Scripture Of The Day
Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.Ecclesiastes 5:2
Read The Bible In a Year
1 Chronicles 25-27 ; John 9:1-23Thoughts For The Day
Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.What comes out of you when you are squeezed is what is inside you.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.

Personal Story Of The Day
Time To BlossomA friend down south has a gnarled, ancient plum tree in their backyard that has seen better days. Its bark is dark and creased with age, its limbs are sparse and spindly, and it leans about 45 degrees to the west. Two years ago he had to cut off some branches on one side and the tree lost its symmetry. He thought he had lost it for sure several winters ago when they had a period of very cold weather.
The gardener said he believed it was dead. Yet it came to life that spring and continues to do so every year. Each August/September that old tree shrugs off the winter and puts out blossoms... fragrant pink flowers that grow profusely and beautify his yard. That plum tree endures because it has roots that go deep into the soil. It draws its strength and nourishment from hidden subterranean sources.
And so it is with us. Our ability to endure... AND to flourish... is dependent on our being rooted in Christ and the power the Holy Spirit provides. No matter our age or circumstance, those who read His Word, reflect on it, and pray to be used (developing fruit of the Spirit), even into old age. (Galatians 5:22-23). As Psalm 92:14 says, "They shall be fresh and flourishing."
Jokes Of The Day
A Scout Master was teaching his boy scouts about survival in the desert."What are the three most important things you should bring with you in case you get lost in the desert?" he asked. Several hands went up, and many important things were suggested such as food, matches, etc.
Then one little boy in the back eagerly raised his hand. "Yes Timmy, what are the three most important things you would bring with you?" asked the Scout Master.
Timmy replied: "A compass, a canteen of water, and a deck of cards."
"Why's that Timmy?"
"Well," answered Timmy, "the compass is to find the right direction, the water is to prevent dehydration..."
"And what about the deck of cards?" asked the Scout Master impatiently.
"Well, Sir, as soon as you start playing Solitaire, someone is bound to come up behind you and say, "Put that red nine on top of that black ten!"

God is sitting in Heaven when a scientist says to Him, "Lord, we don't need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing. In other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning'."
"Oh, is that so? Tell me..." replies God.
"Well," says the scientist, "we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of You and breathe life into it, thus creating man."
"Well, that's interesting .. show Me."
So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil.
"No, no, no..." interrupts God, "Get your own dirt."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Heavenly Perspective
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Psalm 16:8. References from Psalm 16.
We should have a real sense of the excellency of God, and Jesus Christ, and of the work of salvation, and the ways and works of God revealed in the gospel. He that is spiritually enlightened truly comprehends and sees it, or has a sense of it. There is not only a rational belief that God is holy (above all things natural, including human intelligence, capacity, power and love), and that holiness is a good thing; but there is a sense of the power of God's holiness. In our verses today, the psalmist has this sense of God.
God was all the world to him: 'Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;' (v2; Ps. 73:25). This didn't mean that David wasn't thankful for his family, kingship, and other blessings. It simply meant that God Himself is incomparably greater than any of His gifts... that He was the all-sufficient, all-satisfying joy, truth and purpose of David's life. The king delighted to worship with other believers who thirsted after God in the same way (v3).
What had God done for David? He had given him wisdom and strength. The true Lord had given the king a cup of blessings and a generous portion of His goodness. The pictures of land and food communicate feelings of peace, prosperity, and safety, all grounded in a personal relationship with God. Only as a child of God would David have been able to speak of the goodly heritage from, and of, his heavenly Father(v6). Part of that inheritance was eternal life (v9-10; Acts 2:25-33).
Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: "I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God... Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one." Isaiah 44:6, 8.
Michel Lotito of Grenoble, France, is one of the most unusual individuals in the world, at least when it comes to his culinary tastes. Since 1959, at the age of nine, Mr. Lotito has daily dined on metal and glass. According to The Guinness Book of Records, he consumes two pounds of metal per day. So far he has eaten, among other things, ten bicycles, a supermarket cart, seven TV sets, six chandeliers, a low calorie Cessna light aircraft and a computer. Few have cared to match his record.
Michel Lotito is unusual, but God is more than unusual; He is unique. There are no others like Him. The God of all knowledge declares, "Is there a God besides me? Indeed there is no other rock; I know not one." No one is able even to come close to matching His deeds. Yet in spite of his uniqueness, this singular Person of the universe has declared His love for you and me.
He offers Himself as our rock, a place of safety and stability. He is the rock of our salvation (Psa 95:1), the rock of refuge (31:2), the rock of our strength (62:7) and the rock that is "higher than I" (61:2). He is the one and only Person able to meet all our needs.
Facts Of The Day
- Why is some hair curly and some hair straight? Hair is curly or straight, depending upon the number of disulfide bonds between hair proteins found in the hair shaft. The greater the number of links, the curlier the hair, and the fewer the number of links, the straighter the hair Hair is primarily composed of keratin, a protein, which grows from a sac called the follicle. Cells in the hair follicle generate keratin, and various other proteins, which become a part of the hair shaft. These proteins contain sulfur atoms, and when two of these sulfur atoms pair up and bond, they form a disulfide bond. If the two sulfur atoms in the same protein are at a distance, and join to form the disulfide bond, the protein will bend. The amount of humidity in the air not only makes for what some label a "bad hair day," but alters the degree of curliness or of straightness of hair. This occurs when high humidity forces water back into the hair fiber, acts on its protein structure, and forces the hair shaft to return to its original structure. People can temporarily alter their hair to force it into a straight state, or a curly state, but only on a temporary, not on a permanent, basis. When a straight-haired person gets a "permanent wave," known as a "perm," he or she is chemically forcing the making of strong disulfide bonds. The wave does not stay permanently, because new hair, which is straight, grows in as the "perm" grows out. People with curly hair may chemically alter their hair to give it a straighter appearance, but this, too, is also a temporary solution to a permanent "problem," with the same end result.
- What are teeth made of? Teeth have to be very hard to withstand all the chewing and crunching of food. The hard material of the tooth is composed of calcium, phosphorus, and other mineral salts. The material in the majority of the tooth is called dentine. The hard, shiny layer that you brush is called the enamel. Teeth have two basic parts, a root to anchor the tooth to the jaw and a crown above the gum line. The root is covered with a hard material called cementum. At the center of each tooth is an area with nerves, arteries and veins called the dental pulp. Humans have four different types of teeth, each with a different function: Our four different types of teeth together are called collective dentition and they allows humans to be omnivores (eating both meat and vegetables). Most animals have more specialized teeth. Carnivorous (meat eating) animals have long sharp tearing teeth (like our incisors and cuspids). Grazing animals, like cows and horses have large flat teeth (like our molars) for grinding grass and other vegetation.
