Childhood is a time of rapid changes. Between the ages of twelve and seventeen, a parent can age 30 years.That's the way things come clear. All of a sudden. And then you realize how obvious they've been all along.
With God, even when nothing is happening - something is happening.

Personal Story Of The Day
The Strength Of Weakness
We've been taught that when we ask God for something through prayer, His answer may be yes, no, or wait. We're told that even no is an answer, though obviously not the one we may want. It certainly wasn't the answer Paul wanted when he begged God three times to remove his "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7-8). Whatever Paul's thorn was (probably, it was the flesh itself), it weakened and frustrated him.
Because he wanted to be strong in his ministry, Paul asked God for deliverance. Although God didn't grant his request, He answered his prayer! He said to Paul, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (v9). The all-sufficient strength of Christ became Paul's new boast. Paul's attitude about his thorn changed... At first he viewed it as a limiting handicap, but later he came to regard it as a heavenly advantage.
Paul could therefore testify, "I take pleasure infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (v10).
Have you prayed to be delivered from something that weakens you, but deliverance hasn't come? Remember, God's grace is sufficient for you. He can transform your limitation into your "heavenly advantage."

You Can't Take It With You
There once was a rich man who was near death. He was very grieved because he had worked so hard for his money and he wanted to be able to take it with him to heaven. So he began to pray that he might be able to take some of his wealth with him.
An angel hears his plea and appears to him. 'Sorry, but you can't take your wealth with you.'
The man implores the angel to speak to God to see if He might bend the rules. The man continues to pray that his wealth could follow him. The angel reappears and informs the man that God has decided to allow him to take one suitcase with him.
Overjoyed, the man gathers his largest suitcase and fills it with pure gold bars and places it beside his bed.
Soon afterward the man dies and shows up at the Gates of Heaven to greet St. Peter. St. Peter seeing the suitcase says, 'Hold on, you can't bring that in here! '
But, the man explains to St. Peter that he has permission and asks him to verify his story with the Lord.
Sure enough, St. Peter checks and comes back saying, 'You're right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I'm supposed to check its contents before letting it through.' St. Peter opens the suitcase to inspect the worldly items that the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaims, 'You brought pavement!!!???'
************************************
A blonde was driving back from the mall when there was a terrible hail storm. Huge hail stones the size of golf balls pelted her car leaving it full of dents. She drove to the body shop and asked what she should do. The body man explained what needed to be done and that it would cost at least $4,000 to repair. She said that was too much and asked if there was some other way to fix it.
The body man decided to have a little fun and said, "Well you could blow into the tail pipe real hard and they might pop back out." She decided to give it a try before spending that much money.
She drove home and was in the garage with her lips wrapped around the exhaust pipe when her blonde neighbour came over to visit.
"What are you doing?" she shrieked thinking the worst and thankful that she may have just prevented her friend from committing suicide.
"I'm blowing into the tailpipe real hard to pop all these dents out of my car," explained the first blonde.
"Well silly, it's not going to work," replied her neighbour.
"Why not?" asked the first blonde.
"Because you've got to roll up the windows first."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Chaste Body Also Leads To A Chaste Heart
When God made man and woman, it was with the knowledge and intention that their bodies would remain special. Their bodies house their spirit, the essence of life itself. God also revealed that our bodies were sacred and certain behaviours would break down the values and benefits that he had created within us.
Men and women were created to be chaste... without any form of sexual activity outside of marriage. Chastity helps maintain our spirituality, keeping us focused and in good standing with God's blessings and purposes for our lives.
In today's verses, we find another important benefit to chastity. It not only protects from disease and unwanted pregnancy, it also enhances the beauty of sex in marriage. The groom praises the chaste character of his bride by describing her as a garden locked up; a spring enclosed and a sealed fountain. The practice of abstinence did not make her seem like a prude, but rather like a beautiful private garden.
To a locked garden and spring, no one has access but the rightful owner, and a sealed fountain is shut against all impurity. The practice of chastity is not grounded in a hatred of sex but an understanding of its true value. The chaste person recognises the beauty of moral purity.
Abstinence did not make the bride less attractive to Solomon, it increased his longing for her. Moral purity enhances one's enjoyment of love making. Chastity is a relevant issue for single and married alike. Both have an obligation to control their own bodies that today's verse describes as the way that is holy and honourable (1 Thess 4:4). For the single person this means abstaining from sexual activity until marriage.
For the married person it means keeping the gate to this garden of secret delights locked to all but one's spouse. This is the backbone of a good marriage and a happy family... and God's blessings.
Fishing For Men
And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. Matthew 4:19.
We love to fish. And I've spent many days on the river bank, the sea shore and in my boat, casting my line into the water, and I have caught lots of good fish. God wants to make us fishermen also. But He is speaking of bringing into the fold those that are lost in the world, without any hope for tomorrow.
That same power that the Lord put in Peter and Andrew can be yours. He wants each of us to be 'fishers of men', to testify of his saving powers, and to be a guiding light to everyone with which we come in contact. We need to be diligent followers of God, keeping our minds focused on Him and the work He has for us to do.
We need to 'cast our line' into the 'water' every time we see someone who is not saved. We, too, can be 'fishers of men', just like Peter and Andrew.
When the bait is truth... you only catch good fish.
