Personal Story Of The Day
Just A Flick Of The Switch
Darkness upon darkness. Sorrow upon sorrow. Pain upon pain. Anguish upon anguish. That's death. Death is a fearful visitor, snatching away people who are precious to us and leaving us behind to mourn, grieve, and wonder. It blocks the light that before had shined so freely and easily on our lives. Whether we're facing the prospect of dying, or dealing with the death of a loved one, death can be devastating. It can sap our energy, change our plans, overwhelm our soul, alter our outlook, test our faith, steal our joy, and challenge our assumptions about life's purposes.
When we walk through the deep valley of uncertainty, we feel swallowed up by the shadow and come face to face with fear. The frantic emptiness of our loss threatens the comfort that previously originated from our trust in God, and so we grow afraid. Afraid of our future. Afraid to enjoy life again. Yet in that valley, under that shadow, we can say to the Lord, "I will fear no evil; for You are with me" (Psalm 23:4). His loving arms never let us go. He is always with us. Slowly at first, but most assuredly, He provides comfort and release from the darkness. He gives light. He leads us out.
Eventually, we escape the valley of the shadow. Just as darkness is the absence of light, so death is the absence of life. We solve the first problem without the slightest fear by turning on the light switch: likewise, we solve the second problem by walking in the spirit (loving servitude)... casting out all fear (1Joh 4:18).
Jokes Of The Day
An American decided to write a book about famous churches around the world.For his first chapter he decided to write about Australianchurches. So he
bought a plane ticket and took a trip to Hobart, thinking that he would work
his way across the country from South to North.
On his first day he was inside a church taking photographs when he noticed a
golden telephone mounted on the wall with a sign that read "$10,000 per
call". The writer, being intrigued, asked a priest who was strolling by what
the telephone was used for. The priest replied that it was a direct line to
heaven and that for $10,000 you could talk to God. The writer thanked the
priest and went along his way.
Next stop was in Melbourne. There, at a very large cathedral, he saw the
same golden telephone with the same sign under it. He wondered if this was
the same kind of telephone he saw in Hobart and he asked a nearby nun what
its purpose was. She told him that it was a direct line toheaven and that
for $10,000 he could talk to God. "O.K., thank you," said the writer.
He then travelled to Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, and Alice
Springs. In every church he saw the same golden telephone with the same
"$10,000 per call" sign under it.
The American, upon leaving Alice Springs saw a sign for Queensland and
decided to see if Queenslanders had the same phone.
He arrived in Brisbane, and again, there was the same golden telephone, but
this time the sign under it read "10 cents per call."
The writer was surprised so he asked the priest about the sign.
"Father, I've travelled all over Australia and I've seen this same golden
telephone in many churches. I'm told that it is a direct line to Heaven, but
in every state the price was $10,000 per call. Why is it so cheap here?"
The priest smiled and answered, "You're in Queensland now son, it's a local
call".

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A question of ‘why’?
Job... was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job 1:1. References from Job 1:1-5.
The walk along the beach had been magical. The sky was a rich blue and the waves sparkled in the sunlight. Small children giggled as they splashed in gentle waves. Suddenly the mood was broken. As two young kids walked with their parents, they came across a dead sea tern that had failed to survive the winter migration. How come this bird died? asked one of the kids. Did he do something bad? asked the other. The presence of death and suffering in our world prompts these questions.
Why do bad things happen for no apparent reason? Why do good people get cancer or some children die? Our natural human tendency is to look for answers. We often think that if we know the reason, then we can accept the tragedy. But as anyone who has suffered can confirm; often there are no easy answers... at least humanly speaking. The book of Job, our study for the next bit, helps us to consider suffering from the divine perspective. Throughout Jobs long ordeal, he's completely unaware that God is accomplishing His own divine purposes. It's only at the end of his trial that Job begins to see God's hand in it all.
Even then, Job does not find explanations; rather, he sees God more clearly. Job is a powerful example that continues to instruct and encourage Christians today. We don't know who wrote Job. It's likely that he may have written part of this book himself. Others have suggested that Elihu, who appears later in this work, was the author.
Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him. Mark 15:31-32. It's an odd thing that we can say one thing and mean another. Sometimes people speak beyond their knowledge. In their mockery, the religious leaders spoke better than they knew when they challenged Jesus to save Himself from the cross (v31-32).
Without realising they said the right thing. If Jesus were to fulfil His messianic mission, He could not save Himself. His death was necessary for man's redemption. But their words carried the wrong meaning. In their minds, Jesus was powerless to save. They knew He had healed others, but now since He was staying on the cross, they said that He could not save Himself. These were the right words, but with the wrong meaning.
Jesus is not powerless to save, nor is He unwilling. The nails did not hold Him fast to the cross. Had He saved Himself from death, He could not have saved others from something more deadly than storms or illnesses. By His suffering, death and resurrection, Jesus taught us to "take up" the cross, not to come down from one. Many people say the right words about Jesus but do not grasp the real meaning. Do you?
Do you truly understand that Jesus had to stay on the cross? Are you walking in the Lord... or merely talking in the Lord?
Facts Of The Day
