Personal Story Of The Day

I am Thankful 

For the wife who says it's 'leftovers' tonight, because she is home with me and my family. For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is also home with me. For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes because it means she is at home, not on the streets. For the taxes I pay because it means I am employed. 

For the mess to clean after a party, because it means I have been surrounded by friends. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat. For my shadow, because it means I am out in the sunshine. For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home. 

For all the complaining I hear about the government, because it means we have freedom of speech. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the car park because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with a car. For my huge electricity bills, because it means I am keeping comfortable. For the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means I can hear. 

For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means i have clothes to wear. For a tired and fatigued body, it means I have been capable of working hard. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am still alive.

Jokes Of The Day

A group of U.S. soldiers arriving in Macedonia found themselves taking a surprise refresher course on first aid. Following an involved lesson on making splints, dressing wounds and applying tourniquets to stop bleeding, the instructor decided to determine how well the class had grasped the information given.

"Jones," he said, pointing to one of the solders, "say your platoon leader sustains a head injury during a cross-country march. What do you do about it?"

"That's easy, Sir," said Jones. "I wrap a tourniquet around his neck and tighten it until the bleeding stops."

The men of Charlie Company had been in the field for two weeks when the Sarge announces, "I've got good news and bad news. First the good news. Today we're going to change our underwear."

The troops start cheering wildly.

"Now the bad news," continues the Sarge. "Smith, you change with Jones. Andrews, you change with Murphy..."

Riddle Of The Day

It starts out with four, if you cut one off 3 fall down and 5 remain. What is it ?

Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
You stand at a fork in the road. Next to each of the two forks, there stands a guard. You know the following things: 1. One path leads to Paradise, the other to Death. From where you stand, you cannot distinguish between the two paths. Worse, once you start down a path, you cannot turn back. 2. One of the two guards always tells the truth. The other guard always lies. Unfortunately, it is impossible for you to distinguish between the two guards. You have permission to ask one guard one question to ascertain which path leads to Paradise. Remember that you do not know which guard you're asking -- the truth-teller or the liar -- and that this single question determines whether you live or die. The question is: What one question asked of one guard guarantees that you are led onto the path to Paradise, regardless of which guard you happen to ask?
"If I asked the _other_ guard, which door would he indicate

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day


When You Understand God's Purposes

...and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? Esther 4:14. References from Genesis 46:28-47:12; 50:15-21.

The story of Esther is the story of God's power over even the most terrifying circumstances. Esther was an exiled Jew living in the Persian Empire. When Queen Vashti displeased King Xerxes, Esther was the one, chosen from among many beautiful young women, who won the heart of the king and became the new queen. Later, when a plot emerged to kill all the Jews, Esther was used by God to save her people. The above verse records the wisdom of Esther's uncle Mordecai who saw God's redemptive hand at work. 

Joseph is another example of God's sovereignty. After his brothers sold him into slavery, Joseph ended up in an Egyptian prison, through no fault of his own. Later, through a series of events, Joseph became the second most powerful person in Pharaoh's Egypt. Behind Joseph's exalted position, however, we see the hand of God, who used Joseph to save the rest of his family. But we must not overlook the fact that Joseph's administration and policies were a blessing to the Egyptians and the other nations who looked to Egypt for help during the seven-year famine (Gen 41:56-57). 

In the reference scriptures, we find Joseph's family in Egypt because of the severity of the famine in Canaan. Goshen was located in northern Egypt and had fertile pasture land, which Jacob and his sons needed. Clearly the concern here is for Jacob and his family, but notice that Jacob blesses the Pharaoh twice (47:7,10). In this we see one of the many examples through history of the promise given to Abraham, that through him all the families of the world would be blessed... the greater blessing was still to come. 

As the story of Joseph unfolds, we see that God's purposes for bringing Jacob and Joseph's brothers to Egypt also included reuniting the family. Following the death of their father, however, the brothers were fearful that Joseph might take revenge for their earlier mistreatment of him. Instead, we find one of the most remarkable accounts for forgiveness in the Bible. Joseph clearly understood that God used him to bless his family as well as others in Egypt (50:20).


Write things Down

And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. Exodus 17:14.

Have you noticed how prone to forget we humans are? Abraham Lincoln observed about his own generation, "We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and which multiplied, and enriched, and strengthened us." 

God recognized that people have the habit of forgetting, so He instructed Moses to write down in a book what had taken place in the battle against the Amalekites. Furthermore, this was to be read to Joshua, the future leader of Israel, so he would be sure to remember as well. 

This victory would become a source of encouragement for Christians throughout history... all because it was written down. Are you keeping a written account of the good things God has done for you? Is there a record of the victories that God has brought about in your life? Some people keep a daily spiritual diary; others record only special events. But God's blessings need to be committed to something more dependable than our faulty memories.

When you're feeling discouraged, or perhaps even wondering if God loves you, take out your testimonies and refresh your memory. These records can be a continuing source of encouragement for you and others. In addition, take the opportunity to share with your children or grandchildren what God has done for you. The God who has dealt with you so graciously in the past is the same God who wants to work in their lives as well.
