Personal Story Of The Day
Opportunity Knocks.
The parable of the talents is about spiritual opportunities either seized or lost. If a 'talent' is understood as it is used in today's terminology, one thinks of skills or abilities. This train of thought can lead to identifying talents as spiritual gifts. However, the amount given was "according to his ability". That establishes that spiritual gifts are something different than a person's capabilities.
The gifts are God's powers and are meant to be used... but according to the persons internal ability.
Some look to a literal rendering of the word and think in monetary terms (in Jesus' day, a talent was a significant sum). Another view is that they represent opportunities. As the master leaves, he gives a portion of his goods to these servants. They now have the opportunity to increase his holdings.
Two of the servants do well with what is entrusted to their care. Their rewards, given for their faithfulness, are the same. One servant does not do well and is not rewarded- not attempting to use or develop his blessings.
The challenge of the parable is very plain. Jesus, the master, is gone and will one day return. It is our responsibility to support and advance his kingdom. The challenge of the parable is also very personal. Each servant is judged individually.
Are you a good steward of the opportunities you have to serve Jesus?
Jokes Of The Day
Bob stood over his tee sot for what seemed an eternity. He waggled, looked up, looked down, waggled again, but didn't start his backswing. Finally his exasperated partner asked, "what the hell is taking so long?" "My wife is up there watching me from the clubhouse," Bob explained. "I want to make a perfect shot." "Good lord!" his companion exlaimed. "You don't have a snowball's chance in hell of hitting her from here."************************************
An 8-year-old girl went to her dad, who was working in the yard. She asked him, "Daddy, what is sex?" The father was surprised that she would ask such a question, but decides that if she is old enough to ask the question, then she is old enough to get a straight answer. He proceeded to tell her all about the "birds and the bees." When he finished explaining, the little girl was looking at him with her mouth hanging open. The father asked her, "Why did you ask this question?" The little girl replied, "Mom told me to tell you that dinner would be ready in just a couple of secs."
************************************
A rabbi, a priest and a pastor were all in a boat together fishing. The pastor said to the others, "I think I am going to go over to that shore and sit down." So, he gets out of the boat, walks across the water and sits down on the shore. Then, the priest says to the rabbi, "I think I going to go over there to join him." So, he does the same as the pastor and sits next to him on the shore. The rabbi thinks to himself, "Well, if they can do it, so can I!" So, he climbs out of the boat, but he falls in the water. The pastor says to the priest, "Do you think we should of told him where the rocks were?"

Riddle Of The Day

64. The space that comes after the 64th spoke, would be just before the first spoke.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
...for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. Joshua 2:11. References from Joshua 2:1-24.
General Douglas MacArthur was familiar with war, but he knew that the most intense battles were waged internally in the hearts of men. He said, 'The world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave'. It's the age old struggle, the roar of the crowd on one side and the voice of your conscience on the other. In the book of Joshua, we get the sense that the outcome of the battle was already written on the hearts of the participants.
The Israelites knew the Lord was with them, and they were confident of victory. But the enemy nations had also heard of the might of the Lord and His commitment to the Israelites, and they were overcome with fear (v11).
The people of Canaan weren't without knowledge (v10). The identity of God wasn't unknown to them. They knew much of what the Israelites knew, they just reacted differently to the information. But Rahab serves as a great example that there was a viable option available to the people of Jericho: faith. Rahab's story turns our perspective around.
She turned against her own country preferring and trusting God's blessing by protecting the spies. She had the boldness to ask for mercy from God, and she was rewarded because of her faith... not for her deception, but for the kindness she showed to the spies (Heb11:31). A small detail in verse 15 makes Rahab's salvation from destruction all the more astounding.
Her house was part of the city wall, and we know that those walls were to crumble. But to be spared, Rahab and her family had to stay in her house. God's deliverance of Rahab wasn't just merciful, it must have been miraculous! Rahab and her family were saved, and she actually married into the line of the Messiah (Matt 1:5).
Looking For God's Glory?
Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. Jeremiah 9:23-24.
People find many things to glory in and brag about. For the runner, it might be his speed or distance. For the weightlifter, it's the number of pounds he can curl. For the scholar, it might be his list of degrees or publications. For the wealthy man, it's his diverse portfolio. But none of these things bring a glory that will last forever. They are at best a passing grandeur.
Speaking through the prophet Jeremiah, God exhorted His people not to look for their glory in natural wisdom, power or wealth but in their relationship with Him. It was not the armies that defended God's holy city, Jerusalem; it was not the silver and gold in the temple treasury. Israel could brag about none of these things. What was really important, what would bring glory forever, was the opportunity to grow in a relationship with the Lord.
To understand and know God was something to boast about. That was all that mattered. People frantically seek for their 15 minutes of fame, their moment in the limelight. They spend vast sums of money and even risk their lives to stake a fleeting claim to glory. Others try to bask in the reflected glory of the rich and famous. But none of these things are truly satisfying, let alone lasting.
Only God can offer that.
Facts Of The Day
