Scripture Of The Day
And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.2 John 1:6
Read The Bible In a Year
Jeremiah 46-47 ; Hebrews 6Thoughts For The Day
When we don't have enough faith, we try to take over and do things for ourselves. We fail to realize that each circumstance in our lives is there so that the Lord can help us to grow in faith in Him, not in ourselves.Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true?

Personal Story Of The Day
Many holiday travellers take along too much stuff. They pack more shoes, clothes, and gadgets than they will ever need. Their mindset is, "I'd better not forget anything because I can't go home and get it." They would be better off if they asked, "How much can I get along without?" They often end up dragging around heavier than necessary suitcases. Some people even purchase so many new items on vacation that they have to leave some of their other stuff behind in the hotel.
We're inclined to accumulate far too many possessions on our journey through life. We're bombarded with ads that urge us to purchase things we "just can't live without." So we buy more and more and more.
The rich man in Jesus' parable (Luke 12:13-21) may have been dreaming about all the good things he could acquire because he had a great crop. He said he would build bigger barns, and he would spend his time eating, drinking, and partying. But God told him, "Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?" (v20).

Teacher: You don't know your arithmetic young man.
John: And you don't know my grandparents.

Disgusted with his life, an absent-minded professor decided to commit suicide. That night his wife returned home to find him hanging from the ceiling by his ankles.
"What are you doing up there?" she asked.
"I'm trying to kill myself," replied the professor.
"You're doing it all wrong," said his wife. "You're supposed to put the rope around your neck."
"I tried it that way," whined the professor, "but I couldn't breathe."

"I say, I say, I say. My girlfriend's an absolute peach."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
They Wasted Their Time
And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. Matthew 22:46. References from Matthew 22:15-46.
How people respond to Christ is life's most important issue, whether they are Pharisees, Australians, or modern suburbanites. Today, we read the final dialogues between Jesus and the Jewish religious leaders.
The first dialogue started with flattery from the Pharisees, followed by their trick question about paying taxes. Jesus had eluded the Pharisees so many times... and they had lost so much face... that they sent their followers, along with some Herodians (their political enemies!). But Jesus taught that we should submit to the proper authorities in our lives.
Next came the Sadducees with a question about marriage. The question was absurd in itself; they showed their mocking attitude because they themselves didn't even believe in resurrection. Jesus responded that resurrection is a biblical truth. A lack of belief in it reveals that they didnt know the Scriptures or God (v29). His indictment struck at the core of their prideful self-conception!
The Pharisees tried once more, this time asking a meaningful question about the greatest commandment. Jesus' answer summarized the spirit of the Law: to love God and ones neighbour is the basic spiritual duty of every worshiper (Deut. 6:5). Here, love is agape love... that is, not a feeling of affection, but a chosen, sacrificial commitment.
Finally, it was Jesus turn to ask the questions. He asked the leaders about the identity of the Messiah, then confounded them by explaining from Scripture that the Christ would be more than a man... He must Himself be the Lord!
The Pharisees and other religious leaders had the chance to ask Jesus anything they liked. Unfortunately, they squandered their opportunities with trick questions and hostile motives.

Making Memories
1 Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
How good is your memory? Can you remember back into your childhood when you really wanted to do something, but weren't allowed to do it? Can you remember the first time you stayed over night with a friend or the first time you went camping? Do you remember your first pet or the first funeral you attended? Our memories are made up of all the little things we do all through our lives. Our memory holds the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, alike.
Just think of the memories that people throughout the Bible made for themselves! There was David, a child, stepping up to slay the big giant! Can't you imagine the adrenaline flowing, as he pulled back his hand to sling that rock at him? And, what about Jonah and the whale? Jonah would have had such a good memory of his time in the belly of the whale, that he never wanted to go there again!
The scripture says that the 'memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot.' [Proverbs 10:17] Each time one hears the gospel preached, it goes down in our memory. The Lord begins to work with our hearts, convicting us of the sin we've committed, wooing us, wanting us to turn to Him for cleansing and ongoing salvation. Hopefully, each and every one of us will see wisdom and practice it before the Lord's return. What a wonderful memory to know that we are saved for all eternity, waiting to reign with the Lord forever.
