Isaiah 20-22 ; Ephesians 6Thoughts For The Day
Ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
We go where our vision is.

Personal Story Of The Day
Drawing Them In.
Advertisers are after our young people. They are increasingly targeting their messages to children. Because of the strong influence they have on the purchasing habits of their parents, and because they have an increasing buying power of their own, millions of dollars are being spent to get their attention. People in the advertising business are convinced that a young, satisfied consumer could become a lifelong customer... eager to buy their products far into the future.
In a similar way, we need to be influencing our young people to "buy into" the good things God has in store for them throughout all of life. According to Proverbs 3, some fantastic possibilities lie ahead for the young person who chooses God's way: long life and peace (v2), favour in the sight of God and man (v4), direction from God (v6), health and strength (v8), abundance (v10), happiness (v13). The person who trusts, honours, and fears the Lord finds wisdom... an incomparable prize (v15).
The world spends millions convincing our children that they can't be happy without a certain kind of shoe. How much more we have to offer them by showing them that happiness comes by walking with God!

Jokes Of The Day
The couple was delighted when their long wait to adopt a baby came to an end. The adoption center called and told them that there was a wonderful Russian baby boy available. The couple accepted him without hesitation.On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local college so they each could enroll in night courses.
After they filled out the forms, the registration clerk inquired, "What ever possessed you to study Russian?"
The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a Russian baby. In a year or so, when he begins to talk, we want to be able to understand him."

A man dies and finds himself standing third in line at the Pearly Gates.
The Angel explains that admission requirements are now a bit more strict, as a few slum landlords and con artists have managed to slip into Heaven without being detected.
He queries the first candidate:"What was your annual salary, and what was your profession? "I made $150,000 as an Attorney" comes the reply. "You may enter" says the Angel.
Second candidate, same question. "I made $95,000, I was a realtor." He is also permitted to enter. Now it is the third man's turn.
"My annual salary was $8,000." "Cool!" replies the Angel, "and what instrument did you play?"

An Irishman, a Mexican and a blond guy were doing construction work on scaffolding on the 20th floor of a building. They were eating lunch and the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage! If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch I'm going to jump off this building."
The Mexican opened his lunch box and exclaimed, "Burritos again! If I get burritos one more time I'm going to jump off, too."
The blond guy opened his lunch and said, "Bologna again. If I get bologna sandwiches one more time I'm jumping too."
The next day the Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death. The Mexican opens his lunch, sees burritos and jumps, too. The blond opens his lunch, sees the bologna sandwich and jumps to his death as well.
At the funeral the Irishman's wife is weeping. She says, "If I'd known how really tired he was of corned beef and cabbage I never would have given it to him again! The Mexican's wife also weeps and says, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas! I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the blonde's wife. "Hey, don't look at me," she said. "He makes his own lunch!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Past Failings Also Serve As Future Motivation
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. from Deuteronomy 9:1-10:11.
Failure is often a catalyst for spiritual growth. If everything is coming your way, you are probably in the wrong lane. Adversity and defeat are more conducive to spiritual growth than prosperity and victory. But what if the defeat we experience involves more than a setback in our circumstances? What if we have experienced defeat because of our own sin?
As Israel prepared to take possession of the land God had promised them, it was vital that they keep in mind their defeats as well as their victories. The Lord commanded, 'Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD'. (Deut 9:7). A healthy awareness of their past failures was intended to be a remedy against spiritual presumption. More importantly, it would bring to mind how God had been faithful to discipline and forgive them.
The Bible is filled with stories of people whose mistakes and failures were redeemed by God. Some, like Jacob the deceiver, Judah the father of an illegitimate child, David the adulterer, and Rahab the prostitute... even appear in the lineage of Jesus (Matt 1:25). Peter denied Jesus three times, and Thomas questioned whether Jesus had truly risen from the dead. Paul persecuted the church. All of these were used by God despite their past failings.
At the same time, we should not conclude from this that God's redeeming love will always shield us from or even reverse all the consequences of our sins. Because they refused to obey God, Israel experienced hardship for forty years and an entire generation perished in the wilderness. Jacob spent many years alienated from his family, and the actions of both Judah and David were the cause of considerable personal pain for others. Yet God can redeem even this. In Romans 6:21 the apostle Paul points to the consequences of sin as a motivation to obey God in the future: What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.

A Little Dab Will Do You?
But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul. Joshua 22:5.
To the older generation... How many times did you hear 'a little dab will do you', when you were a child? Toothpaste or hair cream was a great example. You began to pump it from the jar, or squeeze the tube, only to hear, 'a little dab will do you, it goes a long way'. Usually that was right! Still, it's hard now, as an adult, not to get more lotion on my hands than I need. Guess that stems from my childhood days. Then, there was the butter; I'm a butter lover! But, I could only have as much as my mother thought I needed. After all, we weren't rich; the butter had to last until the next time we bought groceries. What does a child know? They just want what they want, when they want it, period! I have grandchildren that don't understand that you don't waste, and you only put on your plate what you can eat.
There are people who think the same way about spiritual things. They get just a dab of what it means to be a Christian and think that's all they need to get them through. But this is so untrue. We are to be 'new creatures' [ 2Cor 5:17 ] in Him, and should want to be close to Him, learn all we can, in order to live a righteous life. God doesn't want just a part of us; He wants ALL of us. We should want ALL of HIM as well.
A little dab of butter may be okay for your bread, but, for a soul to be free and at peace, you need more than a dab of spirituality... you need God in every aspect of your life. You may be doing fairly well, with a little dab, but you will never excel, unless you give your whole life to God. Having only a dab is like taking only ONE bite from an apple. Your body yearns for more, but you refrain from eating the rest of the apple. For the apple to do you much good, you need to eat it all. It's that way with God; for Him to be completely effective in your daily life, you need ALL of Him.
Facts Of The Day
- Lightning kills more people in the US than any other natural disaster: an average of 400 dead and 1,000 injured yearly.
- Lenses were named during the 13th century for their vague resemblance in shape to lentils ‹ from the Italian word lenticchie for "lentils," which was later changed to the Italian lente for "lens." For more than 300 years, lenses were called "glass lentils."
