Personal Story Of The Day
The Second Edition Is Much Better
The power of sin becomes our law, because it shows us our sin and condemns us. We are guilty and sentenced to death. Yet there is complete victory over death and sin through Christ. It is not that death is destroyed so that it cannot continue to harm God's people. Its effects are reversed so that death is defeated and we will live forever in a victorious state.
The hope of the Christian is well expressed by the epitaph Benjamin Franklin wrote for himself: "The body of Franklin, printer, like the cover of an old book, its contents torn out and stripped of its lettering and gilding, lies here food for worms. But the work will not be lost, for it will appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the Author."
Jokes Of The Day
"If your eyes hurt after you drink coffee in the morning, you need to take the spoon out of the cup."************************************
An angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the dean that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty.
Without hesitating, the dean selects infinite wisdom.
"Done!" says the angel, and disappears in a cloud of smoke and a bolt of lightning.
Now, all heads turn toward the dean, who sits surrounded by a faint halo of light.
One of his colleagues whispers, "Say something."
The dean sighs and says, "I should have taken the money."
************************************
A salesman was going door to door trying to sell his wears. As he walked up to the next house, he noticed a small boy sitting on the front steps.
"Is your mother home?" the salesman asked the small boy.
"Yeah, she's home," the boy said, scooting over to let him past.
The salesman rang the doorbell, got no response, knocked once, then again. Still no one came to the door. Turning to the boy, the fellow said, "I thought you said your mother was home!?"
The kid replied, "She is; but this isn't where I live."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Future Hope
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Luke 2:32. References from Isaiah 49:1-23.
Researchers have noted that rates of depression and anxiety are higher during the winter and in areas of the country that receive less sunlight, but they didn't know whether this was a correlation or if the lack of sunlight was the cause. Even if there was a connection, there didn't seem to be much remedy other than moving to a sunnier location. Now 'Seasonal Affective Disorder', the depression some people experience from a lack of light, has been recognized, and sufferers are able to get sunlamps that imitate sunlight and reduce their symptoms.
Just as sunlight is necessary for our physical and emotional health, the Bible uses light as a metaphor for salvation, indicating that God's light is essential for spiritual life. As we've seen in our study, God's intention for choosing Israel was that it might be a blessing to other nations. Yesterday we saw that God was faithful to meet the needs of Gentiles even when the nation was in great crisis and rebellion. We also know that eventually this sin would lead to the nation's exile.
Elijah was one of the early prophets whom God raised up to warn the people to repent and to display the power of the living God when the people were worshiping lifeless idols. But God also used the prophets to articulate His promises of restoration and future hope. In Isaiah 40-66, we find a series of powerful prophecies, that refer to the Servant of the Lord. In Isaiah 49, we learn that this Servant will restore Israel to the Lord. For a nation facing exile, this was certainly comforting to hear.
God's plans for the Servant extended to the ends of the earth: I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth (v6). Indeed, the work of this Servant will be so great that kings will bow before Him.
The Power Of Regular Prayer
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: "Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon." So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. Joshua 10:12-13.
Have you ever wondered how a bird can sleep on its perch and never fall off? The secret is the tendons of the bird's legs. They are constructed in such a way that when the leg is bent at the knee, the claws contract and grip like a steel trap. The claws refuse to let go until the knees are unbent again. It was the bent knee that gave Joshua his power as well.
As the Israelites were pursuing their enemy the Amorites, they were running out of daylight. It was a critical time because, even though the battle had been won, the war was not complete. In the sight of all Israel, Joshua stopped and called upon the Lord, and the sun stood still in the midst of the sky. Joshua 10:14 declares, that there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded the voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel. That's the power of the bent knee! If you want power with God, you need to practice bending your knees.
While every prayer will not stop the sun, every prayer that reflects God's will, can win your battle. Prayer is God's chosen instrument to release His power in our daily life. Determine today to practice the power of prayer. Set aside regular time to metaphorically bend the knee and seek the Lord. Discover for yourself the life changing effects that can be brought about through prayer. When you need to hang on tight, bend your knees... the power of the spirit will do the rest.

- Elephants are the only mammals to have four knees.
- Of all the water in the world, only 2% is fresh water?
