Personal Story Of The Day
Hello... Is That You?Prayer is the greatest privilege a Christian has. Can you imagine being granted an audience with the President of the United States, the Prime Minister of your country at your whim? Yet, God, our Creator and Sustainer, invites us to bring all our needs, desires, cares, and petitions to Him at any time, in any situation, for any reason.
We can travel the world and pray anytime. We can assist remote people, join up with new converts, bring healing and salvation, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, calm the moody, give hope to the hopeless, and forgive the fallen.
Prayer is the "hot line" to God. His phone number is Jeremiah 33:3,"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and mighty things you do not know." His business card has this motto: "Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and you shall find; Knock, and it shall be opened unto you" (Luke 11:9). His email message says: "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it" (Jn 14:14).
You'll never get a busy signal, or be put on hold and have to listen to someone else's taste in music, or be put on speaker phone for all to hear, or be placed in a conference call, or be told He'll call you right back, or be given a wrong number.
God loves it when His children pray! We're not talking about whining, or blind faith, or wishful thinking. Prayer is faith in God's promises, and aligning oneself with God's will. Hence, we can ask "boldly" as we pray in line with his Gospel through the power of the Spirit. "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.'
'For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathise with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are... yet without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" (Heb.4:14-16).
Jokes Of The Day
There was once a magic mirror in a ladies room in a bar. If one stood in front of this mirror and tells the truth, one is granted a wish. However, if one tells a lie, *POOF*, you are instantly swallowed up by the mirror, never to be seen again.A redhead of questionable looks walks into the Ladies Room and stands before the mirror and says, "I think I'm the most beautiful woman in the world."
*POOF* The mirror swallows her.
Next, a rather large brunette stands before the mirror and says, "I think I think I'm losing wight!
*POOF* The mirror swallows her.
Then an absolutely gorgeous blond comes in and stands before the mirror and says, "I think..."
*POOF*

A group of senior citizens were exchanging complaints about their
ailments.
"My arm is so weak that I can hardly hold this coffee cup."
"Yes, I know. My cataracts are so bad that I can't see to pour my
coffee."
"I can't turn my head because of the arthritis in my neck."
"My blood pressure pills make my dizzy."
"I guess that's the price we pay for getting old."
"Well, it's not all bad.
We should be thankful that we can still drive."
************************************
German scientists dug 50 meters down and discovered small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nation-wide telephone net.
Naturally, the Russian government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down they found small pieces of glass and they soon announced that the ancient Russians 35,000 years ago already had a nation-wide fiber net.
Irish scientists were outraged by this. They dug 200 meters down & found absolutely nothing. They happily concluded that the ancient Irish 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. Romans 14:19. References from Romans 14:1-18.
The Servant Song, a popular chorus from the 1970s, captures the essence of what it means to be members together in the body of Christ:
'Brother, sister, let me serve you, let me be as Christ to you;
pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant too.
We are pilgrims on a journey; we're together on this road.
We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load. . . .
I will weep when you are weeping; when you laugh, I'll laugh with you.
I will share your joy and sorrow till we've seen this journey through.'
The body of Christ is a critical factor that must influence our everyday leisure decision making. As today's verse shows, we should choose what is edifying to others. Our culture encourages us to feel that our free time is our own, but in fact leisure is often a community reality... for example, when we give or receive hospitality or play sports. That's why loving God is biblically linked to loving our neighbour. Romans 14, covered today and tomorrow, should be a key chapter in our thinking about leisure choices.
The first issue in this passage was food. Paul taught that stronger faith could eat more, while weaker faith could eat less (we sometimes get this turned around). His point was not to judge one another either way, but to leave each person's conscience free before God, because spiritual growth is His business. Paul repeated this key theme in addressing the second issue of sacred days. Each person should be fully convinced in his own mind and do whatever they chose as to the Lord (v58).
Famine
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14.
We've all heard of a famine, and most of us think of a shortage of food. But there are other famines, unrelated to hunger. The one famine we are seeing in our world today is the 'hearing of the Word'. The Word is constantly preached in churches, over the television, and radios. And, it is widely available on the Internet, as well as in your own Bible.
But people often read the Word, or hear it preached, but aren't 'hearing' it. They know certain things are in the Bible, and say we have faith, but we never act upon the faith that will enable the power of the Holy Spirit to work.
If you doubt there is a famine in hearing and obeying the Word of God, look around you at most 'Christians'. There are so many oppressed, depressed, poor, and dying. They have knowledge of the Word, but not the enlightenment or power of the Holy Spirit. Some hear the Word on Sunday and don't hear it again until the next Sunday.
They never open the Bible and read God's promises and let the Holy Spirit work in them. God doesn't want His people oppressed, depressed, poor, or dying. None of us will live forever, but many are dying too early and some spiritually.
A better knowledge and understanding of God's Word could prevent many of the trials and tribulations Christians continue to suffer in. The gift of the Holy Spirit is meant to empower Christians to endure and overcome all these problems. God gives us instructions by which we should conduct our daily lives, IF we listen.
Many don't wait to hear from God but go their merry way. God is waiting to clear up this FAMINE in our land, if only we let Him, and let others know of what he has for them!
