish of him!" we say. Yet sometimes we do the same thing when we attempt to bear the burdens of our lives in our own strength. No wonder we become weary and overwhelmed with anxiety and fear. In Psalm 55, David spoke of the anxiety he felt because his enemies were attacking him (v1-15). But then he gave his concerns to the Lord and was filled with renewed hope and confidence (v16-23). That's why he could write, "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee:" (v22).
When you recall the story of the man and his bag of potatoes, remember the simple lesson it illustrates: Rather than trying to bear your burdens by yourself... God is carrying you; he is also carrying your burdens, even if you won't put them down. No point both of us carrying the same load... set them down in God's hands.
Jokes Of The Day
Once upon a time, there was a blonde who had six young boys, all of whom she named 'Jimmy'. One day, her aunt asked, Why did you name all of these boys 'Jimmy'? The blonde said, so I can keep track of 'em. The aunt gave her a wild look. So you can keep track of 'em? How the heck can you do that when they're all named 'Jimmy'? The blonde looked at her aunt, shrugged and said, "No problem, I just call them by their last names!"************************************
Why don't blondes get coffee breaks?
It takes too long to re-train them.
************************************
What's the advantage of being married to a blonde?
You can park in a handicapped zone.

Riddle Of The Day
I reach for the sky, but clutch to the ground; sometimes I leave, but I am always around. What am I?Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
What is that you will break even when you name it?
Your silence.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Job Moves Towards The End Of His Suffering.
Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. Psalm 5:12. References from Job 27:1-23.
C. S. Lewis who authored the 'Chronicles Of Narnia' and converted to Christianity in 1929, writes, 'In grief, nothing stays put. One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs. Round and round. Everything repeats. Am I going in circles, or dare I hope I am on a spiral? But if a spiral, am I going up or down?' Today's verses conclude Job's interchange with his friends.
Throughout this debate, we have observed Job's journey. Silence, lament, questioning, denial, anger, anxiety, and the beginnings of hope. But this hasn't been a neat progression. We've seen Job begin to hope and then return to despair. We have seen him express both anger and fear in the same breath.
In short, we've seen a real person dealing with real pain. Job begins his final response to his friends by reaffirming his integrity and honesty. His friends have been cruel and unjust. They have falsely accused him of committing and concealing grave sin. In essence, they have told him that his situation is hopeless, because there appears to be no hope for the godless (v8-10).
In this final response, he once again acknowledges that unrepentant sinners suffer in this life or through their posterity (v13-23). It's probably just as well that Zophar doesn't say anything in this third round of speeches, because he's clearly the harshest of the three!
And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter. Ruth 2:2.
Sometimes we try to buy or win people's favour... and even God's favour. Ruth was also looking for favour... but not the kind you buy with money or flattery. She wanted to come by her favour honestly. She trusted God to bring her to someone's field who would accept her as she was. Even though she wasn't an Israelite, she hoped someone would allow her to glean what was left in the fields.
The favour she sought would be the result of the gleaner's grace, not Ruth's glory.
This is the kind of favour God offers. Nothing we possess or do can influence Him to look with favour on us. We cannot buy His favour or manipulate Him by our behaviour. His favour comes because He loves us, even while we are yet sinners (Rom 5:8). Through His Son, Jesus Christ, God has made it possible for our sins to be forgiven (Eph1:7).
God's favour is given because of who He is, not because of who we are.
However, once we become the sons and daughters of God... even more is offered (Heb 9:14).
