Psalms 51-53 ; Romans 2Thoughts For The Day
A determined person will do more with a pen and paper, than a lazy person will accomplish with a personal computer.An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.
Evangelism is nothing more than one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.

Personal Story Of The Day
Blameless
Do you know what it means to be blameless? It's not something we think much about today. The Bible teaches that leaders in the local church must be blameless (Titus 1:6-7; see also 1 Timothy 3:2). To be blameless does not mean to be sinless. If that were the case, none of us would qualify. The word translated blameless in the original language is 'anegkletos'. It is made up of two words: a negative suffix and 'egkaleo', meaning to accuse or to call into question.
Thus, the word literally means one who cannot be called into question, one who is irreproachable. It means church leaders must have no skeletons left in their closets. They must always live blameless lives before the Lord. That's what God said to His servant Abram: I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect (blameless) (Gen 17:1). Often today church leaders are selected because of their money or influence or availability, with little regard to whether they have walked blamelessly before the Lord.
It is far better to select a blameless leader than a popular one, or a 'yes' man. Pray for your pastor and the other leaders of your church. They have tough jobs, and the qualifications are stringent. And ask God to enable you to walk blamelessly before Him and allow Him to lead you as He wills.
'Lord, I cannot be sinless, but I can be blameless. Help my life to be an open book before You. May there be no skeletons in my closet that would cause You to be embarrassed and me to be disqualified from service to You.'
Jokes Of The Day
Benjamin is in the midst of a long dry spell in Las Vegas. Eventually he gambles away all his money and has to borrow a quarter from another gambler just to use the men's room. He finds a stall that happens to be open and pockets the quarter.Believing that his luck has finally changed, he puts the quarter in a slot machine and hits the jackpot. He takes his winnings and goes to the blackjack table and turns his modest winnings into a million dollars.
Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, Benjamin goes on the lecture circuit, where he tells his incredible story. He tells his audiences that he will always be eternally grateful to his benefactor, and if he ever finds the man he will share his fortune with him.
After months of speaking, a man in the audience jumps up and says, "I'm that man. I was the one who gave you the quarter."
"Yes, I remember you well, but you aren't the one I'm looking for. I mean the guy who left the stall door open!"
************************************
An elderly man went to the doctor for a visit. "Doc," he says," I am so stricken. I have chest pains, headaches, back pains, nausea, arthritis, constipation, stomach cramps, earaches, burning in the eyes, congested lungs..."
"Sir," says the doctor, "you complain you have so many things. What don't you have?"
The man answers, "Teeth."
************************************
A guy named Derek finds himself in dire trouble. His business has gone bust and he's in serious financial trouble. He's so desperate he decides to ask God for help. He begins to pray...
"God, please help me. I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well. Please let me win the lotto."
Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it.
Derek again prays...
"God, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well".
Lotto night comes and Derek still has no luck.
Once again, he prays...
"My God, why have you forsaken me?? I've lost my business, my house, and my car. My wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order."
Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the heavens open and Derek is confronted by the voice of God Himself:
"Derek, meet Me halfway on this. Buy a ticket."

Riddle Of The Day
There was a guy stuck in a metal room with a metal door.The door was locked and there were no windows. The following items were inside the room:a piano, table,a saw,and a bat, How did the man get out? (3 ways)Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
There are 20 people in an empty, square room. Each person has full sight of the entire room and everyone in it without turning his head or body, or moving in any way other than the eyes. Where can you place an apple so that all but one person can see it?
Place the apple on one person's head.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. Proverbs 30:18-19. References from Genesis 24.
Although it would have been customary to marry his son with a Canaanite woman in order to form a local alliance, Abraham didn't want that. So he sent Eliezer back to their old home to look for a wife for Isaac, trusting God to provide the right person (v7). Eliezer is an interesting figure. As the chief servant, he stood to inherit Abraham's estate before the births of Ishmael and Isaac. He might have obeyed his instructions hal- heartedly or resentfully, but there's no sign of that. In fact, like Abraham he shows faith and entrusts the task of choosing a woman, not to his own wisdom, but to God's.
His unlikely prayer is answered almost immediately, despite the hard labour involved. If Eliezer's caravan had at least ten camels, and they had been in the desert several days, they would have needed about 95 litres of water each. If an average jug was 11 litres, Rebekah made 83 trips to water them! From there, the wedding arrangements progressed rapidly. Eliezer gave her gifts and requested hospitality.
At her house he introduced himself to the family and told his urgent errand before the meal had even begun. Then he negotiated, paid the bride price, and the next morning headed back to Canaan with the bride to be.
Let My Life Be A Blessing
In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice. Genesis 22:18.
The creed for a lot of parents these days is, "Get even... Live long enough to be a problem to your kids." That's humorous, and in some circumstances, understandable, but it's not very good advice. Abraham 's life illustrates a different approach: he lived long enough to be a blessing. Think what we might have missed had Abraham died at an earlier age. During his first 75 years, he lived as a dutiful son to his father, Terah, and a faithful husband to his wife, Sarah. He was a blessing to these two, but there were still many others ahead.
Through years of tests and trials God purified his life and taught him obedience. Then finally, at age 99, he stood ready to be a blessing to the whole world. Through his son, born when Abraham was 100, eventually came the Messiah, who would bring hope and salvation to "all the nations of the earth." Christians should view each year God gives us as an opportunity to be an even greater blessing to those around us.
The older we grow, the more blessed our presence should be. We must be careful that the years don't simply increase our litany of complaints or add to our list of ailments. Let's seal our lips against giving unwanted advice; let's be available but not meddlesome. Instead of seeking how we can be blessed, let's seek to be a blessing instead.
Whose life might you bless today? Is there someone you can encourage with an email or phone call? Is there an act of kindness you might do for a neighbour? Accumulate more for yourself than just the years you live; collect the opportunities to be a blessing to others. Live life to be a blessing, not a bystander.
