When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.
A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one.

Personal Story Of The Day
Just As God Wants
Imagine you've ordered your favourite pepperoni and pineapple pizza. The delivery person arrives at your house and greets you with the words, Here 's your anchovy pizza! But I didn't order anchovy. I ordered pepperoni, you would protest. Yes, but anchovy is my favorite kind, he replies. Would this be acceptable? Of course not. While this situation may never happen in the world of pizza, it happens too often in our church lives.
We may want God to accept any and all forms of worship, expecting Him to let us approach Him as we want, but He does not. Some of our ideas about God, how we perceive Him to be, and our approaches to worship... based on our wishes, not His will... are not acceptable. Just as we would not accept any and all pizza when we ordered pepperoni, so God does not accept any and all worship.
Some is acceptable and some is not. In an anything goes world that has given some people the idea that anything goes in worship as well, it is important for us to understand that when it comes to worship, anything doesn't go.
Understanding what is and is not acceptable to God will bring us to a decision point. Either we seek in our worship to please Him or to please ourselves. Thus, when it comes down to doing what we want because it is what we want, we are no longer worshiping God but serving self, satisfying self, putting what we desire above what God requires.
Jokes Of The Day
A young woman brings home her fiance to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father to find out about the young man. The father invites the fiancee to his study for a coffee. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man. "I am a Bible scholar," he replies. "A Bible scholar. Hmmm," the father says. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she's accustomed to?""I will study," the young man replies, "and God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father. "I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies, "God will provide for us."
"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiance.
The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insists that God will provide. Later, the mother asks, "How did it go, Honey?" The father answers, "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Proverbs 3:21-22. References from Genesis 42-43.
The Great Library of Alexandria was one of the wonders of the ancient world. Established about 295b.c., it collected the leading books of antiquity, including Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Buddhist texts, and the first translations of Scripture... an estimated 700,000 scrolls in all. Now Egypt is building on this great tradition with a new Bibliotheca Alexandrina near the site of the original. It has the same purposes, too... a focal point for research, the advancement of knowledge, and the open exchange of ideas.
The historical and cultural learning and achievements of Egypt are indeed impressive. But in the story of Joseph, God used a former slave from Canaan to make plans to save the country. Through faith and discernment, Joseph... once a slave and prisoner... jumped from prison to a key position in Pharaoh's court. Through faith and discernment, Joseph saved many people from starvation during the years of famine, including his own family.
The severity of the famine forced Jacob to send his sons to Egypt, where they had heard there was grain. When they had their audience with the official in charge of food distribution, they failed to recognize Joseph... after all, he had grown into a man during the intervening years, was dressed in Egyptian clothing, and spoke Egyptian. Plus, the last time they saw him he was a slave in a Midianite caravan, so an Egyptian palace was the last place they expected to find him!
Joseph recognized them, though, and decided to test them. By accusing them of spying on the first visit, and showing favouritism to Benjamin during the second, he aimed to find out how his family was doing and whether his brothers' hearts had changed at all. Joseph discovered that his father still grieved his loss and that his brothers still felt guilt over their past actions (42:21).
Their guilt led them to make solemn pledges to Jacob about Benjamin's safety when they returned with him the second time. As for Jacob, he seemed resigned to his fate and made no mention of trusting the Lord. Little did they know that forgiveness and reunion were just around the corner!
Mercy Is Better Than Judgment
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. Genesis 45:7. References from Genesis 44-45.
Joseph chose to forgive his brothers' sin of selling him into slavery and telling their father he was dead. As the second most powerful man in Egypt, he could have had them executed or imprisoned. But he knew God had directed his every step, and this knowledge helped him overcome his natural feelings. In today's verses, we enjoy the climax of a suspenseful story.
Joseph planted a silver cup in his brother Benjamin's grain sack, then made a false accusation to see what his other brothers would do. Had they changed? Yes. Judah told the whole story to try and gain Joseph's sympathy, and he offered to make good on his vow to take Benjamin's place.
These were not the same men who had jumped on the chance to sell Joseph into slavery more than twenty years before. In response, Joseph finally revealed his identity in one of the most gripping, emotional scenes in biblical narrative. His brothers were terrified by the unexpectedness, the switch in languages, the sudden presence of their long-lost brother, their frailty, and their deep feelings of guilt.
Joseph, however, did not seek revenge; instead he provided for his family's needs, inviting them to come and live in the best part of Egypt. More significantly, he comforted and forgave his brothers, assuring them that God sent me ahead of you and that it had been His saving plan governing Joseph's life all along (45:7-8).
