God's promises are like the stars; the darker the night the brighter they shine.A friend is one who sees through you and still enjoys the view.

Personal Story Of The Day
Ongoing WorshipBoiled down to its essential core, worship is a response. It is not an entertainment option we choose, or an event we attend, but the essence of our lives as followers of Jesus Christ. Christ's life-giving Spirit comes into our lives, and we live out the remainder of our days in response to His purposes. The last thing Jesus did before returning to heaven was bless the disciples.
Luke says that "while he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven" (v51). The blessing was the last thing. The first thing the disciples then did was worship Him.
That is the way we should live. Worship should be preeminent in our lives. This does not mean we must sit in a pew singing and praying, listening to preaching all day. It does mean that we live with an awareness of God, that we show how much we value Him in everything we say and do.
For example, we are careful with our words because He tells us to be. When we do that, it is an act of worship, because we are seeking to please Him. We are honest in our business dealings in the same way, for the same reason. And of course, there are the times we devote solely to worship, singing His praises, fellowship, etc.
The last thing Jesus did on earth was bless the disciples, and the first thing they did was worship Him. Like the disciples, put worship first.

"No," says the psychic, "in biology class."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Road to Fruitfulness
And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son. Ruth 4:12-13.
Fruitfulness doesn't just happen by chance. Ruth discovered the same truth. Her life in Moab had been empty. The years of marriage with Naomi's son had been barren. But when she committed herself to the God of Israel, her life began to bear fruit. By faith she left her homeland and God gave her a new home. In simple trust she went out to the harvest fields, hoping to find someone who would allow her to glean after his reapers, and she found favour in the eyes of Boaz.
Seeking to follow God's leading, she married Boaz and bore a son through whom the Messiah came to redeem the world. From a life of barrenness, God brought her, through faith, to great fruitfulness.
Faithfully trusting the Lord is still the only pathway to true fruitfulness. Jesus promised, "He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit." The world offers other options, but none result in lasting fruit. Only as we call upon the Spirit of Christ for daily guidance will we bear fruit for eternity.
Begin each day by praying and reading God's Word. As He reveals His mind to you, faithfully obey everything you understand and ask for more wisdom when you don't. That's the way to bear fruit that will last forever.
Out Of The Bottle.
There are many fictional stories of people finding old oil lamps and cleaning them and suddenly a genie pops out and grants them three wishes for their effort. The genie has the power to do whatever they want. It is easy to see the appeal of such a situation and the stimulation it would bring to our imagination.
Many people would wish for instant gratification of something they feel they need, and before long all their wishes are used up, and things would go back to normal with not much to show for it. You can read all about it in 'A thousand and one nights'.
This story contains a few similarities to God and his dealing with men. However, God has a far better way of improving our lives and meeting our needs.
Firstly, God offers eternal life; most of which is not in this natural body but in a new non-corruptible spiritual one... soon to come.
Secondly, God offers us direct spiritual communication with him that is unlimited. A language of prayer and blessing... it's called tongues in the New Testament and is part of the original and ongoing promise offered as a sign of salvation.
Thirdly, When Jesus Christ returns, we are offered access to unlimited blessing, full access to all of God's 'assets', and to be in his company of eternally pleasant friends forever.
If you want true value, go to the source of power... we don't need to settle for fables. It is our spiritual task to be the real genie in people's lives and make the same offer we have received. Repent, be baptised in water and receive the power of the Holy Spirit... with the evidence of seeking in tongues. Go and offer some of God's 'magic' to someone today!
