Intro
Monday, June 8 2026from the Brisbane Revival Fellowship
If you are still alive it is a very good day.
Only 207 days to the year 2027
Scripture Of The Day
O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee.Psalms 25:20
Read The Bible In a Year
2 Chronicles 30-31 ; John 18:1-18Thoughts For The Day
You should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.
Those who have easy, cheerful attitudes tend to be happier than those with less pleasant temperaments, regardless of money, 'making it', or success.

God never makes a promise without giving the power to make it come true.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
A Safe Journey
Maybe this should be our prayer "Lord, let me get home before dark." I fear... that I should end before I finish, or finish but not well. That I should stain Your honour, shame Your name, grieve Your loving heart. Few, the bible tells me, finish well. Paul also faced dangers ahead of him in Jerusalem: "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." (Acts 20:24).
It is God's word of grace (v32) that encourages us to continue in faith, for it tells us that He is able to strengthen us until the end of our lives. So let's keep walking and trusting as we pray, Because of your great love, Father, I humbly ask You to help me get home before dark.
Jokes Of The Day
Q:Where do you find a dog with no legs?A:Right where you left him.

A blonde was complaining to her friend about constantly being called a dumb blonde. Her friend tells her "go do something to prove them wrong! Why don't you learn all the state capitals or something?" The blonde thinks this is a great idea, and locks herself up for two weeks studying.
The next party she goes to, some guy is making dumb blonde comments to her. She gets all indignant and claims, "I'm NOT a dumb blonde. In fact, I can name ALL the state capitals!"
The guy doesn't believe her, so she dares him to test her. He says "Okay, what's the Capital of Montana?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
We Have The Deposit
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Ephesians 1:18. References from Ephesians 1:15-23.
In the above verses, Paul gave thanks for the Ephesians and characterized them as a church filled with faith and love. In his epistles, he often told churches what he was thankful for about them and what he was praying for concerning them. We can make these our prayers as well, both for ourselves and for our churches. The apostle's main prayer for the Ephesian believers was that they would come to know the Christ-given pathway even better.
This would happen as they gained wisdom from the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures (v17). The word wisdom here is not primarily intellectual but relational... it suggests personal knowledge. Paul also prayed that through this godly and God given wisdom... faithful believers' eyes would be opened to two truths. First, the hope that is our rich inheritance in Christ (v18). As heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, we have been reborn into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade (Rom 8:17; 1 Peter1:34).
The Spirit is a deposit or initial payment on this inheritance of salvation (v14).
How Much Does Jesus Care?
And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters. Exodus 15:27.
Almost a hundred years ago, a minister was plagued with ongoing trials and discouragements. When he thought he no longer could stand it, Rev.Frank Graeff remembered 1Peter 5:7, which says, "casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." A new joy and peace encouraged his soul and he penned a song in which every stanza began with the question, "Does Jesus care . . . ?" The refrain echoes back, "O yes, He cares... I know He cares! His heart is touched with my grief."(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpLfS-slzqo) .
The Israelites had reached a point in their journey where they were asking, "Does God care?" There had been years of hardship in Egypt. Then there was the hard trek through the wilderness. Finally they came upon a campsite where the water was unfit to drink, as we have already seen this week. Life was not easy, but at last God brought them to Elim, where the water was plenteous and the trees were lush and shady.
In the midst of their adversity, God brought them to a place of relief. Does God care about you? He really does. If you're going through a tough time, don't give up. God has an Elim in your future. Scripture promises that God "will not allow you to be tempted [tried by the world] beyond what you are able" (1 Cor 10:13). Ahead, at God's rest stop, there is rest for the weary and tranquillity for the distressed. If you're at Marah, the water of bitterness, look ahead to Elim, the place of peace.
Facts Of The Day
- In many states in USA the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke to remove bloodstains from the highway after a car accident
- The eyes of the giant squid (Architeuthis dux) can be up to 25 centimeters (ten inches) across, about the size of a volleyball. Those large, sensitive eyes are useful in the dark waters where the giant squid lives, 200-700 meters (660-2,300 feet) below the surface of the ocean. # How big does it get? Up to 18 m (59 ft), # Up to 900 kg (1,980 lb, nearly 1 ton), Giant squids are among the world's most mysterious megafauna (large animals). So far, no live specimen has been captured. They live in deep oceans all around the world, along with at least ten other species of very large squid. Like other cephalopods such as octopi, giant squids have complex, well-developed brains. They are ferocious predators, but they are also pursued and eaten by large cetaceans such as sperm whales, some of which show the obvious scars of giant squid sucker disks.
