Personal Story Of The Day
Love Is Always The Right AttitudeIsaac lived among the Philistines, who proved to be unfriendly neighbours. He had grown so rich and powerful that they feared him and asked him to leave their territory. Being "much mightier" than they (Genesis 26:16), Isaac could have refused, but he conceded and moved into a nearby valley where his father Abraham had dug some wells years before.
The Philistines had stopped up the wells after the death of Abraham. Each time Isaac reopened a well they claimed it for themselves, even though they had not been using it. They were just being contentious. But Isaac kept moving on till he entered an area where the Philistines no longer contested his right to the water.
I've encountered people like that. When my brothers and I played 'catch' as young boys, we had to be very careful about our throws, because the neighbour would confiscate any balls that went into his yard. It's difficult to like such people, but Jesus went so far as to say that we must love them, pray for them, and be good to them (Matthew5:44).
It may not be easy, and those 'difficult' persons may not change. Yet, according to Romans 12:18, we must still do all we can to live peacefully with everyone. Who knows what others put up with... whether family or us, before we were brought into God's church?
Jokes Of The Day
The photographer for a national magazine was assigned to get photos of a great forest fire. Smoke at the scene was too thick to get any good shots, so he frantically called his home office to hire a plane."It will be waiting for you at the airport!" he was assured by his editor.
As soon as he got to the small, rural airport, sure enough, a plane was warming up near the runway. He jumped in with his equipment and yelled, "Let's go! Let's go!" The pilot swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air.
"Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "and make three or four low level passes."
"Why?" asked the pilot.
"Because I'm going to take pictures! I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures!" said the photographer with great exasperation and impatience.
After a long pause the pilot said, "You mean you're not the instructor?"

A man was walking along the beach and found a bottle. He looked around and didn't see anyone so he opened it. A genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him out.
The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you one wish, but only one."The man thought for a minute and said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able to because I'm afraid of flying and ships make me claustrophobic and ill. So I wish for a road to be built from California to Hawaii."
The genie thought for a few minutes and said, "No, I don't think I can do that. Just think of all the work involved with the pilings needed to hold up the highway and how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all the pavement that would be needed. No, that is just too much to ask."
The man thought for a minute and then told the genie, "There is one other thing that I have always wanted. I would like to be able to understand women. What makes them laugh and cry, why are they temperamental, why are they so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes them tick?"
The genie considered for a few minutes and said, "So was that a two lane road or four?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Job Accused Once Again
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice... Hosea 6:6. References from Job 34:1-37.
Perhaps you've heard a story like Deborah Johnson's. After an accident on the job forced her out of work, she battled for nearly five years to get her workers compensation claim settled. When it was finally paid, she found out that her medical bills wouldn't be covered. It was like pouring salt on wounds.
That's likely what Job felt. Although Elihu claims to have something new to say, in reality, he continues very much like Job's friends, insisting that God is just to punish evildoers.
Like them, Elihu missed the fact that Job has never denied this. Thus, right when Job might have hoped for comfort, he receives insult on top of injury. Elihu claims that 'Job drinks scorn like water'. In other words, Job should be counted among the wicked. Now Elihu is right to question Job's claim of complete innocence. As we have seen, there's an element of pride in Job's protestations, as he himself will come to realise.
Elihu would be right to challenge Job's claim that it profits a person nothing to please God (v9), except that Job never claimed this. Instead, Job pointed out that calamity falls upon both the righteous and the wicked (9:22-24) and that the wicked do prosper in this life (21:7-13).
Much of what Elihu says is perfectly correct. God cannot do evil (v12). He is so intimately involved in the world that if He withdrew His life-giving spirit, all would collapse (v15). And because nothing truly escapes God's notice (v21-30), It is wrong to suggest that God permanently overlooks evil.
The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust. Ruth 2:12
Birds use their wings for many purposes other than flying. In times of danger, a mother bird's wings provide a feathered canopy of protection. When darkness falls and the temperature drops, it is under their mother's wings that young chicks find the warmth they need to make it through the frosty night. As the rain plummets to the earth, these same wings provide dry shelter.
For those who are young and vulnerable, the wings of their mother promise the safety and security they need.
This is the safety and security Boaz alluded to as he assured Ruth that her kind and unselfish deeds would not go unrewarded. When she abandoned the security of her homeland to care for her mother in law, Naomi, Ruth may have wondered about her future. She had left everything that spelled safety, but she found something even greater... a refuge that exists only under the wings of the God of Israel.
The word translated "refuge" means "to flee for protection." Under the shelter of God's wings, Ruth found the protection she needed. God never abandons His own.
In times of danger and distress, He spreads His wings of protection and comfort over us. Protected by His wings, we do not need to fear the difficult circumstances of life. Personal storms may rage around us, but we are safe under the canopy of God's constant care. The psalmist assures us, "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust:" (Psa 91:4). If you are going through painful times, nestle yourself under His wings.
Take comfort in the fact that God's protection is spread over you. Nothing can touch your life without His express permission. Nothing can threaten you without His express protection. God's protection is more than a match for our problems.
