1 Samuel 1-3; Luke 8:26-56.Thoughts For The Day
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.Even though I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
Those who encourage others appeal to love... those who judge others appeal to fear.

Personal Story Of The Day
God's Will Is FinalPerhaps you have heard of someone who didn't receive the inheritance intended by their parents because of a faulty will. In an article titled "Money & The Law," lawyer Jim Flynn says that if you want your estate to go to your chosen recipients instead of to members of the legal profession, you should avoid 'do it yourself wills'.
Such documents are usually legal but they are often unclear and fail to make provisions for unforeseen situations. Flynn advises having a formal will to be sure your wishes are carried out.
Man-made wills can fail, but there is no ambiguous language about the inheritance God has in store for us. The apostle Peter affirmed that God "has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you" (1Peter 1:3-4).
No fluctuation in the economy can reduce this inheritance. It is not subject to review by the courts nor to debate by squabbling families. No amount of suffering or trials can diminish or change what God has in store for us.
Our inheritance is certain and eternal (Hebrews 9:15). And as we live for His purposes, we are assured that His will for our lives today is "good and acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:2). I have observed that few wish to build a successful relationship with Christ through the anointing of the Spirit and the success of continuous overcoming, but all will wish they had (with bitter sadness and envy) when the Lord returns.
There will be no challenges against God's will!

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Good Old Days.
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me; Job 29:2. References from Job 29:1-25.
In her song, Those Were the Days, Mary Hopkins captures well that nostalgic longing for the good old days: 'Those were the days, my friend / We thought they'd never end / We'd sing and dance forever and a day'. There is a tendency to look back on good times longingly, perhaps remembering them better than they actually were.
In Job's case, however, we find honest reflection on truly better days. After the hymn to wisdom, Job begins an extended monologue (Job 29-31) that looks at his past and his present and offers a public testimony to his integrity and innocence.
We will spend a day on each of these chapters, beginning with Job's look at the past. We are immediately drawn into his pain in the opening verses. There are three things for which he longs, probably in order of importance: his fellowship with God, the love of his children, and respect from others in his community. Job recalls the high esteem in which he was held (v10-11).
He was blessed and tried to be a blessing to others. This directly contrasts Eliphaz's false claims that Job had neglected the poor (Job 22:69;). Perhaps this is why Job gives so many examples of his care for the oppressed (v12-17).
In addition to vindicating Job's character, this list gives us great insight into the high moral standards of Job's day. Its important to notice that much of his focus is on proactive conduct. In other words, Job was not only concerned to avoid evil, but he also took the initiative to do what was right regarding others. To use New Testament language, we could say that Job was willing to go the extra mile (Matt 5:41).
And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house. Ruth 2:7.
There's a thoughtful story about a king, many years ago, who called his wise men together and gave them this commission: "I want you to compile for me the wisdom of the ages and put it in book form so we can leave it to posterity." The men left the king and worked hard. Sometime later they returned with 12 volumes. The king looked at the imposing volumes and said, "It's too long and I fear people will not read it. Condense it!"
Still later the wise men returned with only one volume. Again the king said, "Condense it." They then reduced the volume to a chapter, then to a page, then to a paragraph and finally to a sentence.
When the king saw the sentence, elatedly he announced. "Gentlemen, this is truly the wisdom of the ages." The sentence simply said, "There are no free lunches." Ruth recognised the same hard-learned truth as well. She did not wait for someone to come along with a handout; instead, she worked from "morning until now." She was diligent in her labours and made a very favourable impression on the other harvesters. God expects those who bear the name of Christ to testify of Him through their work.
Paul taught that "if anyone will not work, neither shall he eat" (2 Thess 3:10). He also reminded the Christians at Thessalonica, "Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:" (v8).
A slacker is not only a disgrace to himself, but he brings shame upon the Lord as well. Consider your job as a blessing, not a burden. No matter how menial it might seem, see your work as an outlet to honour the Lord. Approach it every day with enthusiasm and dedication. After all, even the ability to work for a living is a gift from God (Eccl 5:18-19).
