Personal Story Of The Day
Happy ForeverThe following words were inscribed on a gravestone: "Don't weep for me now, don't weep for me ever; for I'm going to do nothing forever and ever."
Some people think heaven will be a boring place. Others, after years of exhausting work, look forward to doing nothing in heaven... the ultimate retirement! It's true that in heaven we will rest from earthly labours (Revelation 14:13), but it's not a place of inactivity.
When John saw a vision of the New Jerusalem with the throne of God and the Lamb, and populated with God's redeemed people, he stated plainly, "His servants shall serve Him" (22:3). If we overcome, we will be raised up with resurrection power to serve Him in heaven.
Never again will we serve Him half-heartedly and sporadically as we often do now. Instead, we will serve enthusiastically and continually (7:15). In unimaginable ways, we will be involved creatively with God without the agonies of decline and death (21:4). We will happily spend eternity basking in God's redeeming love and exploring endless pleasures at His right hand (Psalm 16:11).
Heaven certainly isn't a boring place with nothing to do... it's a place where we'll see Christ's face and joyfully serve Him forever!
Jokes Of The Day
A blonde and a brunette are skydiving.The brunette jumps out the plane and pulls the cord -- nothing happens.
She pulls the emergency cord and still nothing.
The blonde finally jumps out of the plane and yells "Oh! So you wanna race, huh?"
************************************
Two blondes were driving along a road by a wheat field when they saw a blonde in the middle of the field rowing a row boat.
The driver blonde turned to her friend and said "You know - it's blondes like that that give us a bad name!"
To this, the other blonde replies "I know it, and if I knew how to swim, I'd go out there and drown her."
************************************
Two eminently successful psychoanalysts occupied offices in the same building. One was forty years old, the other was over seventy. They rode on the elevator together at the end of an unbearably hot, sticky day. The younger man was completely done in, and he noted with some resentment that his senior was fresh as a daisy. "I don't understand", he marveled, "how can you listen to drooling patients from morning till night on a day like this and still look so spry and unbothered when it's over?"
The older analyst said simply, "Who listens?"
~~
Stranger: Good morning, Doctor. I just dropped in to tell you how much I benefited from your treatment.
Doctor: But you're not one of my patients.
Stranger: I know. But my Uncle Bill was, and I'm his heir.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Not The Action That Was Needed
Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? Job 16:3 References from Job 18:1-21.
It goes without saying that nobody likes a temper tantrum. Crying, yelling, and flailing of arms and legs... this is no time for rational discussion! People often claim that temper tantrums are a toddler's attempt to get attention, but some experts claim that children have tantrums when they hit a point of intense frustration. They may be trying to do something as simple as tying their shoes or as normal as asserting their independence. Whatever the cause, a temper tantrum is not a pleasant experience.
Unfortunately, Job's friend, Bildad, would like to dismiss Job's recent behaviour as a series of adult temper tantrums. According to Bildad, Job thinks that if he gets angry enough, he can change the laws of creation, such as the placement of rocks (v4). He exhorts Job to stop his foolish outbursts and to be sensible. As we noted before, Bildad is a traditionalist.
In his second speech (today's verses), he returns to the same logic he previously used, namely that the fate of the wicked has been clearly spelled out. Although he does not appeal to the ancients in this speech, he repeats many of the points that he made the first time, based on the wisdom of the ancients.
His speech reads like a series of well-worn proverbs. Each point that Bildad makes has some correspondence with the events of Job 1 and 2, so it's clear that Bildad sees Job as the wicked man of these proverbial statements. His current charge to Job, 'Be sensible, and then we can talk', sounds good at first. But being sensible for Bildad means agreeing that the root of Job's problem is sin and the solution is repentance.
So Bildad reminds Job... one more time... of the horrors that await those who refuse to repent and who do not know God (v21).
God's Loving Kindness
And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. Ruth 1:8.
The great American novelist Henry James, in saying good bye to his nephew, Willie, said something the boy never forgot. As they parted, he put his hand on the young man's shoulders and remarked, "Willie, there are three things that are important in human life.
The first is to be kind.
The second is to be kind.
The third is to be kind."
Naomi's daughters in law, Orpah and Ruth, apparently had learned that lesson well.
As she prepared to part from them, Naomi praised them both for their kindness. They had been kind to her sons, their husbands. And even after they were widowed and no longer had family obligations to their mother-in-law, they continued to show kindness to her. In the midst of a pagan land that practiced a cruel form of worship... even sacrificing little children...
God had so moved on the hearts of these two women that their spirit of kindness set them apart from their fellow Moabites. Kindness should be one of the distinguishing marks of a Christian as well.
Kind words seem to do what, in reality, God alone can do... soften the hard and angry hearts of men. No one was ever corrected by a sarcasm... crushed, perhaps, if the sarcasm was clever enough, but drawn nearer to God, never. We must never forget that more people have been won to the church through kindness than fiery sermons or skilled arguments.
Do you know someone who has a special need that you can meet? Unearned kindness from others, is perhaps the rarest form of love shown on the earth today... it also has the most impact.
