Personal Story Of The Day
When Faith Blooms
The gorse bush is a shrub that was imported from Europe and now grows in several countries around the world. It has dense, dark green shoots, and in springtime it provides a dazzling display of fragrant, vibrant yellow flowers. Although, it's best known by hikers and fishermen for its vicious spines.
Remarkably, the flowers grow right out of the thorns. The whole year round the thorn has been hardening and sharpening. Spring comes, the thorn does not drop off, it does not soften. There it is, as uncompromising as ever, but halfway up appear two brown fuzzy balls, mere specks at first, that break at last... straight out of last year's thorn... into a blaze of golden glory."
So it is with the suffering that accompanies many of life's great difficulties. Just when our situation seems hopeless and hardest to bear, tiny signs of life appear that will soon burst into bloom. Take the toughest issue or the most difficult situation. There, God in His power and mercy can cause His beauty to be seen in you. No chastening seems pleasant at the time, Yet when it is all over we can see that it has quietly produced the fruit of real goodness in the characters of those who have remained faithful.
Jokes Of The Day
About a year ago my sister, who lives in Virginia, was talking with her four year old son, Brent. He was asking her why all their relatives from Wisconsin talk funny and sound like their noses are plugged up."They think we have an accent," she replied.
"But they have an accent, right?", Brent asked. "They talk funny?"
"Everybody talks in different ways" she tried to explain. "To them, we sound like we talk very slow and all our words are d-r-a-w-n out."
His eyes got big, and he whispered seriously, "Oh, no. You mean they hear funny too?"

"An abstract noun," the teacher said, "is something you can think of, but you can't touch it. Can you give me an example of one?"
"Sure," a teenage boy replied. "My father's new car."
************************************
A psychiatrist visited a California mental institution and asked a patient, "How did you get here? What was the nature of your illness?" He got the following reply.
"Well, it all started when I got married and I guess I should never have done it. I married a widow with a grown daughter who then became my stepdaughter.
My dad came to visit us, fell in love with my lovely stepdaughter, then married her. And so my stepdaughter was now my stepmother. Soon, my wife had a son who was, of course, my daddy's brother-in-law since he is the half-brother of my stepdaughter, who is now, of course, my daddy's wife.
So, as I told you, when my stepdaughter married my daddy, she was at once my stepmother! Now, since my new son is brother to my stepmother, he also became my uncle. As you know, my wife is my step-grandmother since she is my stepmother's mother. Don't forget that my stepmother is my stepdaughter. Remember, too, that I am my wife's grandson.
But hold on just a few minutes more. You see, since I'm married to my step-grandmother, I am not only the wife's grandson and her hubby, but I am also my own grandfather. Now can you understand how I got put in this place?"
After staring blanky with a dizzy look on his face, the psychiatrist replied: "Move over!"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians3:28. References from Ephesians 2:11-22; Romans 15:5-13.
One of the greatest testimonies to Christ's transforming power is the unity within His body... the church. Only the love that Christ revealed could enable us to care for each other and those outside the church who practice the sins which we have learnt to hate. Recall from our study on Genesis 3 that the consequence of the Fall of man was alienation.
In Ephesians 2, we see that the effect of Jesus' ministry is reconciliation. Throughout this section, Paul has two levels of reconciliation in mind. First and foremost, believers are reconciled to God the Father through Jesus the Son... through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. No other reconciliation is possible if a person remains spiritually separated from God. However, once this level of reconciliation occurs through receiving the Holy Spirit, then we see that Christ also reconciles those who are afar (Gentiles) and those who are near (Jews).
Similarly, those who are in the church and those who are fallen away, seeking redemption, are offered the same blessing. Miraculously, God is building His church (v21) out of formerly separated peoples who have been brought together in the power of Christ. We find this same emphasis on unity in Romans 15, where Paul urges believers to accept one another to the glory of God. The series of Old Testament quotations in this section offer a fitting summary of our study this month. Praise and thanksgiving is the proper response to God's great mercy in bringing the good news to Gentiles and the lost.
Profiting God's Way
And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: Genesis 14:22-23.
People often want to get rich quickly. In 1989 John Bennett established the Foundation for New Era Philanthropy. Under the guise of a nonprofit foundation, he offered donors the opportunity to double their money within six to nine months. In 1994 he allowed nonprofit organizations to participate. This too-good-to-be-true offer, brought waves of money from various institutions as well as philanthropists to support what turned out to be a pyramid scheme. In September 1997, Bennett was sentenced to prison for defrauding charities and others of $354 million.
Abraham also had the opportunity to gain more wealth quickly. Bera, king of Sodom, offered Abraham all the money of the city in exchange for the people. But Abraham considered the source and declined. The opportunity to become even more wealthy was not worth the price of being indebted to the king of Sodom. His city was so wicked that it would shortly be destroyed by brimstone and fire. Abraham preferred to let God provide for his needs; he didn't need Sodom's money. The desire to get rich can bring many pains and heartaches.
The apostle Paul wrote to Timothy, that the love of money is the root of all evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows (1Tim 6:10). The appetite for more and more can lead you into associations with people who can cause you serious spiritual harm. If you find yourself in any relationship, business or personal, that is damaging your spiritual life, drop it immediately. It may mean taking a financial loss, but when you make your relationship with the Lord your most important priority, He will take care of all your other needs (Matt 6:33). God's wealth can't be found in Satan's treasury.
