Personal Story Of The Day
Bee A Good ServantAs he sat looking at his bee hives, he was especially interested in the activities of a considerable number of bees that seemed to be busy bodies. They were always buzzing, going in and out of the hive, but doing no apparent work. These nonproductive ones are called drones. They are male bees... much larger than a worker or even the queen. Their only function is to fertilize a queen and then die.
While waiting for a new queen to emerge, the drones spend their time visiting one hive after another. But they do no work; they make no honey; they build no comb; they can't even sting. And they're noisy! You should hear them buzz, but it's all bluff.
For a while, drones are privileged characters, but when autumn comes and the honey flow slackens, the worker bees will kill every drone! Not a one lives through the winter. The time of reckoning comes, and they are denied the reward of the workers.
In the apostle Paul's letter to Timothy, he warned about people who are active in the wrong kinds of activities... going from house to house as busybodies, stirring up trouble instead of serving others (1Timothy 5:13). Don't be a drone if you want to share in the heavenly treasures reserved for the faithful.
Jokes Of The Day
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."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
The Defence Of An Honest Conscience.
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. Psalm 18:23. References from Job 31:1-40.
On April 16, 2004, the Associated Press ran a story about a man who served 18 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. DNA evidence led to the conviction of another man, who confessed to the crime. Finally, my innocence is recognised, Darryl Hunt said. For so many years I have been trying to prove my innocence only to be told I was lying and to finally have it official means a lot.
Hunt received a pardon of innocence, and monetary compensation for his time imprisoned. We might call today's verses as Job's request for a pardon of innocence.
After reflecting on his past and present (Job 29-30), Job refutes charges levelled without evidence. This long passage uses the legal formula, If I have done X, then may some curse Y happen, summarising the high moral standards by which Job lived. In the preamble (v14), Job upholds the law of retribution for sin, which he has never denied.
His own commitment to righteousness begins by keeping his eyes pure. He then declares his innocence regarding dishonest business practices (v58) and adultery (v9-12). Neither has Job been unjust toward servants (v13-15), whom he sees as fellow heirs of grace, a startling thought in Job's day. Job again refutes Eliphaz's reckless accusations (22:69) concerning his conduct toward the poor.
The strength of Job's denial is seen in the curse that he invokes (bodily dismemberment, v22) if he has failed in this regard. Job continues, denying greed and idolatry (v26-27). He hasn't rejoiced in his enemies misfortune (Matt. 5:44), or failed to show proper hospitality, which was supremely important in Job's time. Finally, he denies that he has concealed sin.
Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn. Ruth 2:9
An Alpine mountain climbing team came to a perilous gap in the ice. The only way to get across was to step into the outstretched hands of the guide who had met them on the other side. The first climber hesitated a moment as he looked into the gloomy depths below, where he would certainly fall to his death if anything went wrong. Seeing his hesitancy, the guide said, "Don't worry. In all my years as a guide, my hands have never yet lost a man!" With this same assurance, Ruth placed herself in Boaz's hands.
God provided someone who would protect her. Boaz took steps to keep her morally safe by commanding the young men not to touch her. He also provided for her physical protection. Under the hot Mediterranean sun, the danger of heat stroke was a very real possibility. But his young men brought jars of water to the field, and Ruth was free to refresh herself whenever she wanted.
In Boaz, Ruth found a safe haven from the dangers around her. God offers the same to all His children. There is never a moment when we are excluded from His divine protection. However, that does not mean we can never be hurt.
It doesn't mean we will never die. But God's divine protection extends to our ultimate safety... the protection of our souls. These can never be harmed. They are safe in the care of Christ. Rejoice in God's divine protection. Be confident that you are safe in His care, no matter how difficult your circumstances might be. God is the keeper of your soul.
