Hello to you today


Only 115 days to the year 2027

Scripture Of The Day

And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
2 John 1:6

Read The Bible In a Year

Proverbs 3-5 ; 2 Corinthians 1

Thoughts For The Day

Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.

Even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

Life is to be fortified by many friendships. To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness of existence.

Motivation For The Day

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Personal Story Of The Day

Simple Directions

After a woman sued a fast food restaurant for being burned by coffee, companies started changing their manuals and warning labels. Check out these instructions: 

*On a frozen dinner: DEFROST BEFORE EATING 
*On an iron: CAUTION! DO NOT IRON CLOTHES ON BODY 
*On a peanut butter jar: MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS 
*On a milk bottle top: AFTER OPENING, KEEP UPRIGHT 

If some people need these obvious guidelines on household items, think about how much more we need God's direction. Psalm 119 tells of the importance of His instruction manual... the Bible. In the pages of Scripture we find what God wants us to believe, to be, and to do.

* "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). 
* "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark16:15). 
Ask the Lord to teach you His statutes and to direct your steps according to His Word (Psalm 119:133,135). 

Then read it often and follow the instructions.

Jokes Of The Day

A man goes to the doctor. "Doc," he says pointing to different parts of his body, "when I touch my arm it hurts. When I touch my neck it hurts. And when I touch my stomach it hurts. Do I have some rare disease?"

"No," the doctor replied, "you have a broken finger."

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

Just as a surgeon was finishing up an operation and was about to close, the patient awakes, sits up, and demands to know what is going on. "I'm about to close," the surgeon says.

The patient grabs the surgeon's hand and says, "I'm not going to let you do that! I'll close my own incision!"

The doctor hands him the thread and says, "Suture self."

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

When Robinson stretched out on the psychiatrist's couch, he was clearly in a bad state. "Doctor," he pleaded, voice quavering and hands twitching, "you've got to help me. I really think I'm losing my mind. I have no memory of what happened to me a year ago, nor even of a few weeks back. I can't even recall yesterday with any clarity. I can't cope with daily life - in fact, I think I'm going insane."

"Keep calm, Mr. Robinson," soothed the shrink. "I'm sure I'll be able to help you. Now tell me, how long have you had this problem?"

Robinson looked up blankly. "What problem?"

Riddle Of The Day

You use it between your head and your toes, the more it works the thinner it grows. What is it?

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
What can bring back the dead; make us cry, make us laugh, make us young; born in an instant yet lasts a life time?
Memories.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


From Death To Life

Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. Hebrews 13:12.  References from Mark 15:16-47.

The popularity of Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ astounded the film industry. Many believed that there would be little interest in a movie where the characters spoke only Latin and Aramaic with English subtitles. Some predicted that the project would ruin Gibson's career. Once the film was finally released, the movie's graphic violence became the focus of even more controversy. Some claimed that the film's brutality provided a necessary antidote to the sanitized image most believers have of Christ's suffering. 

Many who saw The Passion of the Christ said that the film helped them to finally appreciate the full extent of all that Jesus experienced while on the cross. Yet even Gibson's graphic portrayal could not do justice to the full extent of suffering that Christ experienced on the cross. Certainly, He faced the brutality of Roman crucifixion. This practice was as much a means of torture as it was a form of execution. 

The Romans reserved crucifixion for slaves and those who were considered to be the lowest criminals. Its victims were suspended by their hands on a cross/stake that was driven into the ground. In most cases the stake was about the height of a man. The worst suffering that Christ endured was not the physical torment of the cross but the pain of separation from His Father. While hanging on the cross, Jesus endured the rejection of God on behalf of sinners. 

As the apostle Paul explains, 'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him'. (2Cor 5:21). In other words, during the crucifixion Jesus had to endure a double indignity. Not only did He experience the pain of separation from His Heavenly Father, He also endured the shame of being rejected by those he came to save. 

The religious leaders believed that Jesus was a heretic. The Romans executed Him as though He were a rebel. God the Father knew that He was none of these. Jesus was a perfect sacrifice for sin.


Guidance From Our Youth 

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth? Jeremiah 3:4. 

The life of Edgar Allen Poe is one of the most tragic of all Americas great writers. Raised by foster parents who loved him deeply, he was provided with an education that matched his genius. But then Poe lost his young bride through tuberculosis. By that time alcohol and drug abuse, along with involvement in the occult and Satanism, worked to destroy him. Depression and insanity plagued his short life, eventually leaving him unconscious in the gutter of a street in Baltimore. Four days later he died, never regaining consciousness. 

Poe began his life with money and brilliance, but in his latter years he became a ragged, penniless loser. Israel also started well. As a young nation, the Jews looked to God for guidance. But as the years passed and God blessed her with prosperity, she strayed from His instructions. Israel prostituted herself with other gods (Jer 3:2) and forgot her original commitment to the Lord. As a result, drought came upon the land... not simply as a punishment, but as God's way to get Israel to return to the guide of her youth. Only as she followed the One who had guided her in her younger years could Israel hope to be successful as a nation. 

Too often, those who grow up in the church, who attend Sunday school and youth group, who sit under the preaching of God's Word, forget the One who guided them in their youth. As they move out into the world, they often move away from the Lord, who led them through the difficult years of growing up. The consequences are frequently devastating. 

If you have lost confidence in God, return to Him today. He waits for you. Call out to Him as your Heavenly Father and reopen yourself to His guidance. Let His showers of blessings end the drought in your life. Let the Guide of your youth be the Guide of your life.

Closing Thought

I am thankful for the lawn that needs mowing, the windows that need washing, the gutters that need cleaning, because I have a home !
