Wherever the Gospel is preached, no matter how crudely, there are bound to be results.

We can endure life's wrongs because we know God will make things right.

" Everyone complains of his memory, no one of his judgment. "

You have a very powerful mind that can make anything happen as long as you keep yourself centered.

Personal Story Of The Day

You Are Never Alone

Loneliness has been termed the most desolate word in the English language. It is no respecter of age, race, economic status, or intelligence. Albert Einstein said, "It is strange to be known so universally, and yet to be so lonely." God made us for intimacy and companionship with others. Even before sin entered the world, He declared that it is not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18). That's why many people often feel so empty inside. 

Jesus knew loneliness too. He surely must have felt it when His disciples deserted Him (Mark 14:50). The Father's presence more than compensated for this, however. He said, "I am not alone, because the Father is with Me" (John 16:32). That intimacy with the Lord is available to all who put their trust in Him and His Word (14:16-23). 

We can lessen our feelings of loneliness by reaching out to others. But even more important, we must reach out to the Lord. He is always with us, and He wants us to fellowship with Him throughout the day.

Jokes Of The Day

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his
limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the road side.
He ordered his driver to stop, and he got out to investigate.

"Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man.
"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.
"Oh, well, you can come with me to my house," instructed the
lawyer.
"But, sir, I have a wife and two children with me!"
"Bring them along!" replied the lawyer.
He turned to the other man and said: "You come with us, too."
"But I have a wife and six children," the second man answered.
"Bring them as well" replied the lawyer.
They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a
car as large as the limousine.
Once underway, one of the poor fellows said: "Sir, you are too
kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."
The lawyer replied: "Glad to do it. You'll love my place; the grass
is almost a foot tall."

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing when suddenly his boat was attacked by the Loch Ness monster. In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into the air. Then it opened its mouth to swallow both.

As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, 'Oh, my God! Help me!'

At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the atheist hung in mid-air, a booming voice came down from the clouds, 'I thought you didn't believe in Me!'

Come on God, give me a break!!' the man pleaded. 'Two minutes ago I didn't believe in the Loch Ness monster either!'

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


God Reveals His Promises, Despite Our Weakness

I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; Genesis 28:13. References from Genesis 28:10-22. 

When author Charles Dickens visited Niagara Falls, he wrote, I was in a manner stunned, and unable to comprehend the vastness of the scene. The awe Dickens felt at Niagara Falls is akin to the awe Jacob felt at Bethel... the sense that the finger of God had touched this place... for Jacob, this touch came at the most unexpected of moments. After the events we looked at yesterday, Esau was in a murderous rage. Jacob had to run for his life, leaving behind not only his brother but also a father who was probably still displeased and a mother to whose apron strings he appeared firmly tied. 

As he camped in the wilderness that night, it probably didn't feel like he had the birthright and blessing of Isaac and the Lord. However, that night, Jacob dreamed of a stairway to heaven. He probably saw something like the steps common to palaces or larger buildings. Angels were going up and down the stairs, signalling God's presence and His interaction with human affairs (John 1:51). 

God spoke to Jacob in the dream, renewing the covenant and promising to be his God in a personal sense also. God got Jacob's attention and that night his heart started to change... a little. His vow still sounded a bit like a bargain (v20-22). Nonetheless, he was awestruck by what he had seen and comforted by God's promise in the midst of desperate circumstances. He set up a stone of remembrance, anointed it with oil, and renamed the place Bethel, or house of God.


Stand Up for God

...for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? 1 Samuel 17:26.

David felt insulted by the challenge issued by Goliath. The 3 meter tall champion of the Philistines was not just making Saul 's armies look cowardly for refusing to respond to his harassment; Goliath was showing disrespect toward the living God. When the Philistines taunted the armies of Israel, they were mocking the God of Israel as well. By throwing insults at Israel, they were implying that God was also weak and ineffectual. 

This was something David couldn't tolerate. Our own honour is insignificant. When people do not show us the respect that perhaps they should, it matters little. God ultimately will make up for such oversights (Rom 8:16-19). But when God's character is called into question, that's a different issue. When God is ridiculed or belittled, it is the duty of every Christian to object, whether we do so privately or publicly. We should never ignore those who dishonour God. 

Do not be afraid to defend God 's honour. God will sustain you if you are willing to take a stand for Him. Whether it is in the workplace, in the classroom or in a social setting, let others know that God deserves their respect. Remember, God is always willing to defend you, even when you are at your least appealing... we can show him the same regard when he is being undeservedly mocked.
