Thoughts For The Day

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.

Goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.

Motivation For The Day

Religion is man's quest for God; the Gospel is the Savior God seeking lost men.

Personal Story Of The Day

More Than Natural Needs

Those of us who enjoy telling a good story usually agonize inwardly when we have to explain it. Hopefully, at some point in the retelling of the story, a light will come on and the person will say, "Oh, now I get it!" Imagine how Jesus might have felt when His disciples still were not getting it. He said, "Be on your guard against the yeast (leaven) of the Pharisees and Sadducees" (v6). They thought, Did He say that because we didn't bring any bread? 

So, to those Jesus addressed as "You of little faith," He asked, "Do you still not understand?" (v9). Their focus was on the physical; His was on the spiritual. They thought of bread for the body; He thought of food for the soul. In the miracles of feeding the multitudes, Jesus had demonstrated His ability to meet their needs. They could trust Him to provide for them. Now, though, He wanted their attention to be on spiritual matters, not just physical. 

When you read, "Give us this day our daily bread," are you looking for just that which is physical, or are you asking for that which is food for the soul? 

Jokes Of The Day

Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house ransacked and burglarized. She telephoned the police at once and reported the crime. The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels, and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the blonde ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop and his dog, then sat down on the steps.

Putting her face in her hands, she moaned, "I come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the police for help, and what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman!"

************************************

A blonde had just totaled her car in a horrific accident. Miraculously, she managed to pry herself from the wreckage without a scratch and was applying fresh lipstick when the state trooper arrived. "My God!" the trooper gasped. "Your car looks like an accordion that was stomped on by an elephant. Are you OK ma'am?" "Yes, officer, I'm just fine" the blonde chirped." Well, how in the world did this happen?" the officer asked as he surveyed the wrecked car.

"Officer, it was the strangest thing!" the blonde began. "I was driving along this road when from out of nowhere this TREE pops up in front of me. So I swerved to the right, and there was another tree!

I swerved to the left and there was ANOTHER tree! I swerved to the right and there was another tree! I swerved to the left and there was ...."

"Uh, ma'am", the officer said, cutting her off, "There isn't a tree on this road for 30 miles. That was your air freshener swinging back and forth."
************************************

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!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


Providing Strength To Overcome

...and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22. References from Mark 9:1-13.

The Transfiguration as witnessed by Peter, James, and John was really more terrifying than exhilarating. It did not produce a spiritual high so much as a sense of fear and momentary confusion. Jesus' transfiguration served as a glorious alternative to His soon crucifixion. Luke's Gospel reveals that the purpose of the appearance of Elijah and Moses was to discuss the Saviour's impending death (Luke 9:31). 

It is interesting that these two men appeared in a vision to assist Jesus with the trauma of his torture and coming death. His command not to make the event public until after His death and resurrection was accomplished as no one tried to prevent what was a cruel necessity for the human race. Peter's suggestion that the disciples build three shelters or memorials was a natural action, probably triggered by the practice that originated with the Feast of Tabernacles. 

During this yearly celebration God's people built booths or lived in tents to commemorate Israel's wilderness experience. Peter wanted to respond to the presence of these heavenly visitors and the transformed Christ. Peter's uncertainty about how the disciples should respond to such an experience was only momentary. His suggestion was soon corrected by words from God's own mouth that served as both a testimony and a divine command... " This is my beloved Son: hear him' (v7). 

The moment did not call for the construction of a new tabernacle, but for faith and obedience. Jesus' disciples were given a vision of Christ's glory, but it was only a momentary glimpse. Their calling, like that of their Saviour, was a path to glory by way of commitment and suffering when needed... but God would always provide the strength to overcome.


The Eyes Permit It

I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? Job 31:1. 

Job also desired to live a chaste life. Even though he was a married man, he knew how easy it would be for a man of power and wealth to slip. And it all begins with a look. Perhaps at first it is nothing more than just a casual glance, but then comes a lingering stare. Before long the look becomes something more. Therefore, Job made a covenant with his eyes, where it all begins. 

He knew that if nothing was started, he wouldn't have to worry about where it would go. Christians need to remember that immorality and many other sins begin with the eyes. Where people look, how long they look and what they allow to be communicated through their eyes are all factors that can bring about a fall. What we allow to come in through the eye gate makes or breaks our Christian testimony. 

If we set up a roadblock at the source of our temptation, we can ensure that our testimony for the Lord will be best protected. Begin with the eyes. You can't help the first look, but you are definitely responsible for every look thereafter. Close that gate as soon as you can. Make a covenant with yourself and the Lord that you will not allow your eyes to be your downfall. Guard your eyes, and your thoughts will respond accordingly Thus, the rest of your behaviour will be easier to control. 

The mind can't take a picture if no one is smiling at the camera. Wrong looks lead to wrong behaviour.
